6.0 Iron blocks are a pretty good way to go. They are about 70 lbs heavier then the aluminum stocker but these are f-bodies we are talking about here, they weigh 3800 lbs to begin with. Iron blocks have a bigger bore allowing for a 4xx stroker, grreat way to go for some extra torque and power. IMO there is a lot more potential in a 6.0 iron block then there is a stock ls1 aluminum. Now if you are talking LS2 aluminum thats a different story, but they are typically a decent amount more expensive.

I would go with the 6.0L.

Again, you are still being a smart as* by trying to educate someone...
. The point is that we all know what he meant! Just becuase you are an engineer student or whatever doesn't mean we have to go by your words. Also..."A little bit of effort and research "... is not necessary, again we all know what he was talking about... What part don't you understand? If you really didn't want to be a dick you wouldn't of tried to correct him in the first place. I'm done with this..... you can try and explain yourself all you want, WE all knew what he was talking about you just wanted to be a smart as*.
Oh, So to the o.p.. have you decided which way you are gonna go? Good 
iron is iron and steel is steel period. There is absolutely no reason to get them mixed up. I would be happy to give you links to prove this. Now I'm a smart *** for trying to educate someone? You kidding me. This forum's entire foundation is education about gm vehicles with lsx engines. So in a way you just called all of us smart asses for correcting a stupid mistake that if you shut up in the first place, we would not have had this ridiculous argument
