All of them I am going to put it in my 77 camaro want to do a twin turbo set up and try to reach 1000+ hp and wondering if any Ls block can handle that much power or do I need to get a aftermarket block like lsx

All of them. Some not too long. LQ9. Cheapest yet heavy. LSX not needed.

I would prefer an LSX block for something like this, but iron 6.0L block would work. I wouldn't use an aluminum block unless it had the stock cast iron sleeves replaced with ductile iron sleeves (Darton/ERL).

The one and only block I wouldn't want to push that high is the LS1 block. Pretty much all of the others, and ALL of the iron blocks are good for 1000+.
