LSX 376 Six Bolt Crate Engine
I'm wanting to go for more power, I already have a built LS3 built for 900hp-1000hp but want a six bolt block. I already have a friend that wants to buy my motor from me and I found a great deal for my local dealer on the motor. How much hp do you think it would handle? I'd be using a stock ported LS3 intake manifold and upgrading to a YSI next month.
Has anyone used this motor or seen any make big power 1000+. Thanks

that way when you realize 800 rwhp isnt as fast as you thought and crank it up your motor is still good.

I doubt the 376 LSX crate engine has the correct rotating assembly to support over 1000hp, however I don't know what's equipped with so I could be wrong.

It doesn't. The rods aren't that great and pistons are not that good. That being said, I've seen 1000rwhp on a TT camaro that has been living a long happy life there. You can build a better motor for less money though, so no point in considering it IMO.

Agreed. It is a decent motor but you can do better with a good builder, especially if your build will be more at home with higher compression.

These motors are for the person with an old car doing a swap, or building a hot rod from scratch. Someone starting with nothing that just wants to drop something in. If you already have an LS powered car, I would never consider them.
