No such thing as an Iron block LS2. They ALL came aluminum. IF its iron, its either a LQ4, LQ9, or L92. All of which can be had for cheap (block).

Some people refer to a LQ4 or LQ9 as a LS2. I would assume because of the 4.00 bore of the true LS2. IIRC... LS2 are gen IV. LQ4/9 are gen III. A LY6 would be closer to a iron LS2 as it is a gen IV. All L92s and true LS3 (not the LSx376) are aluminum.

If I am wrong on LS2s being a gen IV engine, nevermind. LOL
