Your asking an LS based sight, what kind of answer did you aspect. Anyhow go with what you got I say, but their right there was problems with the opti-spark. Then again there problems with all mechnical stuff.

i do understand that i asked a ls based site but everyone could have possibly done different conversions so i figured it was worth a shot. I havent been able to find a ls motor around here on craigslist or by word of mouth so im going with what i can get

Your not looking hard enough. with so many sites, ebay, and im sure there junkyards around you.

Most salvage yards (if you have any around you) will have these engines. Very easy to find and cheap too. The place I bought mine from has several of them starting at $375 and can run up to $2k. eBay is loaded with them as well, you might get lucky and find one within driving distance and save a freight charge. A 200-300 freight charge on a complete is engine with harness and accessories around $400-500 off eBay is not a bad deal. Look around and you will find it hard to miss.

I went to a local junkyard today and they just got in a 99 trans am and it has a complete running motor they plan to pull out. total cost for it is under 2 grand so im hoping on monday i can get a small loan and go get it.

Whats wrong with the LT1? If you already have that why not play with it theres optispark delete kits out there and can made some real good power also, but an LS will be a lot better in the tuning world

i have no indifference between either motor, im just ready to haev a v8 in my truck. ive had it since highschool as a sophmore and im on my second v6 motor. i know that the ls1 can be tuned easier than the lt1. Overall im not too worried about making the motor make tremendous power, i just want it to be more than what im used to which it will be as soon as i get it running. Also i just want to be able to say i have a 6 speed in a old pickup. not many people in my area can say that.
