Most info is out there. The engine has a 58X crankwheel like the ZO6. It has a spring loaded timing chain tensioner. It has a cam phazer built into the front cover. It has cylinder on demand for cutting out 4cyls at cruise. The intake looks wider at the top and has a 90mm tb with a upswept angle on it, maybe 10-12 degree's up. The cylinder head is square port intake with offset intake rocker. It is a mix between a LS7 and LS6 on port location.

.080 is stupid unless you have 2 more in the trailer for the final passes. Those that use them are super max effort, track only setups.

Either sleeve or C5R, that is what is on the market right now.
so who is talking nonsense??? this guy wanted to know how he could get an iron block to 427 inches..... so i told him. yes i think it is stupid to run an .080 over iron block, but it doesn't mean it can't be done, and that people don't do it. i see a bunch of 418's in all out race efforts. (.080 over w/ a 4" stroke). personally i would want to keep as much sidewall as possible. so i'd prefer to stay w/ a stock bore, when it needs a rebuild maybe go .030 over.

i don't know who you were directing the nonsense talking to...

i am running a 435ls1 with 4.125stroke and 4.100bore. extremely lightweight setup, solid roller, 200hp NOS, and havent had any problems, doesn't mean i wont have any problems, but i have finished 6 bottles of NOS. my opinion is 4.060 bore on any ls1 can be used without any problems with 100shot of NOS. so i dont think you should be worried with bores up to 4.060. my engine is race only but we'll se how long it last.

just my $2.00

Kurt,
My N2O 346 is a hassle. Build me an aluminum 11.5:1, 427.
