You should see the looks i get when ppl who know i play Football find out im getting a degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry...its hilarious


Anyways, back on topic, from what i thought, all the LS series blocks share the same basic design, but they use different castings, like the ls7 and ls9 have more internal bracing and strengthening then the others, and since you just cant add metal to brace up a cast block, the casting must be different from the get go. Bust as for the basic dimensions and specs, tolerances and such i think they are all quite similar, which is why there is such a great compatibility in parts between the engines.

thank you JESUS!!1! there is hope for the world after all... you are correct, sir, and thank you for restoring my faith that some people really do know how things are made and work.

he did say same casting design ...thats what i said

im taking a double major - minor in... math, physics, math for commerce in faculty of science and engineering, faculty of schluch math, YORK university

So we were all thinking the same thing, but saying it the wrong way. Moving on

so you can make w.e power you want

OK OK OK OK....lets just put this one to bed ok?, not that any of this discussion is going to get us our camaro faster, or is actually going to change anything. Its not worth gettin riled up over. Besides, why talk about little quibbles when we can talk about what year are you in, and what courses you take at the EXACT same university that i am attending??? Small world eh?, im Majoring Pharmaceutical chemistry

by Ontarioian (?) Students

I'm in 4th year engineering (mechanical, mechatronics option) out in Oshawa at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (why did the chose such a long name ). Anyway, thats only 45 min away from York U. Best thing about the school is that the engineering program is sponsored in part by GM. Next best thing is that in a few months I will actually be out working.

I believe the correct name is the Schulich School of Business.

I have no problems with nerds; they are, after all, the ones that help engineer the new Camaro, so I say that in an endearing way
