The LS engines from GM are an awesome engine. I have been gathering parts for my own build. Parts are everywhere and plentiful. GM Performance L92 heads are my choice and flow very nice and $1000 for the pair. Raylar, what is the price on your LSM engine package? I am only going with 8.7:1 compression and in hopes of achieving 440hp and 450tq or even lower compression and running turbos.
Tyler, an LS based engine is something that I hope to see from you.

We are going to come up with a package as soon as we get every one cleared out of the shop and on the water. I think we can make over 500 HP without to much trouble.

Tyler,
How do you think the torque will be on an LSM compared to a merc 525?
Has anyone did a blower boat version? Seems like for smaller twin motor boats it would be a nice package, how much would we save in weight?

500 HP is very achievable and reliable. Im am using the LS2 engine block. I havent decided on my bore and stroke combination yet. Probably something close to square. I believe that Innovation Marine has done some testing with the LS engine already. Some of the automotive forums have a plentiful supply of information for this style of engine. I am definitely going with closed cooling to control the internals of the engine(corrosion) and be able to live in salt water.

Very impressive Tyler. I am currently running a 600 hp Dart block based 406. Interested in the Fuel Injection. I feel that it would gain some manners around the docks!! What would a setup like that run and can I add it to my Super Victor??

Thanks for the reply Tyler. I would love to build a twin to the engine I have and find an old 30 Velocity to put them in. I really think inj is the way to go. Just have to weigh the odds on the cost.
