Default Source for decoding LS series of motors

Has anyone put out a list for decoding all the LS motors that out there. Kind of like the old MORTEC site for the SBC and BBC.

If this has not happen, that would be a great source for people to study and get to know.

Breaking down the engine. The SBC and BBC engine had codes called the suffix code or casting numbers to decode the engine. Would tell you stuff like what car or truck it was in and etc., there was a couple of locations on the engine called casting numbers or suffix codes.

Like this.

Browse - Casting Numbers .info: engine blocks, heads, and more

However, there is not enough stuff there. They are leaving out alot engine combos.

This site has been valuable to alot of people through the years.

Mortec - Chevy Small-Block Casting Numbers, Engine Codes and more

What Im asking is when is someone going to put together a site for the LS motors like the mortec site does.

Seems I keep seeing alot of people ask questions and seek information on these engines and nobody and upgrading things to help out people get what they need.

It also seems that the newer engines dont provide you the opportunity to get what you off there blocks and things like the older SBC and BBC blocks do.

I have seen the block casting site before.

That summit one does not work.

That article is just that...just a article.

Again, what I was asking about is kind of what the block casting site does. Some a little more than that. More of a reference spreadsheet type of look that covers more of the LS stuff than that does. I briefly looked over that and that does not look to include all the LS stuff.

Thanks
