so what makes the LT5 so special? is there a reluctor wheel or something like that that adds to the cost?

My idea for my build will be as big of a bore as possible and as long of a rod as possible with an extremely lightweight crank, rods and pistons etc. Hollow or ti valves (32 valves is awesome until you have to buy new ones lol). If I do shell out for a build I will look at custom billet manifold options as I want to do something like an individual tb setup eliminating the Injector housings and Plenum entirely for short stacks and a large volume plenum... massive cams, 1500 idle is fine...ideas ideas..

"Ideas, ideas"?

1. A really big check book
2. A really good engine controls engineer
