Re: bowtie 60V6
3.485 bore and it's used? That's smaller than a 2.8 bore. WTF were they running it as/in?
If the block can go out to 94mm, an LX9 built in that block would be a nice piece.

Re: bowtie 60V6
It says its new never used.
GM rough bored the blocks. You had to go to a machinist for proper boring and fitment of pistons you planned to use.
The block can only go to 92mm safely according to GM literature. That works out to a 3.3 or 3.4 I cant remember.
That price is inline for what I sold mine about a decade ago.

Re: bowtie 60V6
My bad... I mis-read it.
92x84 is a 3400... Will the LX9 3500 heads fit that bore size?
Do we have any of the GM literature available?
ETA: Oh yeah, I have a 3" stroke billet crankshaft... Would be pretty awesome with this block.

Cool... didn't know that.
So it could do a reasonable job at impersonating an LX9 with... 50 lbs? less weight?

Re: bowtie 60V6
Even if not the 3400 heads can be ported out, and the lx9 upper plenum can bolt to the 3400 lower and a larger 65mm tb be bolted on vs the stock 54mm

Re: bowtie 60V6
Ben at WOT-Tech used to say that max effort 3400 heads outflowed max effort 3500 heads, I'm not sure if he has changed his port at all since then though.Shaun41178(2) wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 9:22 pm Even if not the 3400 heads can be ported out, and the lx9 upper plenum can bolt to the 3400 lower and a larger 65mm tb be bolted on vs the stock 54mm

Aluminum block with a turbo and interchiller hardware would probably be about the same weight as the stock iron engine.
The aluminum block has been run at 700ish HP in race trim.
