Price
Availability
Iron block for boost
Makes good power with small cubes NA, sprayed or boosted
Responds well to mods like all the other LS motors

You can also find a 5.3 for a fraction of the price of any aluminum block LS, and they are usually a good bit cheaper than an iron 6.0.

I picked mine up for cheap, and after running it I don't think id ever go back to my older small blocks, all I have done to mine is a cam and intake and headers and it feels like there's more power there then my semi built 355

In my area, the junk yards are selling the 4.8 liter for cheaper. i paid $250 for my LM7.. it came with intake to pan. Seen some 4.8s for less, around 150-200 dollars

there cheap and readily available. didnt know you could go bigger the 347 cubic inchs, that means you could take the 4.8 and bore it to the 5.3 and have something that could rev to the moon and back.

If I had the spare parts and time i'd pop a 4.8 crank into a 6.0 block, you'd end up with about a 5.3 but a way under-square engine that would be super rev happy and very good for boost/nitrous.
