chowder48:
F Y I i have a 96 9C1 police caprice with 380k on it I purchased for the donor to do up my '48 Pontiac  this thing is 330 hp stock but pulls really hard it will smoke the tires from standing start for a full block it accelerates like crazy (say tunnel vision) and a rolling start will hurt your neck if you arent expecting it  the cops here (small town) tell me it has a rebuilt motor and tranny  so i figure it was a steal for 350$ at the police auction  the body has all those cool lightening holes in it (rusty, big time..)  but hey  this thing rocks

a stock 96 LT1 is NOT 330hp , its 260-265 on a good day .but itsa a damn site better than the 190 horse tbi in my 89 9C1.  

August CC issue... waiting... ARG!  

Guys--
I'm really sorry- We had to cut the LT1 build from August's issue.  I'm putting together a summary that will go on our website to keep everyone who's interested up to date.  I'll put any new information here.

UPDATE!!

I'm starting an online LT1 series in our blog section where I'll deteil the build and the problems we had.  Go check it out now!  

Link please?  

69LT1Nova-- I see you've already found the blog, but for those who don't know, go to the top of this page.  There are three tabs to choose: forums, blogs, and rides. Click "blogs", and look down the list for "John McGann's Blog- The Chevrolet LT1 Files".  

So... is there more than the two blogs? One on the tear-down, the other apologizing that your LT1 is a powerless turd? I hope the entire LT1 story is still making it to print once you figure out WTF is going on. Waiting stinks...
