If you can get your hands on a totalled LT1 car with a good drivetrain, then do it. The motor and tranny aren't the monetary things that will get you with the swap. It's all of the little things , brackets, belts, sensors, wiring, ECU, hoses, etc, that will hurt the wallet. A person who is familiar with a 4th gen could do the swap in one day, easy. Keep in mind your 10-bolt is non-posi, so you'll want to swap the 10-bolt from the donor car also. As for an LT1 being a 2-bolt main, that doesn't exactly make in worthless. 2-bolt's can easily handle 400-450hp. Nytrus1 ran his well into the 10's on the spray with zero issues. Run synthetic oil, put a good oil pump in it, make sure the crank has adequate clearance. Yes the opti-sparks can suck. Sometimes they last forever, sometimes they quit after 20,000 miles. There are bulletproof replacements out there now though to fix this issue.

Cliffs-unless you can get a totalled (complete) car, don't do it.

Also, 5.30 isn't going to keep your rod bearings from spinning if you plan on doing much more than the occasional stab. Either get top shelf stuff, or mess around wiht heavier oil.

GES opesn up the clearance on the bearings to .0030 (from .0015 - .0018) and specifies 20W50 Valvoline (Diesel engine oil basically)
