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.

Tall!!!
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.

Tall!
+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.
