Default gmpp lsx 376

ok I am recently in need of a motor for my car. This 376 looks pretty decent for a complete boost ready motor. stab it with intake and oil pan and roll on. But befor I pull the trigger do yall know if there is any builders that can build anything better and as complete as this one for this price? around $5500. Thanks guys

Depends on what you're rebuilding and what's left that's usable.

I wondered how the powdered metal connecting rods in that engine would hold up. Sounds like TrenA has been beating the hell out of it. Must be good stuff

He sold the car shortly after completion to a guy in the pacific NW...also should make note that on another dyno besides where he had it built, it put down a hair over 700 RWHP. Not knocking or blaming anyone, but almost a 200 HP difference is a lot when comparing the integrity and longevity of a motor.........

Yes. It is an iron LSX block. The LSX 376 has powdered metal rods, forged pistons, and a lower compression ratio (around 9.0:1 I believe) than the LS3 counterpart.

I would build a motor....the LSx376 is a good option if you need a motor NOW, but it is far from a perfect motor for boost. The powdered metal rods and weak rod bolts are a limiting factor, IMO.

I would rather spend my $5k on parts I picked out.

Also, look up Mr.Big's build. Built by Dallas performance, probably one of the simplest yet most effective builds I've seen!
