Yes, LS1, LS2, LS3, and LS4 are all various iterations of the corvette motor.  They usually have quite a few special considerations that differ from the standard Chevy motors including using closed cooling systems.

I’d try asking on Ball of Spray. I don’t see much in the way of individuals custom making their own handles.  But you can buy reasonable handles from S-Lines and Masterline as well. 

Thanks; I'd been trying to remember the name of that group!

Says 89 or 93 for LS1.  I would run non-eth 89/92/93, whichever was obtainable.  I’m not sure if the manuals were addressing eth vs non-eth back in those days but I would just assume those engines are designed for non-eth fuel.  

I'd thought so as well but went wandering through the 2002 brochure, I discovered that the LS1 is a Corvette, 375HP, engine; THAT is the one requiring 93...

I had the same issue with my boat, after talking with FAE you have to raise your swim step and re-align your exhaust so it doesn't interfere with the wedge. I had an old FAE with an older style bracket that bolts the the swim step, my new one attaches to the wedge bracket. 

I have a fresh air exhaust that tends to get in the way of the floating wedge being raised or lowered. Right now, I have to push forward the exhaust pipe in order to barely get enough clearance for the wedge to move up/down. If I had just an extra half inch of clearance, it wouldn't be an issue at all and the wedge would be able to move freely without every clipping the end of the exhaust that is pointing down into the water.

Anyone experienced similar challenges? The most seemingly obvious solution would be to somehow trim away a bit of the metal on the tip of the exhaust pipe to create more clearance. I'm not quite sure how I would do this though or if it could potentially created other issues.

Appreciate any ideas/solutions.

Thanks,
