LS short box · 12-23-2016, 12:20 PM

I did LS2 re-sleeved and stroked to 427 cubes. Small cam and L92 heads. It did 480 hp at the wheels on the chassis dyno. That's about 550 hp at the crank. 4L6E trans. Ran great. It was in a 67 Nova. 20 mpg plus on the highway. I wouldn't build anything else.

LS motors come stock with roller rockers, roller lifters, aluminum heads, some have aluminum blocks. All seals are O-rings, No coolant thru the intake. Single serpentine accessory belt. What's not to like?

Just my .02. Everyone should build what they like.
