All I'm saying is that with the added price of the block, which won't be cheap, you should have just run the LSX. The GM LSX cast iron block is stronger then 99% of public will ever need. And is really cheap for what the market charges. Small blocks can handle tons of power with a 4 bolt main, but 6 is better. We run 40 lbs of boost in the outlaw car I run, and the SBC is fine, but the LSX is better. The 6 bolt heads only happen on some LSX blocks not all of them. Some of the inherent advantages of the LSX are in the block. Deck height, cam height over the crank, 6 bolt mains, avalibity of aluminum blocks, etc. I give the small block chevy 10 years or less and I bet chevy does not even make the crate engine any more.
I'm probably going to piss some people off but it is kind of like putting a carb on an LS engine, Why would you unless your scared of the technology.
Just my redneck .02 cents
