Wow Clear car. Wish I could find a CA conversion that would be legal.

No. An LS1 is an aluminum block, so not all that heavy for a V8. Car still handles great...and even gets good highway gas mileage.

I average 17mpg in the city and 28 on the hwy. I have seen as high as 32 and as low as 13..depends on foot pressure.

Don't have any plans to attend any events at this time, but would be happy to catch up with any local folks

Very nice, some people will give you crap about swapping the motor but the LS1 is a fantastic powerplant and definitely the right move, killer car!
