a stock 930 engine weights as much as an iron block 350 with an aluminum intake maniforld and headers, an LS1 is lighter than that. It will not have any negative affects on the handling, probably just the opposite. We should do our homework and obtain knowledge on a sugject before commenting on it so that we do not perpetuate urban myths.

I used to have a sbc powered 914. While i did not particularly care for the car's personality, I found myself constantly defending the car to people who claimed the handling was ruined. Total BS, it handled better after i got done with it than before.
So many people get into the "I read in on the net so it must be true" syndrome.
