Default New LSx Block from World Products!

I just read about this in Racecar Engineering.

They have improved the LSx block! It has better oiling, capable of dealing with up to 454 CI and the capacity to add extra head bolts for forced induction.

The real trick - It has motor mount bosses cast into it so it will fit where a standard SBC used to.

No word on cost, but you can be sure it ain't gonna be cheap.

Link to Press Release.

Just thought I would let you all know...

Default Maybe Bigger Thans 454

I have read in several places that 481 or 482 cubic inches are possible with one of the new blocks.
