Blocks, heads, intake and PCMs
I've searched to find some of the answers, but I was wondering if anyone has put together a simple spreadsheet concerning all the different combo's of parts that can bolt on which block, etc.
I'm looking through GM-HTP at all the short blocks available for the LS platform and I'm confused. I plan on moving up to an LS series next year and want to know all my options. I want to start by buying a shortblock, but I need to know if I get a 2000 T/A for ex., what block can I put in it and what operating system will I need to use.
Something simple like this would be very helpful.
Block Heads Intake PCM
LS1 LS1 LS1 LS1
LS1 LS6 ? LS1
LS2 ? ? ?
LQ9 ? ? ?
LS3 ? ? ?
L92 L92 ? ?
LS7 ? ? ?

What is your goal and budget? That will narrow things down tremendously.

Plan: This winter. Buy 1999-2000 T/A and swap in my Ford 9", BMR Rear suspension parts, competition TH-350 w/ brake and aluminum drive shaft. Install roll cage, long tube headers, electric cutouts.
Next winter - Engine:400-427 forged short block, fully cnc ported heads, 250 N20 shot.
LS2 - LQ9 - LS3 - L92????
$10,000 - $15,000?
I'd like to purchase shortblock now ($5-6K), and buy the heads, intake, rockers, lifters etc, etc over the next year as money permits to have new engine in place by year two.
Would like a block and assembly to handle 1,000 HP, due to thoughts of replacing pistons and cam and adding centrifugal supercharger / turbo 2-3 years down the road.
I'm going to put it together over time, don't have the $15k in my pocket right now.
