Why are the crate motor prices for the LT1 and the LS1 almost identical? I don't get it.

The LT1 internal dimensions may be the same as a garden variety crate "Goodwrench" 175 hp smog engine, but I don't think the parts are the same. The PM rods, hyper-whatever pistons, etc all cost more. Are they milking it? Sure! The LS1 and LT1 are both sold for hot rodding applications as well as stock replacement. In other words, they are expensive because the market will bear it.
