Unless I read things wrong, TxSpeed has a forged long block LS3 with ported heads for around $8K. All new parts. New block, new ported heads, and your choice of custom cam. Your choice of compression ratio. You don't get a forged crank, but that isn't an issue at Maggie hp levels. If you think a forged crank is necessary, it's available for a few more bucks.
I know I'm a bit of an internet racer  , but my TxSpeed long block will show up next week. It's an iron block, but it's also going in a truck. Maggie blown of course  |
I wouldnt be so quick to discount a crank.I have one of those LSX crate motors and a maggie,3000 miles and the crank broke
