Aluminum LSX Block Poll
thats like a wife thats too hot...
tall deck....if you can afford an aluminum LSX, the intake and headers are the least of your worries.
if this happens, I will have a 500 cid N/A pump gas street car....
oh and I'm pretty sure "IF" this tall deck LSX happens, plenty of manf. will have intake and header opts.....just a hunch. You won't need custom anything, if the block comes, the trail of supporting components will always follow.

4.25" stroke cranks are everywhere now. If you're a cheap bastard, cut a second hand GMPP LS7 4 barrel intake in half and weld it back together for an intake.
Besides is this even worth discussing? GM already sells a big bore Al block with a standard deck height, it's called the LS7.

+1, it will just take some time.
Most companies don't even charge more for the larger stroke cranks. You should be able to get a 4.25 stroke crank for the same as a 4 inch.

I agree.. Although alot of guys will say they'd want it (bigger is always better right) I think in the end, they wouldnt want to pony up the extra cash on all the supporting mods to make it work.
I will definately order an aluminum version when its released.

How about a different angle to Robin's question. How much would you be willing to spend on an aluminum LSX standard deck block?

LIST price. You can always do better than list if you look around. Big wholesalers will always sell them a lot less. List price is the only common price you can put on a part, its up to the dealer as to what they want to actually sell it for.
