LT1 motor with Canton pan

[Pranav]

Got this motor I bought off Sean last Summer and ran for one weekend at Hallett before I gave up on optisparks.

Sean had built it and test started it once, but it didn't get used until I put it in my car.

It's a 0.020 over motor with ls7 lifters, guide plates, hardened pushrods and good bearings.

Came in at above 80% leakdown on the engine stand on dry cylinders and produced a clean oil filter after hallett. Ran great before I pulled for the ls swap.

This weekend I'm going to pull the Canton pan and HV pump before loading it in the back of the truck and dumping it on CL.

$1200 with the canton setup.

Still got tons of LT1 odds/ends that I haven't had time to go through yet.

Forgot to mention, it's a 4 bolt main block!

C'mon don't make me push a stripped down motor off the back of my truck in a low income area in Houston!

Who's left with an LT1 anyway?

((... so at charity time maybe we can find a home for it ...))

If you decide to do this I know just the place...

Still sitting on the stand, I'm finally going to get this pan off next week and get the motor moved if anyone either wants the motor+pan or just the pan/pickup/pump.

I am curious as this is less than the spec carb parts for my 305. Any advantage to do this over the spec carb? I am guessing I would need a new ecu for this. Thoughts?

Yes, an LT1 ECU. And wiring harness - Painfull... or maybe Howell: https://howellefi.com/product/2016-l...iring-harness/

Sean can help opine on the project since his 3rd gen has been transformed.

Check with Gary as he converted his 3rd gen to an LT1. I would go with the 5.3 though.
