Look around, man. Does it absolutely have to be a 1997 model? Your best bet are the earlier LT1s, due to the OBD1 emissions systems. The best LT1 you can buy is arguably a 1995, because it has a vented optispark ignition, OBD1 emissions system, hardened pushrods, and has a MAF (will respond better to mods).

Keep in mind that "older" LT1s can be had at very reasonable prices, and in some cases, as low as around $5500-$6500 for a nice example.

The advantages to an OBDII car (1996-1997) would be that they came with an additional 10hp, making the total 285hp. They're also obviously a little bit newer as well. The 1996 and 1997 horsepower gains come from a revised exhaust system, which houses two catalytic converters instead of one (1993-1995).
