yea thought of that adam, but since my cousins last 3 cars (VT SS LS1, VX SV300 LS1 and my cousins VY Maloo R8 LS1) all have had problems with thier engines, all used quite alot of oil, the sv300 I believed had problems with piston slap, so not keep on an LS1, and buf, ive thought of it, but while im young (20) and got a fair amount of money pouring in, im wanting a good sized v8, that ill eventually be able to make alot of mods to (itll eventually become supercharged, Twin throttle body, more stuff etc... (petrol isnt much of a worry for me)
