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? I listed the specs of the engine below
Part number: 19171225 Balanced: Internal Block (P/N 12584727): Cast Aluminum with 6-bolt, cross-bolted main caps Bore x Stroke (in): 4.06 x 3.62 (103.25 x 92mm) Camshaft duration (@.050 in): 226 degree intake / 236 degree exhaust Camshaft type (P/N 12480110): Hydraulic rolller Compression ratio: 10.7:1 Connecting rods (P/N 12617570): Powdered metal Crankshaft (P/N 12597569): Nodular Iron Cylinder heads (P/N 12598594): LS3 rectangle port; as cast with 68cc chambers Displacement (cu in): 376 cu in (6.2L) Engine type: LS Series Gen IV small-block V8 Pistons (P/N 19165089): Hypereutectic aluminum Maximum recommended RPM: 6600 Recommended fuel: 92 octane Reluctor wheel: 58x Rocker arm ratio: 1.7:1 Rocker arms (P/N 10214664 exh): Investment cast, roller trunnion Rocker arms (P/N 12569167 int): Investment cast, roller trunnion Valve lift (in): .525" intake / .525" exhaust Valve size (in): 2.16 int / 1.59 exhaust
