You can make 700 rwhp with an aluminum block ls1 pretty easily, with forged pistons and rods and a good set of heads and cam.

Aluminum block will do just fine at the power level you want to be at, and it will keep the weight down. Bob

well so far its specutaion without taking anything apart yet... there was like a big "deiseling" sound then clunk clunk... and oil every where!! i am under the assumption so far that it threw a rod , it went into the block and all is history.
this just happened at 7am today (colorado time). last night i was driving it around kinda hard...heavy footed... came home parked it. it was running great. i fired it up this morning in my driveway..and as i came off my garage pad onto the street and them ...bam!.....sounds expensive....fuuuuk beans...

There is no problem with aluminum blocks other than they are more expensive. Good luck with the rebuild.

Take a look at the above build using the alum block block and stock crank, that we did back at the old shop with a D-1SC ProCharger. This car spent a lot of time on a roadcourse, seeing more wide open throttle time then most cars do in a lifetime. Bob
