From what ive heard from several of the bigshot ls engine builders (Kurt Urban for example), the splayed main caps of the ls next is much stronger than the ls six bolt skirted block design. The main reason the factory uses the six bolt design is that it keeps the engine quieter. Everything ive read about this block is all positives, except maybe the price.
