smokin5s Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 what kind of smoke is it? Are you sure it needs the bottom end rebuild? it could be allot of things.... the top end of the LS1's aren't hard to rebuild... but make sure to pick up some ARP head bolts... that torque to yeild crap SUX!
