RE: LS1
i really dont think GM would have a leg to stand on, the fact that they are hemi's means the heads are completely different. other than that, howmany ways can you really build a block in a production car? most smallblocks anymore are pretty similar, you just tweak a few things here and there.

RE: LS1
Would need to see rwhp/trq numbers to even have a good guess.... aside from that take it to the track and find out. I want to say yes but I've seen cars make great peak numbers and have nothing under the curve to get things done. I would say you have a shot considering you are ~200lbs lighter (was that full fuel weight?) and make ~350hp but your trans and open diff (along with the 3.23s) are going to hold you back.

I'd say you have a very good possibility if you don't send your tire up in smoke.

RE: LS1
If you make that to the tires..I say you have it in the bag (save for having a 'one tire fire' incident [8D])
An LS1 is making ~300rwhp and has a few hundred lbs on you...I don't see where you would have a problem from a dig or roll aside from traction.
