LT-1 is not that strong of an engine. I had one in my '96 Z-28 and trust me I had to do a LOT to it in order to get it stronger and up over 500hp. There is a reason why Chevy went to the LS1 back in '98 to 2002 in the Camaro and Firebirds. Ten times stronger, a lot more mods from the get go and nowhere near the issues with them from factory.

Donks are popular in South Texas. $10,000 rims on a $2,000 car. It has an LT-1 in it.

That's not a donk. That's a box Chevy and LT1s are trash by today's standards.

My buddy is doing a frameup on a 57 stepside. Has an LS and 4L60E out of an Envoy going in it. I'll post some picks later. Watching the truck race right meow.

I don’t think this guy was looking for over 500 horsepower. They put the LT-1's in Camaro's, Corvettes, and the Impala SS for a reason. They were good engines until the mid to late 90's. The LT-1 was a big upgrade from what was in this car originally. I never stated that the engine was a STRONG engine. I simply stated that he has an LT-1 in it.

Agreed the LT-1 wasn't all that great when it came out. Chevy knew they messed up with that one. Not as bad as the 3.8 blow'em up engines in the G-Bodies back in the '80s but it was bad enough that within a year they were already designing the LS1. 3rd cousin of mine was the Service Rep for Chevy for every Northern Illinois Chevy Dealership. Was funny whenever I would walk in I was treated like I was the owner because all it took was one word from us and that dealer got an *** chewing,lol.

That car had a 305 or 307 in it originally. The 307 you can't do much with but the 305 you can do quite a bit with. A 350 with the center bolt cylinder heads would be a better engine then that and a lot stronger and more hp. LT-1 wasn't that great when it came out, didn't take much for them to go boom! And the parts ugh so damn expensive just to do a cap and rotor change compared to the LS1 when it came out.

Donks are generally lifted, I get it. Nbd!

It's just a picture of a car that I saw today and thought that it looked different. I didn't post it so you guys could rip it apart. It's not that big of a deal. Damn, can't even post a picture of a car without triggering somebody into ripping it apart.

And, the Impala SS with the LT-1 had more horsepower than the Grand National. It is what it is. Engines evolve. Shiit, my 2005 Dodge truck is mostly stock and has over 400 horse. Grand National's and GNX's are beautiful cars though.

Wow. Donks are the body style before box chevys bro.

305 are absolute trash. Boat anchors.

Nice a complete frame off rebuild. My ex neighbor down in Illinois has 2 classic cars. A 1969 Buck GS Convertible Stage 1 I think? I can't remember it might be just a regular GS. Second one is going through a complete frame off rebuild as well as of last year. 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible in Jet Black. Man were those cars fun to drive on Friday nights cruising on Route 66 in my old hometown.

Stock 305 oh yeah junk. Seen a few that were built including one in a '94 S-10 it hit around 325 on the dyno. Still not bad for a 305. Considering how little HP they had what 180 or so from the factory.

I've seen late model Camaro donks. I've even seen a Lexus SC430 Donk and an Impala SS donked out.
