ls 376/515
I am looking at engine options for my c10 and was thinking about a ls crate engine. I was lookin at the 375 cu in 515hp all aluminum model. I feel kinnda ify about that engine because of the block, how much power can the aluminum blocks handle before they warp or brake? and how long (assuming I dont beat the hell out of it) would this engine last?
