What is the difference between the LS1 engines from the GTO, Corvette, Camaro, Firebird?
I am considering on swapping my 83' 944 Porsche with an ls1 engine and am trying to research on makes and models. Also on how much the engine costs with all
It's argued that they are the same. The Camaro and Firebird had 320hp and the Firebird Trans Am WS6 had 325 while the Corvette had 350hp. Some people say the Camaro and Firebird were underrated to help the Corvette sell, some people say the intake and

Suburban Memories on its 75th Anniversary
The family’s next Suburban came in the early 1980s, and was a maroon 1978 model with GM’s ubiquitous 350 cubic inch V8 under its hood.В Even though it was just a few years old, and well taken care of, the 1978 Sub required frequent body repairs to fight the rust-through problems inherent in the 1973-80 generation of GM trucks.В I remember as a small child (probably less than 10 years old) playing in this Suburban while the engine was idling one day, and deciding that I wanted to try to drive it.В I didn’t understand the concept of shifting into gear (fortunately!) and only revved the engine a little bit.В I already must have had gasoline coursing through my veins at that point!
We spent the next few years as a family in cars, until the late 1980s dad bought a brown/tan two-tone, two wheel drive, half ton, 454-equipped 1977 Sub as his work vehicle.В We could shuttle the dog around in the old Sub, and the four of us fit comfortably in it.В Though dad loved the notion of a big block in a half ton, this one got terrible fuel economy (not to mention pretty pathetic horsepower, given its 7.4 liter displacement), and its timing always seemed to be out of adjustment.В One improvement that we made to it was to paint the tan area between the mouldings the same brown metallic that the rest of the vehicle was.В This Suburban was the first vehicle I had the chance to drive more than a few feet, when I’d be permitted to drive it down the stone lane to and from Boy Scout meetings each Tuesday night.
While we owned the 1977, the family decided to order its first brand new Suburban, in the summer of 1987.В The 1987s were the first Suburbans to have electronic fuel injection (though it was only throttle body injection), and ours was to be a 1988.В I remember memorizing every photo, statistic, and detail in the 1987 Suburban brochure, and kept pushing my parents to buy one of the color combinations featured in the brochure – either brown/tan two-tone or dark blue/light blue two-tone.В Instead, dad chose steel gray metallic, which actually looked great (and in fact, the monochromatic treatment may have been ahead of its time).В The salesperson slightly messed up our order, and neglected to order rear air conditioning (which, with its giant unit hanging from the roof at the rear, looked like the afterthought that it really was), but we never seemed to have any issues with the front-only air conditioning performing well enough to cool the first two rows.В With a family of four, we rarely if ever used the third row seats.
