Definitely go with the LT1. Once it's in there, you'll wonder why you even questioned it. I had an 87 Firebird with a 305ci. in it that blew it's head gasket and decided to throw a small block 400 in it instead of fixing the 305ci. I painted it black so it would look just like the origional. The only visible diference really was the harmonic balancer. That engine surprised so many people. Once I took it to a shop to get the brakes worked on and when they test drove it after the work was done, they got a ticket for roasting the tires at a light. He said that he didn't even put his foot on the gas pedal. He wanted to know what year that 305 was... HAH! Trust me... go with the bigger engine.
