The newest revision of the GM LSX Bowtie block has been released and we have them in house right now.
Main features of this revision are:
-Improved metallurgy that results in upwards of 50% increase in tensile strength throughout the block.
-Reinforced deck with strengthened water passages and bolt holes
-Revised cam oiling passages that allow clocked cam bearings to optimize camshaft oiling in the highest performance applications with huge spring pressures and high loads.
Here are a few pictures of the blocks (there is a thin layer of oil covering all machined surfaces):

I've posted what I know was changed. Obviously, we have not built anything with them yet since they are brand new. From what I see, I see a much better product so far.

I have no first hand experience with this, but I monitor threads about core shift. Will be going with some kind of aftermarket block on the next build.
