LS-x BLocks have arrived

[Animal]

Sam is pleased to announce his first order of the LS-x blocks are in the workshop with more to come.

We curently have 3 in stock - one is still in its crate :)

These are pretty rare to find at the moment and will allow the owmer a wide range of options to build a high performance engine.

Great news. Can't wait to see the results!! :)
So what sort of $ are we looking at for a complete motor with similar specs to your stage 3 stroker but with around 480ci?

[KPWISHN]

So what do you think of the blocks after seeing them in the flesh?:)

[vxcalais]

how much for a complete 454 ci n/a engine ?
where do i sign ?

[`redoctober]

That is strangely erotic.

[VYSSion]

I could SERIOUSLY be talked into buying something like that... :eek::evil::headbang::drool:

[choppo]

Ken, can you get them in blue?

[Animal]

So what do you think of the blocks after seeing them in the flesh?:)

They are extremely well designed, and built for some top end performance. Sam has some serious ideas on what he would do with them, I just need to find a nice nubine 25 year old cheerleader :p

[Haroc]

Any color you want.

Blocks looks very nice :)

[Animal]

Would that be with the $2000 pistons, the $4000 pistons or the $8000 ones ?
To get true value from these blocks you would not be building anything less than 454cubes.


That is strangely erotic.

I have some more pics if you need them, maybey some ky jelly too :P

[Sonny@Autowerks]

They are a great thing ken,our ones turned up last week :),great looking block !!!

After spending the week with your beast Steve, I think Sam is turning blue :rofl:

Thanks for the colour choices Haroc

[KPWISHN]

Is that because of the weight of them.

I cant believe you didnt post them up last week. I know you have been busy, but I would have thought that since you have had time to post other stuff, I would have thought you would have found time to put up a pic for us all to have a look at considering the fact these are the latest greatest thing everyone has been waiting for.

Is one for your car and one for Steve?

[choppo]

Any color you want.
Blocks looks very nice :)
As Bert said... "i like the boy.......". Haven't seen a Moderator get onto chosing colours on a block so quickly in years!

[Animal]

Is that because of the weight of them.

Iron blocks are heavy suckers, that and the $$ you would use for the quality components to make the purchase of this kind of block worthwhile.

I learnt a heap more about these blocks by reading the data and the Chev coloured info brochures, thats why I took the time and posted them all up.


As Bert said... "i like the boy.......".

Are you sure it wasn't foghorn leghorn Steve :eyes:

How did you go with Sam's adapter ? fitted it up yet ?

[choppo]

Sam's adaptor slid in nicely.... always does:confused:. Ill have to talk to the wife about that.

[HOWQUICK]

Does that happen to have a V7 hanging off the side aswell.:)

got some big Vortec on it. Makes over 1000rwhp easily without dyno tricks.

Running at the Autosalon show today but the Mainline dyno is having all sorts of dramas holding onto it. Think it went just over 1000rwhp at the show but the retarder can't cope with the load.

I don't see how 454" is reliable on the 9.24 deck that everyone is building/talking concidering the bore spacing is the same as GenI small block. Spose time will tell. The engine in the photo is 427".

the heads are readily available and I have sold 4 pairs so far and know Sam has some coming soon.

yeah, sorry, l would prefer 427 anyways for that little bit extra rev-ability :D
Hopefully by the time l get one there wil be a few who have tinkered with them and have a bit of a history to guage their reliability and any issues. Is there anywhere l can get more info about this block ie manufacturer, designer, US track record as well as info on LSX heads??

Howquick,

I was using a single retarder rear bed at this Autosalon event, and a single retarder on our system is good for just on 1600Nm of Roller Torque. When I dyno'd this car on Saturday, I'd done a few of Mark's other cars just previous and I stopped the run at about 6700RPM, yes the retarder was warm and I couldn't quite show the true capability of the car.
Today I did it straight after lunch with a dead cold Retarder and the car made 1001.5RWHP. If you look at the accompanying Graph, you can see the Torque falling over so that's all it's got at the moment on one of our dyno's, the peak torque was 1587.4Nm of Roller Torque, so I had about 13Nm up my sleeve.
You might ask Mark to show you the Graph from his DD Twin Retarder and compare the curves, you won't see an ugly control system oop-de-do on our Graph, only just what you'd expect a Supercharged Engine of this nature to do.

my simple comment was the dyno had trouble with the retarder. It wasn't a dyno-v-dyno sledge so relax.

An I backed it up saying the DD had the same issues :)

Chassis dyno is not really ideal at this sort of power level.

[OUTAtheBloo]

That block looks awesome ! It must be great for the very few who can afford to buy and build one of these suckers. You would have to budget for 40k minimum surely ?

The rest of us will have to be content with dreaming, and hopefully getting to hear these things. I look forward to seeing the results hopefully shared on the forum in the future :D

I'd be thinking around the 40k mark... Kostekci can do a 454 drive in drive out for 30ISH, but as was noted above, these appear to be a better stronger build.
Cmon credit card increase...

You can buy complete LSX 454's from the US for $13-$14k USD with LS7 ETP heads and lots of good gear inside such as Callies, ARP etc, balanced and blueprinted. Around $20k AUD landed after freight and import duty. I'd say budget at least $25k for a build here, but at least you get local warranty.

Dan

this 40k figure pops up a lot lately. The motors aren't near that but the rest of the stuff to make it run reliably take it over that.

