I 'm thinking about converting to a 1995-'96 LT1 primarily for better gas mileage. While my engine (original) still runs ok, I'm tired of hoping for better gas mileage with the non-replaceable Quadrajet (15 to 17 mpg) that you cannot adjust because of its umbilical cord to the computer! If I have to run with a computer, and am going to replace the engine anyway, what would be wrong with the LT1?
does anyone know if there are any major problems to be aware of?, like hood clearance, bolting up to the muncie 4-speed, etc?
I know the LT1 has about 10:1 compression. Does that mean Premium gas? or can they run off of 87 octane?
You'all 've helped me a lot in the past. Let me know what you think about this idea. Thanks in advance! Jim
