It uses an 8 Bolt Flywheel so be sure to source that if you go that route

I'd say FAST 102 / 102 TB

As for the Cam, you might want to read the warranty info as it mentions Modifying !
I bet changing the Cam will Void the Warranty .....

It seems like a heck of a deal to me. Like you, I'd really like to hear from someone who has one. Anyone??

Wouldnt you be able to build the 441 or 434 cheaper? Unless money isnt a factor.

slooter

Thanks I will have to look into that........................i'm
shure that the headers are the same,I will have to get a new intake,
mabey go to front mount distrubutor.

slooter

I don't know if you can build one cheaper..................around 9000.00
and change for this LSX 454.......there are some mighty fine parts in there.

PM me if you want the guys number he is a friend of mine. He went another route with a 370ci and huge turbo and is making about 1500rwhp in that setup, just ran 10.37 on 7.5lbs of boost with 20 more lbs to go lol

Sound's like a nice engine ,i just want to put something together for my son.
And I tought that this crate motor would be a good start.
I want to start running 10.90 class in OSCA in ontario, Can.,and then pick it up to the 9.90 class,
after he gets comfortable....... lol lol
Thanks For your comments thus far.

I was looking hard at the lsx454. Can't beat it for the price, forged internals, ready to bolt in with a waranty. I look at it this way 620 horse out of the box and upgradable.

Jontall

It's a great deal if it fits your needs. They should offer it with both reluctor wheels and six or eight bolt crankshafts.

I think its a good deal, but I wouldn't mind trying to build a 427ci LS with an LSX block with six bolt LSX heads for less and still get a bit more than 620hp.

I am currently in the process of building a lsx 427 and believe me it is not less to do. The things that kill you are the bolts, covers, gaskets, machine work. If your going to build it from the ground up with upgraded parts such as ported heads and arp bolts and things like that then you will blow right past the cost of the lsx454. It is a great buy for what you get.

That was what I was thinking.............nice platform to start with.

Good platform to start with. LSX block. 6 bolt LSXLS7 heads. 620 certified horsepower. Warranty that GM will stand behind. This engine is made ready to go. We could prob put together a package that was close to this in output and final trim, but it would not have the GMPP warranty. That is the biggest selling point of this engine.

I have sold a few recently and helped source an 8 bolt flexplate and flywheel for a few. They are not hard to get but they are a little more pricey.

tci makes a 8 bolt flexplate and so does gm according to the performance catalog.

Robin L

The LSA CTS-V engine also uses a 8 bolt crankshaft.

I used the stock CTS-V flex plate in my 2010 Camaro.

What did you do to your 2010 camaro,did you change it from stick to auto.
What trans did you put in it,glide,turbo 400.

I'm waiting for the 201......? z28 to come out,I will order it with a stick,
and when I'm board with it I will change it up to a auto,so I can take it to the track.

I installed the GMPP LSA Crate engine with a tricked out 4L80E. It was stick with the LS3.
I will probably stick the 6 speed back in the car as it's gettin boring with the auto.
I ran a 10.96 at Milan on Saturday then an 10.93 at Byron on Sunday. 1.62 to 1.63 60' on radials
