Re: LSX IROC on hold

Yea, to gte my big block together faster, due to lack of funds, iam going to have to use oval port heads and a damn flat tappet cam shaft, sucks so badly since i am going ot be stepping back from 600+ HP down to 550 or so. SUCKS.

I would do a cheap *** 5.3 or 6.0 for sure if i had a damn T56 for a LS1, but i have a LT1 T56, so it is not going to happen. THose things are just so cheap now.

You can interchange the bellhousing (i think) but the input shaft would need to be swapped.

one of my stock 317's were cracked because the yard i got the pullout engine from dropped it off the fork lift when loading it... landed on the manifold and cracked all the way down the head. so i had to buy a set of 317's just to get the engine together and possibly runable

Re: LSX IROC on hold

Is that one of the new GMPP LSX blocks!?!? It's even more beautiful than I imagined...
EDIT: It's a 376, right?

Yes it is, that's the same thing I said when it arrived! I still can't decide whether to go 440cid or 454cid. But I think I'm leaning more toward 440, that way I don't have to go over a 4 inch stroke. They say for street use its not good to go over 4inches of stroke.

Oh. That makes sense. I'm going to do an LS1 swap once I have enough money to do anything at all. Lol.

Re: LSX IROC on hold

Personally a 427 has a nice ring to it. Nothing like spinning a big block to 7K
