That is amazing idea, I could keep alot of my old parts and bolt it right in to everything i'm running now, I wonder what the price on this is.

You are correct, it is a new casting by World Products. Basically an SBC block that has the LS style head bolt pattern and cooling channels. Perfect for that SBC fanatic who just wants a much better selection of high-flowing cylinder heads.

That's true, but it also allows one to utilize lower cost reciprocating assemblies available for the SBC, standard bellhousings, front dress, motor mounts and all the other things you normally have to adapt when using a Gen III/IV motor in older cars.

This might work really well!

Another nail in the coffin for 23* heads.

What a cool idea, I wonder what the blocks will run?
