GM says 500 for a crate engine...

Pretty sure 500 is it. I remember reading the extra 1000 was for the transmissions and axle.

This is true...the driver needs a break-in, too....

Now I just need start and finish my move to Tucson, buy a house there, then I can find a 1LE just for me.

I know what you are saying...I got one of the first ones, so it is nice knowing GM will back up what Al O said in regards to honoring the warranty, even when used on track...

UPDATE: Just received call - SHE IS ALIVE! I can't believe it, but the engine swap is done. They wanted permission to perform the engine break-in procedure as outlined in the LT1 Engine Installation Guide and then drop that oil and put in another fresh filter and oil. Cross your fingers that it goes as planned because, if so, I will have my 1LE back today!!!!
