Lsx Block Now Available
#11
Any truth that the new vette SS (Blue devil bitch ray or whatever its called) is now going to have these blocks instead of the LS7 block? Something about the 427 not holding up to the boost the supercharger was macking due to insufficient wall cyl wall thickness.....

The newest All Pro LSW head castings are supposed to accept the LSX bolt pattern and the Warhawk pattern. The heads will look something like this.

This head was a prototype we machined last year in preparation for the new blocks (note no rocker bolt holes yet). These heads should be available by next month. They'll certainly have the airflow capacity. You can check out some of the specs here.

have they been benched yet??? what kind of numbers do they flow??
and being that they couold be for a truck.... are the ports small enough that it still has a good enough port velocity to keep cylinders filled at low rpm so we have the bitchen torque we love.
also what max valve size can be installed? how much spring can you run on it before you ight pull a stud?? (how strong are they?)
if i am to possibly build an LSX these look very very interesting.
sorry for all of the questions..... just really interested.
also do you have any pics of the combustion chambers... and maybe a view close up of the intake and exhaust ports?
also are these going to be offered in more than one combustion chamber size?
