      We have more feedback from our ls modified engine running in Penn, they had a 42 car field at one of there big shows, our ls mod was 3 tenths faster than the field and his msd chip was bad and it was only allowing it to turn 7800 rpm. The customer says its the best driving, most managable hp he has ever driven, our power band is dead on and it is the cleanest engine he has ever had, with the new ls engine it seals so much better than the conventional small block. Everything we have used the new engine in has been dominate so far, lets talk over your plans for next year soon so we can get the ball rollin. We have 3 late model engines on order right now and at least two more mod engines. These engines are available in steel block or aluminim and we are a dealer for the most powerful ls cylinder heads and intakes in the country, these engines can be set up for coil over plug or coventional distributer with mechanical fuel pump and we have access to the only shorter version front end timing cover system which we help do the first r&d with for a company. Call us at 573-788-2329 at the shop and our cell line is 573-225-6886, we are the leaders in ls tech

          Let me know how that works out for you, we can build them cheaper than 17500.00 also and make power but we want them reliable also. We have a customer with a 1100 hp drag 6.0 with a stock crank and stock block but it wont live long like that and stock 317 heads with mild port work. The point is these engines are the future of motor sports and we are bring something to the table that most are not, you will never make a stock engine hold up to the dirt track abuse. I talk to people all over the country every day, I-80 speedway has been trying now for the last year now to run stock ls and they will not hold up, the pistons are your week point.

            Ls motor

            So while your here could I use a 6.0 with good bolts,pistons and l92 heads and have a reliable motor? What about the front pumps? Can I use what's stock or is placement out of wack. I am going ls for sure but I'm just getting all my ducks in a row to prevent costly mistakes. Thanks.

              Yes, you will need all that for sure, the crank and block will hold up ok and a L92 head will make ok power. You will want to use an aftermarket pump for more volume. What are you running on the front for ignition? Coil over or MSD Distributer.

                I didn't mean it to sound that way it did.....Just there are cheaper ways to build good power on a budget while makeing the jump to ls......Not knocking your engine program....Because if i could afford to go that route i would. sorry....

                  Ls motor

                  I think I'm going to run the coils with the add on ign box. Seems to be the cheapest route to start with and I dont think it's going to hold the motor back. What are the benefits to a dizzy?

                    I think that some sanctioning bodies will not allow coil pack ignitions and you have to run a distributor, so the option is available...No real advantage that I can think of....

                      No real bid power gain either way coil or dist, the coils you have to pre tune your timing curve were the dist you would use as normal, its cheaper to go with the coils if rules allow.

                        WE have updated the Engine side of our website with 4 different LS combo's, we have have started them at 8600.00 for a turn key engine minus the carb, everything you will need to drop it in and go, full conversion from old sbc to the new generation of speed with our LS engines. We are the leaders in LS technology with engines packages that have proven race designs and dyno sheets to back them up. We started with our stage 1 engine that would be good for any Hobby stock or pure street even b or e mod where rules allow, these are all distributer driven engines, they will bolt in the exact same location as your std sbc. Stage 2 engines get a little added to them with the addes of better rods and CNCed heads, these would be good for a beginner mod racer or a steel block late model guy. Stage 3 gets more serious with a lot of custom parts, high flowing CNCed heads, lighter internal parts and these engine will be for any of your Mod's that you are needing that power range from 650-700+. Stage 4 full competition LS engine have almost everything custom in them, everything Titanium in the valve train, light parts through the whole engine, high revving, high horsepower and torque, available in almost any cubic inch all the way to 502, gas or methanol, steel and aluminum block, dry or wet sump, so many differant combo's and making huge hp numbers.

                            I don't think that is possible. The only aluminum head allowed is the Spec Brodix head. I don't think they make a cast iron LS head. If they did it certainly wouldn't meet the specs.

                            Most handling problems can be solved by adjusting the screw-ball. It can be difficult to fine tune at times. Explaining yourself loudly and striking it on top of the helmet with a dead blow hammer usually works well.

                                An LS block is SEVERAL pounds heavier than a conventional SBC (and that's before we lighten the conventional ones), steel to steel. In the mod classes aluminum aren't allowed, making them at a disadvantage. We won 3 out of 4 races at East bay with Rodney Wing running our 388 CI mod engine, which makes over 715 reliable HP, and the nose weight is acceptable........ TB
