Howdy,
Need more power in my AWD beast, so looking at the LSX block and doing a 408 that can take big shots of nitrous. If I use the LSX block, can anyone tell ? I need it to look stock in my 2004 Escalade AWD.
Thoughts?

Its hard to see what block is under the hood of these vehicles. Paint it black and I doubt anyone will ever know.Originally Posted by WarCloudLS7

The extra head bolt bosses in the LSX block will give it away. Originally Posted by WarCloudLS7

Black paint should hide the truth, and I am going to try the camo method. A forged crank, rods and pistons will not care about black paint on a fresh LSX block. 4L80 or a 4L90 should work, and then we can find the weak link in the BW 44-81 transfer case and AWD.
