...wish it was under the hood, but my I5 runs fine.

For right now I think I'll plan to transplant the LS1 in my 1st gen Firebird. Last summer I pulled this engine out of my '98 and replaced it with an LS6. The LS1 was sucking oil out of the PCV system. Once I got everything apart there wasn't any evidence of a fault on the LS1 engine that I could see. I'll have more leeway to mod this engine in my old car than my newer one.

I put the same engine in my 69' El Camino. Best all around engine. We also use the LS1 for our reconnaissance vehicles.

Nice mod! :thumbs: The first and only rear-engine T ever made :wink: - what are you going to do with all that empty space under the hood?

This was last summer's project. I'm getting better mileage than I did with the LS1, but I'm also getting similar worse mileage around town. Not hard to figure that one out.
