So why dont we see more LS based 454's in trucks? Is the cost on the motor to high to want to put it in a truck?

That is my guess. I still want a large cube lsx. Not sure how large. At least 427.Quote:

Yeah. I think boring one to 454 is about as far as you can go. Then once you need to rebuild its a no go.Quote:

IMHO if you want big cubes a BBC is still the way to go.
When you take a royal azz whoopin at the drag strip, chances are it was dished out by a big block Chevy. :lol:
Everyone has an opinion. I will stick with ls motors until some thing better comes along. Like maybe a helium 3 powered engine.Quote:
