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.Originally Posted by TDK08

I think it would be the initial investment in the lsx block. You can damn near build a complete 408 for the price of a lsx 454 short block.
EATIN' FORDS AND TUNDRAS

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.

well the lsx can go up to a 511ci area but once you start looking into bigger than 4.100'' cranks it starts to get expensive, plus the hp numbers arnt that much better than say a 427 but i wouldn't mind building a 440

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.
Everyone has an opinion. I will stick with ls motors until some thing better comes along. Like maybe a helium 3 powered engine.IMHO if you want big cubes a BBC is still the way to go.

It's not really just an opinion. A LS motor still can't hang with a healthy big inch BBC and a carburetor.
LMAO..... Really....
