I have a 6.0l new iron block or my ls1 that is in my car now. I have a trick flow head and cam kit. I was wondering if it would be better to just get the kit installed on the ls1 or get the 6.0 block stroked out and put it on that block. Does anyone know how much it would cost to get the iron block stroked out and installed in the car or how much it would be to get the head and cam installed on the ls1? I am new to this so any help would be appreciated. I am in the beaumont texas area and had my trans built by lmr and was wondering if they would be a good place to get the motor work done.

what heads and cam? what kind of shape are both motors in?

The ls1 is in my ws6 right now and it still running great and the 6.0l is just a bare block right now..I bought it from jegs racing. Which is why i was wondering if Iwould be better off to wait and stroke out the 6.0 or if it would be worth it to put it on the ls1.The heads are cnc ported 215cc intake runners and 64cc combustion chambers and the cam is228degree/230degree @.050", .585"/.585" lift.

That cam will be really small if you stroke the 6.0 motor. More cubic inches=more cam.

so I would be better off putting that set up on my ls1 then? Also how strong is the bottom end on ls1s?

stock ls1 bottom ends (if tuned properly) can handle 600+ bhp. if rebuilt using ARP fasteners and good bearings, rings, etc etc...then the sky is the limit. especially for N/A apps.

Thanks for all yalls help!!

can handle 600 but how reliably... how long will the rings hold to that.

since i am wanting to stay n/a..I am probably just going to get the bottom end built on the ls1 and put the heads and cam on it.
