Default LSX Block owners - Need advice and info

Not sure if this is the right section but I want to use an LSX block for a nitrous motor, and I wanted to talk to someone that has used an LSX block and see if they can offer any advice/tips, things to avoid etc.

If this post should be in a different section let me know.
Thanks,

KP

Hey Garrett,
Some of the questions I have are:
-Does it come with cam bearings
-How much heavier is it than a 6.0L iron block (can't find solid answer)
-Is there any special equipment/fixtures a machine shop would need to have to machine one?
-Do most people keep the main bolts that come in it or upgrade to ARP studs?
-Does is use the same head studs and main studs as a LS2/3/etc block?
-When you buy the semi-finished block how much machining needs to be done to it? Deck, bore, line hone?

Thanks,
Reply
