You are correct.... my Aluminum Ford block... bare... was about the cost of a complete LS -1 Crate motor...
And yes..I'm now an LS chevy fan..I've looked into fords, wankels and herds of excited squirrels, and its going to be a chevy LS series engine for me...as an afterthought...what is the possibilty of having a steel crankshaft made the has the nose splined or whatever and take the power off the front end of the engine, where the timing chain is etc etc.?
Reply: Mechanically it could be done but thats the smaller weaker end of the crank and you would have to deal with the water pump and oil pump being in the way. Also the rotation would be in the opposite direction.
Not saying you are not familiar... Just trying to get my head around the effort/benefit tradeoff.
One thing the LSx has going for it is its symmetry. If you want to flip the intake manifold around so it is facing the flywheel, that's no problem.
BTW, Have you built a CAD model of the engine yet? Seems like someone with your talent you could whip one up in no time.
