I've yet to post in a thread that you haven't come in right after me and been a smartass, when you really don't know half of the **** you post about. It's sad that people like you can get that I'm not impressed, all out of a suggestion...you know, since I've actually run an LSX, unlike you never being hand's-on with anything you suggest.? You bullshit worse than a teenage girl. If a mod sees this, please get rid of my account. I don't have time to deal with dumb ***** any more than necessary.

Excuse me? I didn't throw my head up my *** at random, you did. I agreed with your suggestion and made my own; YOU posted a Homer and said NOT going LSX would be "typical".

All I did was respond to the Op and to what I read off your post, angry man.
You got some kind of problem with me because I don't think a you need a lsx block to put down the Op's power goals. And I don't think a 4l80e belongs behind a cammed lm7. You're probably one of the biggest babies I've seen on a message board in a long time.
ASSume all you want about me. I got a damn thing to prove to some mouth piece I never met who lives in a place I have no desire to go. Please save the mod some work and delete your own account. While you're at it, pull that georgia jaw over your head and swallow.
See you're so busy you can post bullshit at 11 on a week night. lol
Man, this guy had some "race" colorado that he let someone else blow up. Now he's an expert on any and everything lsx. I wouldn't be concerned with anything he has to say or has done.

I'm just trying to do something different than a 370 or a 408. Yes their common engines but I'm wanting to do something different
Is that guy from KBB still in here isn't his name kyle or something

OP, sorry we mucked up your thread there; I've been here quite a while and I've managed to avoid that kind of mess the entire time, so I'm really not quite sure what happened there.
The LSX 376 that he suggested really is a good idea; I wasn't trying to take anything away from that, just offer alternatives.
If you do some homework, you can also find boost-ready shortblocks and longblocks based on the LSX in 427ci, if that's different enough for you. Those engines are tough as nails and can take a ton of grunt; I've just never been a fan of the extra weight if you aren't using the block to its potential.
The company I mentioned above (ERL) has also been proven in several big-name cars with prominant engine builders like Urban and is very reliable, as well as lighter as the Superdeck I engines are based on aluminum blocks, if you're looking to be really different. They are available in a boost-ready shortblocks in 427ci as well, and can be had with provisions for six-bolt heads like the LSX block has.
That 390 above was also a nice piece, if you're just looking for a different displacement with a reliable build based on the relatively light (compared to the LSX, not the aluminum ERL) platform.
There are really a lot of options for what you are proposing, even if you are looking for a less common displacement than 370/408 or a less common base than the factory 6-liter iron block.
