There was a toyota version in the stands at Daytona over the weekend, may have been able to score that one....

Man, screw that. If you are going to sleeve it like tainted said you can can scour on here for a 5.3 aluminum block. They are cheaper and can be sleeved just like an LS2 block. I bought 2 of them on here for $300 a piece.

If you are going to stay N/A you can get an LS7 block cheaper than that and already have a 4.125 bore.

The cheaper starting point is the aluminum 5.3. I have seen them on ebay for less than 300 bucks and I have never seen a 6.0 block go for that cheap.

With the aluminum 5.3s you just have to be careful to get a rwd version as the LS4 front wheel drive version is cast different and I don't think can be mated to a rwd transmission.

Thanks guys but I think I'm going to stick with the LS2 all input is appreciated

May I ask why when we have posted a cheaper viable option?

4thgenRookie

I don't want to risk spending the money and getting the wrong block as stated earlier with the whole front wheel drive situation also I'm not sure if I want to change this block being unsure if it would alter the type of application I'm going for being a sleeved 427 but I'll look more into it

In that case you can get them already done from ERL so you won't get the wrong one. They stock them, just give them a call.

You won't have any problem telling the difference in the blocks. The FWD version has a different bolt pattern for the bell housing. It's easy to see the difference.

I don't. That seems like a lot of unnecessary expenses just for 600rwhp.

You could do that with a junkyard 4.8L build, a nice size turbo, and meth injection.

I checked out their sight and all I could really see were straights, they did have a pretty nice application (at least I thought so) called the superdeck that could work well with sleeves

4thgenRookie

Ok cool thats what I was mainly worried about, checked out a couple identical swaps on youtube a lot of people actually use the 5.3L

Going for n/a

i thinnk most of the point of the CGI block is weight. sure, you can do the same with a truck block. but a bare truck block is ~250 lbs

It's actually a little less. One of the mods (Reckless) weighed all of the ls blocks and the 6.0L iron weighed 216. Here is a link.

It's all good. No matter how you look at it, its still a heavy SOB

4thgenRookie

That was the whole part I was hung up on "Weight" I wasn't specifically comparing it to any other blocks, it just seemed like a nice advantage to have in a street/strip car
