Been done many times. I've even seen factory LT1 intakes that have been modified to accept a conventional distributor. Personally I think it's kind of a waste of time but neat nonetheless.

Anyway, unstable bob gable, I'm assuming you're building a "race" motor? Why waste so much money on an LT1 and potentially paying $3000+ just for a block? The cost just doesn't seem to justify the possible (and probably small) gains to me. It just makes a lot more sense to go with a conventional SBC money and power wise.... I'm all for people doing "different" things but I'm also all for people doing logical things and I just don't see the logic.
