LS6 Stroker Project
I have just purchased 2 LS 6 blocks and began the building process. I am expecting anywhere from 600 - 750hp when completed, hopfully by spring. I am starting with a bare LS6 block, LS6 heads (Ported and polished), ASA racing cam, and that is just the beginning! I am going to reuse the TPIS long tubes I have on my LS1 now on the new motor.
When a stroker crank is installed do you need to machine any of the block?
The second block may be turned in to a 1000 hp MONSTER, OR be put in a friends 97 Z28.....Decisions..Decisions! :cheers: :cool:

Heh, 2 LS6 blocks? What's the plan for the second one? Are you going with a 4.000" or 4.125" crank? Besides the Lunati pieces Scat and Cola are coming out with cranks too.

I got the motor from a close friend at a Chevy dealer. He sold them for $1500 for BOTH. :eek: He owed me a MAJOR favor and that is how he paid me back.

You would need the R block to get to 454 ci.
4.125 bore 4.250 stroke :)

The Bore is the big thing, and that 4.125 bore is used in stock LS1's for 388 all bores and other super strokers.
Nick Agostino posted a week or so ago, that there are no further issues with current resleeving technology.

Re: LS6 Stroker Project (kewlbrz)
I know the resleeving is cool now, but I didn't think anyone was going to 4.125 bore with the factory block :confused:
