naw no limited room, the outside of the engine are the same deminsions (sp?) just the insides are different. 4.8s, 5.3s, ls1's, ls2's, 6.0's all fit the same

 

+1, might sound dumb but here is a way to think of it...

Think of 3 identical plastic cups
one 4.8,
one 5.3,
one 6.0.
One 1/4 way full (4.8), one 5.3(halfway full), one 6.0 (nearly full)...all look the same on the outside, but more volume is used up on the inside. (more displacement aka cubic inches)

 

i think thats a good way of describing it actually


congrats DryKill, now get to that track and get some times

 

That actually makes sense.Never thought of that.I figured the outer demensions had to be a little larger so the added room inside didn't make the walls too thin.Hard to tell I don't know much about motors.

 

damn nice kill charles... already beatin up on the Lightnings...

by the way I though you had a aftermarket stall in there before?

 

4.8 and 5.3 are same block and same bore just different stroke. the 6.0 is a different block and larger bore

 

ya i did, but when i blew the trans there was like a 50 50 chance that it could have broke and i didnt want to take the chance. im just gunna buy a new one, either a 3600 of a 4k, not too sure yet
