Topic: LSX crate engine availible with carb!!

[evilways]

Don't know if you guys have heard, but GM Performance Parts is developing a new "LSX" block capable of supporting over 1,000 HP and can be fuel injected or carb'd. It features all the good stuff thats been going into GM's LS blocks, so the after market will support it to death. I know most of you guys are purists, but since GM hates us and won't make a new TA to dust that new Camaro, this may be the way to go to be able to hang and still get 20mpg. Just wanted to let ya know, been reading a bunch of stuff about the new engines lately....man it seems we're in the middle of a new horsepower war.Too bad the imports are joining in as well.....a few new 350HP+ rides from over seas will hit in the next two years.

But we have the torque! :twisted:

I would love to put an LS block into a 2nd gen. Upgraded suspension and interior to match with an incredible paint job.    I've seen pictures of a few and they look awesome.

the import cars may have some decent power, but thats because they sacrifice any sort of interior for it. at least us 2nd gen guys have a back seat AND trunk.... never mind the fact they are small, at least they still exist. plus the fact that those high power import cars usually look STUPID and are ungodly expensive.

Here's a cool article about the LSX block being used in a Nova...

Man....the rear seats a joke....I'm seriously considering removing the back seats and fitting storage compartments on the floor like a Corvette uses, then just trimming the rest of the back out neatly with carpet....great place to toss a bag or jacket etc. That'll keep the trunk for a full size spare and some tools.
