Yeah, I have had a Dart aluminum SB chevy hanging around from some time and waiting for $10,000 of parts est'd at 700 HP with a real nice torque band. Not even as nice heads as those 12* though. Maybe space was at a premium with the LS7, don't know why they couldn't have made it a little bigger. Still, it's enough to handle as it is.

Place is a few minutes from my house.
I'll have to go check'em out. So if I built a 700 RWHP motor how long does the rest of the car last, if I don't kill myself beforehand. I thought someone had a 500 CI block coming?

LSX block was engineered to handle up to 2,500 horsepower
GM is still putting the old big blocks 502ci in their heavy duty trucks, I wonder if they're thinking of replacing them

embarassing to whom?
A lot of the exotic engine combos go like stink
for a few laps then they start having "issues"....I kind of like lapping the big cube cars personally.
But it sure does hurt when you exit a corner great and are pulling as hard as the car will go and a car goes by you like you are pulling a trailer...

I was on the Corvette racing wed site the day and noticed the comparisons between engines. http://www.corvetteracing.com/cars/c...ne_specs.shtml
The LS7.r block had a 4.180 bore and 4.180 stoke. That = 458.8 ci
with 590 BHP and 640 FT TQ.
I sent a PM to Jason at Katech to see what he says.
Edit: Jason said it was a typo. Stroke is 3.875.
