Very impressive build sheet. So why the RHS block and not a LS7/2 block?

Thank you!

Normally for this level of build, we would, but the customer specified he wanted an RHS block and 6-Bolt heads.

Fully assembled oil pan to intake would be roughly $20,000

Thank you,

How much HP and torque does that baby produce? Very decent price from looking around.

I'm not sure. He's not using a very aggressive camshaft. Specs are 235/242 .603/.618 114 LSA.

We have several C6Z N/A stock bottom end head/cam, bolt-on builds that make 600-630 RWHP with our stage 3 camshaft, but it's more aggressive than he wants in this car.

Thank you,

Rick

Nice to see a N/A Chevy engine, that will be used as a grocery getter produce close to 600HP and still be user friendly!
