On the lt1 block, is there no liner? Are they just doing a hard surface on the aluminum like others? If so that blows

does that really even make a huge difference is how much power the block could handle? I understand it should a little but it doesnt seem like something drastic

Anyone have a guess as to whether and/or how much interference is required for those inserts? I'd think that form fit would be good so as to maintain relatively uniform expansion by avoiding zones of compressed material, but that's really just a guess.

Seems like anything around 1k wheel, an ls3 can handle.. so why do people go iron to only make 8 or 900 and have that extra weight keepin the front tires down

Besides price they probably go iron because they think a LS3 can't handle what's needed is what I would guess.
