    If it was a Gen1 SBC w/ a mechanical fuel pump, I'd say that you had a fuel pump taking a dive.

    I'm not sure on the architecture of the LS1 in regards to injector placement, but you may have either a leaking injector(s) and a bad intake seal allowing fuel to leak into the crankcase, or bad rings. More than likely the latter

    What code are you getting?
