Oh well, $500 lifters prob. aren't too much of a concern for someone doing this build

 

Is any info available on heads that will fit on this block?

Will the Warhawk heads fit on it?


Jay Johnson

 

Why wouldn't you be able to use an Aluminum rod? We use them in every other LS style block.

Matt

 

All pro and ETP have heads for it. Warhawk stuff will not fit.


I was under the impression it came with a custom set of lifter retainers ... i.e. we wouldn't have to swap to tie bar lifters. Oh well... more money

 

The lifter has a special retainer that GM was going to supply. It held a pair of stock lifters in a plastic type device that was very nice and bolted down between the lifters themselves with a single 6mm bolt.

the basic 4 bolt afr will fit fornow correct? untill i want to upgrade heads?
i was also under the impression thatthey camewith a"lifter tray"

as for alum rods, i wasnt sure if they hit the bottom of the cylender or what. haventsen this block in person yet?

 

The guy at PRI said that any LS based head will bolt on, but if you want to use the extra head bolts, you'll have to get with one of the aftermarket head guys like ET or A/P, maybe World will offer the GM bolt pattern in their heads down the road too.

The same guy had a small nifty 2-lifter retainer thingy that bolts down and works like the factory lifter tray. I'll bet that Jesel will eventually make a dogbone retainer that bolts in that same hole for high-end lifters.

 

mmm so pretty.

 

I'm holding my breath to see/know the spec's and price for 500"+ crate engines . LSX block is my screensaver....must...resist...

 

Too bad you can't opt for Pontiac Blue powder coat for the block . Damn I like everything about that. I don't even care about the extra weight of the iron .

 

I got mine monday....

 

FWIW the LSX blocks we have at the shop were supplied with retainers for stock type lifters.

 

That is beautiful! Need to consider a 454 for the chevelle now...

 

Guess you can then Now i would have known that if ours were here

 

Are they all ""SOLD""

They come with Billit Main caps correct??
Main Studs from ARP ready yet??? Anyone know the prices on them???

Kyle

 

Yes they are all spoken for but we have more on the way.

They come with billet main caps. I believe standard LS1 main studs would work.

 

What about the Head Studs?? ARP Making them yet??
You guys match the Price SDPC has??

 

i think i know a guy getting one from you real soon

 

Any write ups or information on a full build yet?

Anyone have one together and running yet ?

I know the current aftermarket heads don't have the extra bolt holes,
but can you drill em out and make the holes?
You can run without using the extra bolt holes right?

Do all the other LS1 parts bolt up easily ?

 

i think right now robbin is the only one that i know of with a running lsx
but i know they just shipped andpeople will have them going together real soon.
like as soon as Dimond can get me some pistions
