That will be a hard record to determine. As that no 4th GEN Fbody came with one, the only way would be to swap it. Since I assume you want to compare this against Fbodies!? Or perhaps just 2005 GTO's and C5 equipped Corvettes......

So anyways, at least with the 4th GEN crowd, anyone putting in a 6.0L LS2 block, often had it modified to a much larger displacement and certain was not a drop in.

Do they exsist? I am sure of it, is there a large enough pool to determine a record? I doubt it.

But I would like to see some guys post results with a drop in LS2 and maybe those keeping the bottom end stock.

Unfortunately I see your answer coming from GTO and Corvettes, not Fbodies.

I don't know about that one.... MM has been 8.5 with one in an F-body. Probably not the "record" but people are using the combo.

Seems like there's a record for everything though...

I hear you there, there I am sure even notable members that have, or are doing it. I guess when it comes down to records, how specific or broad do we want to be. I throw that there out as a thought peice.

In the end its dollars that dictate more often then not who has the record. If I wanted the stock LS1 bottom end record, whats to stop me putting it in a rail car chassis and going for the record, or a 25.5 spec Fbody chassis. If one had unlimited funds, whats to stop them for breaking every record, I guess its desire.

As people start to cry fowl then it really gets silly like....

I want the LS1 Bottom end record in a 2002 Firebird Trans Am NON Ws.6 6 speed, stock suspension, stock tire, w/ Navy Blue Met. Paint.....

I think the OP has a good idea as it is a viable motor but I think I see this type of post come up more often then not.

i dont see the benefit of putting a stock ls2 in the car, its pretty much a waste of time and money.

im currently going w/ the ls2 block but its going to become a 400+ ci motor

the only other engines i can see putting in stock would be a ls3/7/9 whereas they have more cubes and a cam only or h/c setup can yield over 500rwhp

I get a good feeling when my "waste of time and money" stock short block 6.0L(iron block) puts a *** kicking on a stroker motor...

it made 6xx+ flywheel horsepower, and only has a mid 240's duration cam, so it drives rather nice too.

oh and it made 500+ at the tire, with a 4.88 geared 9" and 28" slicks, no dyno queen numbers.

well i guess it all depends what your going for....

from my perspective, running my stock bottom end motor to 6800+ rpms for 5 years and then going and putting in another stock ls1/2/6 doing the same thing is a waste of time and money cause the bottom end "being stock" is on borrowed time.

so if your going to put another motor in its a good idea to build it, thats all im saying

The real question is - who cares? Asking about the record for "cam only", "stock bottom end", or "pink cars with 10.5's" and all other derivatives is just stupid.

I think a Stock Bottom End for a Engine that Was avalible for a Platform is very viable. And some other things like FI through the bottom end or nitrous, or even cam only. Since there is a good chance that there is a bigger pool of canidates, it make it's worth while.

To be really honest. IF I had nearly unlimited funds, lets say 100+ Million take home Lottery type winnings. I am going to be pretty bored and I can be spending tons of free time trying to beat records for the fun of it.

Why not... No $ on a forged crank and, at least with a turbo car, it'll make damn near the same power as a larger engine.

I was "stock" cubic inch 6.0L. Just a .010 cleanup on the bores so it was a 366 vs a 364 and went 7.99 @ 177. Been as fast at 181mph.

Are you asking about f-body only ET's? I know DMizell was running some crazy fast ET's with a 6.0L stock bottom end...N/A. I think somewhere in the 9's, but it was in a mustang.

few people have been 9.7-9.8s...one was with just milled 799 heads, no porting...

https://ls1tech.com/forums/single-di...-only-fox.html

I would just shoot for the 346 record by Texas speed 9.6...If they threw in a 6.0 I am sure they would be 9.5s all day...
