hey guys i hope u can help my, i have vt ls1 im twin turboing it and wanting 1000 hp, ive heard the ls1 blocks cant take that much, and that i need to get a cast iron ls2 block because there stronger, ive sussed a block out, my questions are
1. will the ls1 crank, rods and dish pistons fit into a ls2 block, if i get the 4.00 piston size
2. will the ls1 cathedral aliminum heads bolt on?
3.is the wiring all the same
4. will the ls1 sump bolt on...
any info will be very helpfull as everyone ive asked cant help me with my questions...
please and thank you very much
buy an lq4 or lq9 crate motor, cast iron block, 6l, good as a stock setup with afew tweaks. arp head and main studs, ls6 cam, ls9 head gaskets and turn it up. quite afew making 700rwhp+, a couple cracking 1000rwhp. its all in the tune.
ls1's will take 700rwhp but its like a ticking time bomb and your tune better be bang on at that time. depends how hard you plan on driving it.
cast iron block guarentees reliability. unless you look at lsx block.
cast iron bare with main caps lq4/lq9 blocks are $1250 from eagle parts.
so the lq4 or lq9 they were the truck blocks is this corrct, is it better getting a lq4 or lq9, whats the differnce between those 2??, and they would all be differnt parts not ls parts correct??
no i dont want it to be a ticking time bomb lol, if u can help me out more champ will be very thankfull
