The LT1 will require wiring harness mods and a different computer like the LS based engine. The trans is the same either way basically.

2005 GMC RST *sold
2006 Silverado SS with nawz
deff go with the ls based stuff. you have to put in perspective how old lt1 technology really is i mean look at how old that motor is, it first appeared in 92 thats 17 years old! that motor is older than some people on this forum! and that technology from the early 90's is really just the type of fuel injection and ignition. Not to mention ls was originaly designed just for racing (C5R) Ls1 for the win!

This lt1 conversion section is useless since all you guys just tell people to go ls base.
Pretty much.
We suggest they go LSx based. We'll still help them out if they choose to go old school. Bad thing about a LT1 in a 96 is you only have two years of engines to do a 48 state legal swap if you go LT1.
