Default Looking at LSX

Hey guys,
I'm starting to save up for an LSX setup. I want to NA for the next 2 years or so. If you're running LSX 427ci, and your NA, what crank, rods, heads, cam etc, did you go with? And how do you like your setup?

Have you got a few more specifics about your engine combo? There are no LSX blocks currently available. It may be 3-6 months before they are. Have you got a direction on heads and intake system you want to look at? Things such as cathedral port heads vs. rectangle port heads will make a significant difference as well as their intake manifolds. Your basic layout will depend on your intended rpm levels.

Let's hear it!

Cheers,

Richard

I have it from a source that it's more like 3 to 6 weeks.

Some shipped last week and more should ship in a couple of weeks.
