LsX build
Wanting to get a new bottom end underway to handle even more power...
Am wanting to pull the trigger on a LsX block Part number 19260095.. This shows it to be a complete finished block. Says fully machined, bored, honed.. (4.065 bore) Thoughts are to do a fully forged 3.622" (376) or 4.00" stroke (416ci) rotating assembly in this block.. Any one have experience with these lsx's?? Any thing you have to do to it before you can start assembling? Any extra parts you have to purchase? Cam bearings, covers? Will be swapping over the ls3 goodies on to it.. Thanks guys. |
Buy it bare and the. Have a machine shop do all the work on it. Everything needs to be balanced before assembly too. What internals?
|
This part number is the block they use for the 376 (4.065) crate motor, shows that it's 100% finished!! Which would be sweet. The non finished blocks are the same price. Which would make no sense if I wanted a 4.065 bore anyways.. That's what caught my eye, no machine work!! Start bolting things up! Just going to see if anyone had any more knowledge about this "finished" block.. Don't want to spend 2,500 on a block and then it shows up and have to do a bunch of work on a "finished" block. Lol

I'd just buy a built shortblock from TSP.

Again, what internals are you using? Stuff you have or need to buy? |
Will buy all new internals for build.
|
Not trying to offend you here, but have you done this before? Just checking so I can give you the right advice without overwhelming you with information.

LsX block I believe is a lot higher
|
You keeping the LS3 heads? And what kind of power adder?
|
Yes ls3 heads with ecs kit
|
No need for an LSX then, only needed after 1k wheel.
|
And cheaping out on skipping a little machine work that will probably still be needed when building a $6k+ short block isn't the best idea. All the machining will have to be checked and cleaned up anyways.
