What block to use HI, My two sons and I are new to the LS1 motors. We want to do a turbo LS1 with the power to put a #3300 regal in the mid eights. We are considering using the new LSX block but have concerns with extra weight on the front of the car. From what I understand the truck block is close to the same weight. What would be the best block to use considering weight and reliability. Would we be able to use the aluminum block with its 4 bolts per cyl. at this power level with any kind of reliability? Any thoughts.
