Properly set-up LSX stroker can make just as much power I would think, or at least have a much better power/weight ratio.

I'm not building anything, the engines I want are already built and sold as packages. TT BBC or SBC, just don't know if the BBC will fit.

I doubt a BBC would fit in a C6. I mean an old school SBC is to tall to fit in a F-Body with even a tampon put on for a filter.
Besides if you had a super BBC with hp SO HIGH that the LSX series of engine just can't get the hp high enough just how much are you going to spend on the IRS?
I mean you would'd have to swap out with tank treads or something to keep the rear end intack. That and two 5 ft wide tank tracks to keep the back end on the ground.

if your talkin about a bbc swap your dumb. and for saying any bbc would waste a ls1 is dumb. There are plenty of guys out there who run 346ci ls1 motors on pump gas N/A that put down 500rwhp and 500rwhp in a c6 set up properly is money. Due to the drivetrain issues w/just the ls1/ls2 motors think how that would hold up to a 650rwtq motor that u would consider putting in a ls1. by the time everything was said and done a lsx motor all motor small cubic inch w/the right suspension mods and drivetrain mods would hand any stock drivetrain bbc car you could build and beat it for years. but have fun spending countless hours on a bbc swap into a c6 and then swaping the rear over to a 9in cause you'll need it and a built auto cause no 6-speed will hold up to a bbc. but maybe its just me.
I dunno if there is enough room in that engine compartment and doesnt make a whole lot of sense moneywise, but again its your car so do as you wish and if it fits and if it does im sure it will fly. I think it will definately require some modifications of the engine bay as I was helping my buddy work on his 05 C6 last weekend and there didnt seem like there was enough for anything in there.
LSX motors have gone in the 7's alot lately and I personally am building a solid axle powerglide vette. It still has an LS based motor and I dont think a big block would make much sense or much more power than I plan. I believe with enough fabrication it would fit. Anything can be made to fit. Everyone has there own way, so good luck and be the first to cut the **** out of a C-6. Believe me when I say ,I know you will have to cut the **** out of it cause I did alot of fabrication just in the trans and rearend.
