As of this morning, I now have an LT1/T56 combo thanks to some water and trees. I'm fine but this really hurts. I really liked this car. I took out a four inch diameter tree with the front corner.That spun me around again and slammed the back end into the trees where I finally stopped moving. Watched three other people nearly loose it in the same spot while waiting for the tow truck. Many more got squirrelly though. So as of now, no more 6.6 Gen 3. I'd rather try out a turbo LT1. So if anyone out there has info on building a good turbo combination or has links to some examples, I could use some cheering up. I think a turbo LT would be a great choice that's different. Thanks

The car the power train will go in

That sucks dude.. Almost lost my camaro a few times to some stop signs.. No one feels like stopping anymore..

Please let me know how your LT1 swap goes, planning on getting a 78 T/A soon

Going to do an interior swap also?

Jody's car was sick. I wonder if the person he sold it to finished it? I'd love to build something to that level but can not afford to. Basically, what I am looking at is if I can make a turbo LT1 perform like a stroked 6.0 Gen 3 and for around the same cost, I'm in. I realize the stroked 6.0 Gen 3 will not be pushing its limits and the LT1 will be more so but I'm not really planning on anything more than upper 400s pushing 500 to the wheels. I want a sick torque band more than anything else. My TA is not lightweight
