Agree! I'm way too deep into my LT1 build to change now....but there are days I'm more than tempted to sell everything and go LS.

Still way on the fence on this LS thing.. really don't like having
to have any sensors... also worried about oiling problems
and external pumps.. been there on the Ponitiac originally and
it was an issue

I know tried and true in my dart small block stroker in the Pantera
that just keeps going and going..

My buddies mostly Mopar guys will not even let me talk
about an LS

Just don't need something that blows apart like my
old 347 stroker

That's an engine building issue -- not an LS vs SBC/SBP issue.... Motors are motors I've had a bunch of great SBC's and a few POS SBC's.... The Mustang motor couldn't make 3 laps with one engine builder - and is fantastic when taken to another builder.

There's no sensors required on a CARB'd LS motor.... only a coil (timing) controller made by MSD.... which is as simple as an MSD box on your distributor.. the big difference is you're not driving the distributor (there is none) and the oil pump off the cam.

So I did laguna last Sunday on the no sound limit day
Car was causing me issues all week long and I almost
gave up going. But the weather turned out beautiful and
my Pantera buddy was there with his trusty camera

This shot made it all worth the effort. My thanks to Skip
for helping me on the resizing

The MSD box still need a cam, crank, and MAP sensors.

There is another option, that some say works better than the MSD.

Thanks Andrew for the heads up on
the smart box. Still need to get serious
and sell the 494 then move forward with a new combo

Really would like to run the bird on the track some day

Great looking picture of the Pantera, Bob. Glad you had fun with it at the track.

Thanks Trey... taking a short rest before
I start anything new right now
