Default Alum LSX block

Is there one coming out in the near future or is it just a bunch of BS?

EDIT FYI im talking about the GM LSX block if they will release a alum version soon

I have heard around 7,000 for the dart block but not positive. It is made of billet aluminum. Looks nice but way to costly.

is that dart block only a 4bolt per cylinder ? that makes no sense if it is. I understand that billet block can handle a ton of power but wouldnt it just push water

I wouldnt want the GM block, theyve proven they are not good at it. Last I heard they scrap 7 out of 10 blocks......good luck with that....

i know of a well known performance shop that has been doing testing with them, but whether or not it will be released I don't know.

I don't see how this would be difficult for GM.

1. Add 6-bolt in the casting
2. Delete sleeves completely and plan on using a wet sleeve nodular iron sleeve.
3. Adjust main area as needed to include splayed billet mains.

........something like that.

Mass produce in GM quantities and 3000-3300 price point should be feasible.....that's only a few hundred more than an LS7 which would be mostly for the sleeves.......
