Too bad GM doesn't put it in a car off the showroom floor.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt the cast iron modular block strong as hell too? I've been told they'll hold up to 2000hp - idk.
I've seen the ford GT make 1500-1700 and hold. Those are cast?

And why would GM put a race block on a showroom car? You remember Ford put blocks in mustangs for years that tear themselves apart at 500hp.

Oh and, why not throw a lsx in a zr1 or zo6? That would be cool, nothing wrong with a factory race engine..

I'm looking at a couple Novas, 68-72. My ls3 made 800 friendly rwhp and was a blast to drive. Making the same amount of power and throw in the mix of early iron and I'm a happy camper.
I want a grand sport, just not there yet. I want a cruiser for now....Doing enough racing for 99% of the board!
