What numbers do a 6.0L LS1 Iron Block Engine Make?

 

Compared to an LS1 block or what?

If so, I don't think you'll find anyone that's swapped the LS1 block for the 6.0 liter block just to try to make more power. Most people go with the 6.0 liter for strength (iron) or for big cubes (42x-43x ci) or both.

 

Going for strength and just wanted to know what compared to LS1.

 

Car Craft mag. did a 6.0L truck engine build up with an SLP stroker kit (bumped upto 402 cu.in. from 364 cu.in) and made 580 HP, and torque around ~545 lb-ft . I think they used a set of worked LS6 heads for the build.

Basically, there's no difference in the power you can make just based on the block itself. I've got an older Chevy High Tech mag that shows a 383 LS1 build up that made almost the same power as the Car Craft 6.0L engine.

 

I want to know what it will make with the 6.0L LS1 bored .040 w/ stock ls1 heads, and intake.

 

I think as a general rule, every cubic inch you add gains you another one horsepower, so you'd be looking at 15-16 more horses. Like someone else said they are used for more cubes. I'd love a nice stroker cause theres no replacement for displacement.

 

My budy made 300rwhp and 340rwtq with a bone stock 6.0 down to the paper filter bone stock. I was impressed with the 340rwtq.

 

Been known to make this much.

New set is going to be even stronger.
