Default Re: LT1 engine in a 1998 Firebird?

Ed, where ya been !!!!!

This country, including states, cities, corporations, law practices, big and medium sized businesses and flower shops run like that all the time as a business. At the time, Pontiac was the official car of NHRA, they wanted the new body style on the track but dragged their feet getting the LS1's into the guide, they couldn't come up with the specs fast enough. I know, they really should have. They spent some money instead and brokered a deal for the cars running with an LT1 to use a new front fascia clip that they gave away, I was the last to get one, hence, my stand that there's no performance to be gained with the later model nose, it actually hurts MPH !!!! The body is the same and some small interior pieces are different.
And, YES, I have seen a 98 with an LT1 in it !!!!

To all of the purists, get over it. It makes no difference. Once the LS1's hit the circuit you had more to cry about back then, yea, more than ten years ago !!!!!!!!!!!

Somewhat different scenario to what Alex had alluded to though, with the Shelby deal, no big cam etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. all being performance enhancers, same deal, get over it, there are way bigger fish to fry now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ????????????????????????????????????????
