for the guys saying LSx swap, the LS series is based off a Ford block, Ford heads and a Ford intake. It's the best motor Ford never put together, even most of the LS forums have at least one post mentioning it. and if you really want to make power, go with a 351w based 460 stroker, you can break 800 on the motor. or if you want some sick 363 power use the new Ford Boss motor, 600hp out of the crate. Nothing against Ford stuff, and there is definitely some design "style" borrowed for the LS stuff, but it's pretty far away from the 289 and its descendants. |

Aside from block and cylinder head bolt similiarities (which are more "general" than specific really), the heads have nothing in common aside from intake/exhaust valve layout and Ford didn't use that style of intake for quite a long time. They also have the benefit of 6 bolt mains and not cracking down the valley at high HP with stock blocks.

However, the Ford small block has gone mostly unchanged since it was created and parts are cheap. Also, almost any shop can work on a SBF while the LS1 has been discontinued. |
