Default GMPP LSX L92 L76 Crate???

Anyone know if GMPP has plans for a 454+ LSX L92 L76 combo? GMHTP mag had a write-up on the new LSX block and said a crate motor would be available in a few months (about now). Should be affordable HP Oui? Non?

Oui!

Likely cost significantly less than a LS7 motor, and if built right, should be able to handle more spray than any marginally sane person would ever use!

I say spray b/c with the weight of the block, it'll negate any power advantages over say a accessorized 402 or LS7 427 with the proper bolt-ons.

If you have no plans for spray or heavy boost, IMO, the LSx block's a waste, not to mention the added weight that will adversely effect the handling.

Not really, maybe some people will just want a huge all NA motor, Can you say 454 CI+ 550 RWHP will be a cake walk with that many cubes.

I say 600rwhp will be a cake walk for the tall deck version perfetly square 482 cubes (4.25 x 4.25) and TONY I have to disagree with you on this one BRO as this will make for the KILLER HUGE NA motor that will be indestructable and who cares about an extra 100 lbs on the nose when one's supercharger kit is doing that anyways!
