Wanting best N/A engine....what cubes
It will probably more toward the $10k price range....I figured that would get me a pretty nice setup to start with as far as a short block, i really wish money was no issue , id have a built ZO6 parked in the garage
416ci, ported L92 heads, ported L76 intake, cam in the mid 230's, 11.3:1 cr, all forged. You'll make about 530 RWHP. Thats a damn nice street car set-up that will idle close to stock.
I know a guy with one in his C6 Vette. Its badass and if it weren't for the sound of the exhuats you woudl think its stock sitting next to it in traffic

LS6427,
get an LSX 454 block. and just go from there. LSX blocks can hold i wanna say 2000hp possibly not 100% sure. the LSX 454 is a beast it beat a built GT40 talon AWD by like 3 cars or so. i dont know the mods but i know it was a all motor camaro m6.

He has a budget, $10,000 will not build a properly matched 454ci. At least it will not be enough to build a 454ci with the proper top end package (heads/intake) to make use of that many cubic inches.

I have an LSX block in a crate waiting to get built. Its not the block that makes power....its the bore, stroke, compression, heads and intake. Blocks offer nothing for power production.

I was talking to the other guy..."LSwhat".
I was telling you to do a 416ci. 530 RWHP is what they'r making. Under $10,000 for sure.

We have a customer who cant finish his project now and will be looking to help him sell his LSX 454 short. Might be a good opportunity to get a 454 already in production.
Sometimes you have to build in stages. Nothing wrong with using what you have until you can put a better top end on.

well yea i knew that... i was just saying get the block and go from there but now since you have it. get the AFR 225cc heads or the World Products 230cc heads from jegs there called World Products Warhawk for the LS1X there 15 degree heads 2.080" intake 1.600" exhaust valves. There about a grand each well a little over. or even the DART pro I heads. 225cc. DART stands by there product.
after that idk...maybe 11.1:1 compression or higher. depending how much your looking to push. the intake get the FAST LSX intake with the 78 or 92 throttle body. im not the best at this stuff but im ok at it. i think this motor setup would be pretty beastly if your ask me. but who am I to say???

You looking to stay N/A and never spray it? You could get that 454ci short block "99blancoSS" is talking about, put some ported L92 heads ($1,500) and an L76 intake (about $400 I think) and a 90mm TB and a cam in the 240's. That would be a badass engine, definitely make near 550 RWHP. Well under $10,000. Upgrade later when you have more money. That block will be the last block you ever buy. Probably same with the crank, rods and pistons.

if i bought that LSX block id boost it all day F1 procharger or like a 94mm turbo on it. but i aint got any money. i was saying for whoever wants to build an LSX block with the bore and stroke of a 454ci that setup would be insane. arent the LSX blocks like 6 bolt mains too? all i know is when i build my next motor itll have like 900rwhp or so prolly just gonna be a 408 stroker with the F-1 procharger on it. if you look up on youtube inspector12's camaro mine will be basically like that i like that thing is a beast id most deff like to get that camaro put slicks on the back a full roll cage and strap yourself in for one helluva ride. prolly looking in the sky for 1st and 2nd lol.

750+ fwhp, will run mid to low 9's on 91 octane pump gas in a 3300 lb car.( in our long block configuration) 7200 rpms, 4400 or bigger stall. The long block is $16,750, the short is $10,450. Both receive HKE special full race prep worth about 40 exra hp over a regular build. 7200 rpms, 4400 or bigger stall.
