if its still making noise when its warm be careful some ls1s do seem to get lifter tick and unless u wanna pull heads immediately i would stay away... see if odometer is at 0.0 if he pulled the battery to clear the check engine light, oil pressure and if u get a chance to get under the car where the spring seats in the rear tend to get really rusty and even break... check clutch engagement, all the basics, oil consistancy, coolant smell and color etc etc, synchros in the t56 have been known to go in the t56 with abuse, exhaust smell make sure it isnt sweet, just general stuff tires brakes all that good stuff that goes with any other car

Well it looks like ill be looking specifically at 01-02's unless a MTM or Hugger Orange Z28 pops its face up.
And thanks for the tips guys, I tend to overlook things being a kid and what not

I wouldn't pass on a 99 and up. The differences sound big but they don't add up to much.

all ls1s have that little slap/knock but like they said if it doesnt go away once its warm then there is an issue..mine has had it since i bought the car in 03 lol... also lookout for alot of smoke driving or reving it up..yes they are oil burners but u have to watch out for worn seals, rings...also always check the rpo codes..someone can always bs u saying such and such came stock..def keep an eye out on the 01 and 02s as well as the ls6 intake some also came with the ls6 heads casting number is 243..u could get lucky and find one.. good luck on your search.

agree to the 99' + route if the coin isn't an issue then by all means aim high, but you should be able to find an unmolested or mildly modded ls1 for a decent $.
(or replace anything with a newer crate ls1 great price) my brother's runs quiet as a fkn prius right now... lol puts down good base numbers and sounds nice when you know all it has is a catback.

I think I'm gonna try and set a 8k spending goal. That way I could find one listed for 10k or so, and talk it down. I'm going to try to find a Z28 because I won't feel bad doing visual mods. Hopefully I can't find a black one for a good price, that's what I'm looking for right now unless a rarer color comes up for sale
