The LT engined GM cars were the last engines that looked good when you opened the hood--since then they have used engine covers and other crap to cover up some fantastic engines, but they looked like crap with all the coils, wiring and lines all over---also, wow are they hard to work on

But, the crappy LSx motors sure do make serious HP. And come to think of it, the LT1 had a big dumb looking cover on it in the B-bodies.

yes they did

In my wifes 33 ford coupe have one of those factory special lt with polished alum valve covers, the intake manifold and none of those accessories hanging all over the front of it and it looks pretty good, however, a hemi or a flathead would look good too

Well, it bites no matter how you look at it ... guess I'll be saving the SHP LTx build money for the new Z28 when it comes out in a couple of years. Well, I know why the poo-pooers are happy about this ... they didn't want to have to go up against combos made out of these blocks. "There is no replacement for displacement."

The Feb issue of GM high tech just covered a LTx event which shows these motors aren't dead yet. My car even made the cut.
