This is way to broad but the limit is your imangation and wallet.

Sticking with the LSX based motor or not we need to know.

thats a sweet block... but i was thinkin more like hte 6L iron block like you stated...i would need to buy the block but how much from my ls1 motor could transfer over to the block (like valve train) and i could be totaly wrong here but someone said you could modify the stock crank to work in a 6l to get a 408. or do i need to compleatly but a whole new rotating assembly

We build them, depending on the block you want to use you can go up to 428 c.i. with a sleeve kit and a aluminum LS1 block. If you'd like to go over some options give me a call.512-257-0222 ask for Harold.

You could fit a 632ci BBC it will fit, but you will have to get a different tranny, rear end, modify the engine bay etc.

I read in the most recent GMHTP that World Products has a 454cid LSX based engine block.
