However, looking at the LSX prices, I originally had thought there was only 1 LSX motor and it was only a little bit better in numbers and for 10 grand, but I was wrong. There is the LSX376 and LSX454. About 5-6 grand for the 376 and 9-10 for the 454. The performance numbers of the 454, I have no problem paying 10 grand for it. The ZL1 is cool and all, but the bath I would have to take to upgrade to it, I could spend that on my SS and make it better in performance.

So what I am looking to first find out is what is the main differences between the LSX motors and which would be a better swap for me. I like the power numbers from the 454 and I would twin turbo it at some point but not right away. The 376 isn't enough power so I'm not really sure if it is worth it, or at least not right now.

Now that I think about it, what about spending 5 grand on building out my LS3?
How much power do you want? We can rebuild what you have and deliver 540 rwhp and 520 rwtq with a 427 and small to medium sized cam or we can go bigger and make more power. Crate engines are under powered and wont use the same quality of internal component that we will use.
