Ahhh, but they're not really LS1's;). The LS1 is "specifically" the 5.7L:p. The 4.8 / 5.3 / 6.0 are similar designs, but the LS1 & LS6 are the only aluminum 5.7L engines.

Either the 5.3 the 6.0 or both are the same block as the 5.7 i forget which (or if it's both) just different stroke.

6.0 is an iron block and what most of the big strokers are based on, I dont know about the 5.3 other than heads.

the 4.8 the 5.3 and the 6.0 VORTEC Motors are iron block

the 5.6 ls1 and ls6 motors are aluminum.

The lt1 and lt4's are iron block

No, the 6.0L is a 4.0" bore with the same 3.622" stroke as the LS1/6. We use the 6.0L block to build our 396 and 408 combos. :)

98-02 V8 Camaro's are aluminum. There not silver for nothin. I hope you didn't think that was silver paint:eek:

Ok, the LS1, LS6 and LM7 (the 5.3 Truck Engine) are all the same block design. The LS1/LS6 are all aluminum while the LM7 is Iron block aluminum heads. The 6.0 truck engine is a completely different animal.