Some can, some can't. I'd like to live at Mindarie with my boat at the private jetty and go cray fishing every morning. Reality, I come to work and live in the 'burbs.

[OUTAtheBloo]

I guess thats what i meant by the 40k figure, everything to do it properly. Would give a great result without a doubt :)

Whats the extra bracketry in front of the blower ?

Extra idlers just ? or does it link up for extra blower bracing ?

Any details about how fast the blower is spinning, or camshaft used in this engine ?

Seems to make a lot of power at high revs ( ie 7k+ )

Seems to make a lot of power at high revs ( ie 7k+ )

Bracing and idler support so the system doesnt need a crank brace ( wouldnt fit and still allow fans etc) , havent even started to expore the power after 6000rpm yet as we havent been able to get a dyno to hold it properly yet , should make power well into the 7000+ rpm zone , we also exceeded the airflow of the blower so boost is dropping from 6000rpm as well.

I have one log when we made 1017hp where the boost pushed my foot off the accelerator so we only saw 55% throttle at the end :)

[RED R8]

That is just insane ,1017hp yet it looks tame.I often think back 10 years what it would take to make 1000hp drivable yet nowadays its very possible and very drivable (I know its in the good hands of the tune king) but its just incredible how far the performance scene has evolved the only hurdle we come acorss is how deep are your pockets .

A lot of it has to do with the selection of the components used. I have no doubt that Howquick ( John ) spent a fair amount of time doing his homework with regards to the parts that were used and the outcome he was looking for.

Add to this a quality tune and what we see here is a fantastic result.

And we can now all see Delco's woody from the east coast :p

And we can now all see Delco's woody from the east coast :p

Basically the engine is an evolution of the stuff we have been building for near 7 years in LS just with a new design block and cylinder heads. Same principles applied to the build with regards to part quality that get built here everyday. The engine really isn't much different to what Dan ran 10.2@139mph with 4 years ago.

The labour in an engine build is really a very low percentage of the whole package. The parts applied to the build are what adds it up.

[stevieturbo]

John, Any details on cam spec, or how fast the blower is spinning ??

[XR4TED]

I may have missed it, but what is the cubic capacity of this engine?

[HOWQUICK]

John, Any details on cam spec, or how fast the blower is spinning ??

Stevie, without being rude....do you really think Iam going to post that? I saw you ask the first time. It isn't secret as the customer knows as he paid the bill. It is a lot smaller than what many would concider required.

THe engine makes its power on 18lb boost. So plenty more to come when we want to boost it up.

[KPWISHN]

Well done John. You've set the bench mark for these LSX engines.:bow:

Now let's see what Sam can do.:D Look forward to more big results.

Hi Todd, seems DD dyno shows approx. 300Nm more than Mainline or I'm wrong? Any comments on that difference?

Hi Ivo,

The Motive Force on our system shows 3283lbs. If different gearing was used between the 2 tests, this could be a reason, but I'm not aware of this.
FYI, the 3283lbs comes from 1584.7NM/0.1085 (Roller Radius) gives us 14605newtons. Newtons to Pounds Force is times 0.2248089.
I don't have an answer for the difference, but I can prove our numbers.

[turboivo]

Hi Todd, I know your work and your product quality and I don't have any doubts about your dyno readings. Thats it, period! I was just curious from technical point of view, not from competitor's. Thanks for the answer and wish you all the best! Regards from Bulgaria.

[VYSHSV8]

You might find the difference is in the heat that might have been generated when the tuning was going on as the retarder would have been quite hot after sveral tuning runs, which means if I am correct that it might give a slightly higher reading than a fresh cold dyno....but still its a massive effort..on either dyno...

The opposite would be true.

[Delco]

Was tuned on a proper twin retarder dyno so heat was never as issue :) also all tuning stuff is done spaced apart a lot while data is analysed so the dyno never showed any signs of getting warm.

Traction was the only issue :0

Was tuned on a proper twin retarder dyno so heat was never as issue :) also all tuning stuff is done spaced apart a lot while data is analysed so the dyno never showed any signs of getting warm.

Traction was the only issue :0

Cool thanks Dan just trying a bit more to understand these dyno's and the way they work....

Stevie, without being rude....do you really think Iam going to post that? I saw you ask the first time. It isn't secret as the customer knows as he paid the bill. It is a lot smaller than what many would concider required.

THe engine makes its power on 18lb boost. So plenty more to come when we want to boost it up.


You arent being rude at all...but it cant hurt to ask ;)

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but what are these LSx blocks (either variant, the tall deck or the small) capable of cubic inch wise? As an absolute maximum, ive read 511, but anymore than that?

Cheers

WHEN will the tall deck version be available in oz

WHEN will the tall deck version be available in oz

Estimated arrival for tall deck versions appears to be feb~march 2008, I tend to take these dates with the usual grain of salt. Until I actually can touch one in the workshop then use the guesstimate as a guide only.

The good news is that 3 of our LS-X blocks have sold so far, the most recent order being for a 427ci version :eyes:

I will post some info when we start the build

I spoke with eagle a few weeks ago they told me June/July 08 and the tall deck will be good for 572ci @ the princly sum of about $4-4.5K AUD. Sounds to good to be true.

I have been reading some cam related threads but am a bit confused so can you straighten me out
1/say a 210/210 cam in a 5.7 is OK would you use the same profile in a big stroker or is it a new ball game with the extra cubes ?
