They may call it a "350" but it's actually like 346 cid....  Pretty
slick looking motor too with that thermo-plastic intake.

For tech info on the new LS1, I believe that Hot Rod and Chevy High 
Performance both have detailed articles on the new LS1 and that 
Corvette Fever will have it in the September or October issue.

*Supposedly*, only the 'vette will get the all-aluminum block.  The
F-car line will get an iron version of the LS1 in like '98 and the
trucks will get an iron head/block version of it in '98 as well....

later,

T.
