Adding an 8.1L section?
Adding an 8.1L section? How about a Gen VII Big block section? I've seen plenty of guys modifying them. would be interesting to see what the big boys can do with some knowledge behind them.
I second this. I have a dually w/ this engine in it, a 2001, and it has hauled race car trailers its whole life, currently has 150k on it and I finally changed plugs a few thousand miles ago. Workhorse for sure

Verdad Gallardo The reason I asked on here and not perf trucks, is it seems like an often asked about swap with the conversion guys. Not as much on ls1tech as some of the other forums I have seen, but if there was a section we might see more discussion about that platform. Its hard to argue with a 1200hp production engine.
The question wasn't "can we add a truck section?" It was "can we have a Gen VII big block section?" - hence my smartass response. Sorry for hijacking my own thread.

i second the whole 8.1L idea.
Anytime anybody bothers to ask any question in regards to the 8.1L the first immediate response is GO LS OR LSX, maybe some ppl want to be different & unconventional. & if enough ppl did it it might create a market for new parts.

Just out of curiosity, and with the assumption that so far discussion about this platform has taken place in the BBC forum, how many threads have you seen in the last month about them? Few months?
Whenever you divide forums, by definition you are also dividing views, so that's something to consider. The trade-off has the possibility of brining less, not more, attention to the platform. If you've only seen a few threads about them in the past month or so, then its possible the forum would be DOA.
