Default help whith motor name emblem.

ok. i didnt make it a poll. but i need help. i am getting a few new badges for my car and i cant decide what to call my motor.

i have a 6.2 L block. which is a l92, l76, ls3, ls9

now i have forged internals which is like a ls9. and i have a boosted motor like the ls9(but i have turbos)

so am i way out of line to label it a ls9? cause to be honest i would rather say i have a ls9. then a ls3. and i really dont want to call it a lsx since i am not suing the block. but i know that one works.

well guys of ls1tech. help me out

what to call it?


thanks

Hmm, that's a tough one. Personally I would want to be more accurate and call it an LSX. But, call it what ever you want. It's not like you would be lying to call it an LS9, 'cause the block was used for those. The only thing left from the original motor is the block any way, right?

Because an emblem really doesn't mean crap to me, I've seen targa top "Z06" cars with automatics before

what about "LS1000"

horse power should be at about 1000. and not to take stuff fomr ford. but when you bought a ford gt it said gt. then you do a twin turbo kit to it. you get a GT1000.

is this stupid?
