Alan, if I were to convert a '98 LS-1 Formula Firebird or Camaro to a LT-1 motored car, wouldn't the complete K-member, plus other front suspension pieces have to be changed to accomodate the LT-1? Also, do the LS-1 motored '98 cars have the motors set back farther than the LT-1, or??? Does NHRA check v.i.n.'s on these 1998 4th gens that are made into LT-1's, or are most people using '97 or older LT-1 or even V-6 cars, and making the small body trim and nose changes, in order to call them '98 model yr. cars? What works w/NHRA here, and what does not fly w/them? Thanks. WJ
