Aluminum LSX Block Poll
It's amazing that i can build a 2500 hp sbc using a Brodix aluminum block,off the shelf Lunati pro series crank and off the shelf Lunati billet rods-put over 200 passes on it with no bearing problems but i cant get 20 passes on an LSX block making 1800hp using the same components-can you explain why i need a center counterweight billet crank,aluminum rods and a bunch of custom stuff to do the same with the LSX block?
Buy Warhawk or C5R next time.

The one that I want to see is the large port version. I hear the numbers are 20 to 30 higher than the heads that I have now.
I hope they are close as I would like to use my current intake manfold when the new heads become available.

LOL, nice try while I am not sure who's that is it' not like any LSX that I have seen.
Oil galleys are not in the same spot as the iron block. Also the LSX block has more bolt bosses for a motor plate that the block in the picture is missing.
Also the LS-X is not the same as the trade marked LSX logo.
I don't remember the oil galleys on the RHS/Comp block.

It's a production block of some kind.
It doesn't have any of the extra bolt holes in the front or back of the block.
Oil galleys are wrong also.
Nice try......

That is not our block. Someone is playing with you. Notice the lame attempt to cover up the casting number under the GM Logo.

I noticed a few of those things. I was simply referring to my desire to have an aluminum LSx block that will hopefully be priced close to the iron version.

Robin, I would do at least 5.800 long sleeves in it so more stroke and better pistons can be used even on the normal deck height version. I know the Sunnen hones have no issue at all honing a bore like that in an LSx style block with the right machining and honing overtravel built in as we do it everyday.
If you did a tall deck then the raised cam would be nice as well as making sure the oil galley won't get hit by the stroke ala RHS.
