427ci GMPP LS type block?
427ci GMPP LS type block? i read once about it in a thread and it was intended for like $2000. block bore is 4.125" and stroke is 4.000" and i guess it is close to LS1 style block. is there any thing new about this block?
thanks.
thanks.

thanks for the replies. i still want to know sure info about the GMPP LSX aluminum block? i saw a picture of the block in the thread i mentioned about above. btw, i hate that bowing smily (or actualy prostrating smily) when pointing that smily to something like cars or happy driving or such things.
thanks.

My sources say that their priority is releasing the Iron version in March. Beyond that I don't see any plans to make a aluminum version. I will never say never though LOL. But not very soon if ever.
As several have posted, there are other aftermarket aluminum blocks ready to hit the market as we speak.
They would probably concentrate more towards heads to utilize the capabilities of the GMPP Iron LSX block.
Thanks

At this time pricing for the GMPP LSX block has not been determined. Based on a target price I would say ....no. As time goes on I would think they could get close.
Both are unkowns at this point. It really depends on where the dealers price both items.
Sorry to be so vague. I really don't want to guess at this time.
