Shhhh! I find it funny when people try to use ad hominems on me! :P
But yes, this is a total pissing contest. I'm just waiting until he either gives up or admits defeat(which is the smarter choice, but people think they are smart for some reason?). I know this is the internet, so it'll probably be neither. :D

Tell me one car that you have worked on. I will ask you a question about that car. In return, I will let you ask any question about a car I've worked on.
1976 Corvette Stingray with a 5.7 LT1 crate motor.
Go!

Man, I've worked on more cars than you can even imagine. I've been a gearhead for almost 25 years.I collect cars and Blueprint HP engines. I LOVE cars. I've personally worked on anything from GM ranging from 65 to the 90s. Dodge/Chrysler from 66 to 76. Ford late 60s, skip the 70s and most of the 80s, to like Mid 80s to late 90s. 80s BMWs and mid to late 2000s BMWs, 80s and 90s HP Alfa Romeo and the list goes on so I'm not gonna bother.
Fuck it, fohfoh is right, I don't care anymore, if you wanna believe a RPM limiter is the same thing as a Speed Limiter go right ahead. I mean don't let the fact that they are two separately functioning entities phase you, cuz they are part of the same "system". ::) ;D

Now you pussy out? Come onnnnn! Ask me a question!
I'll ask you one... what was so special about the Chevy LT1 350 and the 305? Example: 1984 Camaro sported both of these engine types (in the form of the Z28 using the 350 and the regular Camaro using the 305). What was so special about these engines that relates to BOTH engines (gave you the most obvious question that anyone who has actually worked on GM cars should know this).
I'll give you a hint...
EDIT:
I was practically giving the answer away... haha

Dude just to humor you, it's the same engine with a different bore, as well as the LT1 having a more HP cam, which is what can make the 305 an LT1 and better fuel delivery system as well as better ignition depending on specifics like what you wanted at the dealer. AFAIK though, they never made a stock or production LT1 305. Here's the thing, all stock American cars from give or take 72-73 to the mid to late 90s SUCK ASS! This is due to 3 things, overlapped valve timing, EGR and Catalytics. Oh as well as choking the engine with single exhaust. Almost the exact same engine (American Small block V8) that were putting out 300HP in the 60s were putting out half or less after the introduction of the things I mentioned above. I mean Christ, just by swapping out single exhaust to dual gives you up to 20% more power AND miles to the gallon. ;) Before you jump to conclusions, about the shitty output, that was a "general" statement, there WERE exceptions, one of which was the LT1. :)
Oh I almost forgot, the LT1s also had a larger and better cooling jacket than the 305s and other GM smalblock V8s, which was part of the design transferred over to the aluminum LSs from the mid or late 90s.
