Prices for long blocks of the above?

0C_Williams@RPM

Phil,

I need to know a little bit more about the project to help select the proper cam and head package. However, since we CNC our own product and even have a few proprietary castings, I doubt many can compete with our overall package pricing.

PM me with specifics and I'll quote here as well as privately.

Charlie

What about forged in some of the bigger sizes?

0C_Williams@RPM

The top box lists all 4" stroke combination with LS1/LS2/LS3 blocks...for anything using an LS7 block or the RHS Block, please call. We build up to 510 cubic inches with the RHS block.

Oh man.....why couldn't you do this last month.........

0C_Williams@RPM

sorry - but this will probably be good through the first quarter of 2010

I lunched my #7 piston and ordered a sb from Andy. I could have saved some $$ and bought more go fast goodies.......

You can upgrade to our LS3, CNC head package (check our website for pricing) and put yourself into either a 427 cubic inch or a 416 cubic inch, LS3 headed package for as little as $6,100 outright using our cores.

We have 6 each, LS3 and LS7 blocks incoming, available for build and over 10 sets of LS3 bare castings.

427 long block for $6100. Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Hey Charlie,

What kind of results are you seeing with the the 4.125 bore LS3 headed 427's?

Kevin

big hoss 98C5

So what if I have a ls1 but want a 427 ls3-Vern

0C_Williams@RPM

They are within 3-6% of the LS7's.

0C_Williams@RPM

Well, not really - you have to add the cam,timing set, oil pump, front & rear covers, rockers, pushrods, lifters, valve covers, valley cover, etc to make a legit "long block"...but still, it's a great price.

0C_Williams@RPM

The 6100 covers the big cores - you get a LS7 block, forged 4" stroke crank, rods, pistons - completely blueprinted and assembled with complete CNC ls3 heads.

You can use the oil pan & pickup and the rear cover from your LS1 - you still need cam, lifters, chain & gears, oil pump, front cover, pushrods, rocker arms, valve covers, valley cover, head bolts, head gaskets, intake manifold & TB - and associated harness extenders/cable swaps to upgrade from early to late model sensors -call or email me with any questions.

I dont fully understand everything stated. Are the prices for a new block or if i turn in my current block and have a build done? Secondly Does it come with heads and intake, or is it just a block with rotating assembly? thank you

Blorton

Great prices! What kind of practical rpm limit are we talking about for the stock displacement LS1 version? Would it be possible to have you guys prefit the ls6 valley changes?

Man, this looks like a great option to replace my tired factory engine with.

STL94LT1

WOW, some great deals!!

0C_Williams@RPM

Call me and I'll go through it with you.

0C_Williams@RPM

The RPM limit is cam/head driven but in general, 6800 RPM is the limt where most strong street/track engines live. No problems on the LS6 valley cover mod.


I think so, too!
