A standard LS1 torque plate will suffice, correct?

A proper plate would use all the fasteners in the plate during honing just like the assembled engine, so a specific torque plate for these blocks would be made in a perfect world.

Does anybody know if these blocks have provisions for SBC mounts like the Warhawk block.

yeah ive read thru that thread and am very impressed, but way way way way way way out of my budget.

Since i was going to use the L92 block, im thinking about spending the extra 500 bucks and getting the LSx block and building a 454 cube motor for not much more than the 433 will take. The strap on a big ole hair dryer pumping 15-20#'s of boost.
