The thing to me is the LSx is produced in the US with a population of 300m people. There are so many people developing heads, cams, induction etc etc. I just can’t see how an Aussie product will ever compete especially on price HP for HP, it just comes down to market size. If I was making that block I would be seeing if it’s feasible for it to take LS heads. That would open up a world of options. Good discussion btw.

Cant be developing a holden based block and then tell them, ” hey you gotta run some 241 heads”

Nothing wrong the Holden heads. Believe it or not there are certain blokes that can push a genuine 700Hp + through the cast heads.

Stalled auto will be the best move u ever make. Slap a glide in it and never look back.

That’s a big call, but they said the same thing between big paw and SBC back in the day. Look how that turned out for them.

 

So I’m told. Time will tell. It’s certainly looks the goods and offers everything an LSx block offer bar LSx is 6bolt mains (4 top, 2side)  the TP is still traditional 4 bolt

Couldn’t be more off the mark mate.

You must of brought a dud that just looked shiney on the out side….

Absoutly nothing wrong with a car from VN-VZ with over 100k on the clock that’s been looked after.

Got ot a VR with nearly 170km and a VZ with 185km. Non are remotely showing any signs of what you stated.

Ahh yeah you did mention that. That’s a bit more clearer.

 

Been looking at generic w2a coolers. Some cheap ones going around. Wonder if there is any science behind them

Which plastic mounts are you talking about sorry?

Also what’s the need for the plastic header tank ontop of the water pump.

1. Stop trying to compete with something your not

2. Stop trying to please others.

3. Private school over priced junk.

Build the engine right and it won’t need it. Unless it’s a situation like lj where the sump integrity was compramiaed
