Can't wait to see an LS3 block with everything done to it. h/c/exhaust and all boltons with a nasty tune. 530 + rwhp should be expected. How about a forged internal ls3 setup for a procharger or a turbo, maybe twin turbos ?? The possibilities are endless.

As mentioned above the Vettes and trucks will have the same block ..
