Default LSx engine forum members...

i've checked a couple of the common LS engine forums but haven't found what i am looking for. maybe you can help.
i'd like to know what different bore/stroke/rod length/rod journal and main journal specs there are for the gen 3 engine family. if you know or can link to a page, i'd appreciate it.
TIA

thanks brent, that second one is the link i was looking for. looks like what i want for my little project is pretty much a stock 4.8L.
one thing that did catch my attention was the mention that all the manifolds interchange but the truck manifolds were about 3 to 4" taller than that used in the f-body and vette. i wonder if it breaths any better? high rise hood anyone?

No problem, man. I'm sure someone else can tell us for sure, but from what I have read, the truck manifold flows better at low RPM compared to the LS1 Manifold, but it runs out of breath at higher RPMs.

i'm going to have to pull the cover off my 5.4L '06 GMC and take a look and see how different they really are. maybe smaller runners but it sure seems **** backwards from "old school" logic.
