Other than the displacement (5.7L / 347.5ci), the aforementioned rod bearings and physical dimensions with previous generation LT1 small block, the LS1 was a new all-aluminum single-cam pushrod engine with a bore and stroke of 99 mm × 92 mm (3.898 in × 3.622 in) making this GM's first all-aluminum production V8. With the
Configuration: 90° V8Sep 22, 2015 As a result, the LS1 block weighs a svelte 107 pounds; its iron-block cousins weigh an additional 88 pounds. All LS1 and LS6 blocks have the same basic construction, cast from 319-T5 aluminum with centrifugally spun iron cylinder liners in place. They have a 3.898-inch bore with knock sensor provisions located in the lifter valley.

The new ECU ignition system also brought a new firing order for the LS1 of 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 which was big change for the small block. The changes continued with an all new intake design for the aluminum heads that were focused on performance with

Dec 03, 2018 Something most people don't know is that the 5.3-liter iron blocks can be bored to the LS1's size. If you're running boost and nitrous, you can hone the blocks to 3.8 inches. These blocks have been known to withstand 1,300 whp with proper machining, racing fuel and an excellent tune, which is hard to believe but true.
Mar 27, 2017 The factory cast iron sleeves in a stock Chevy LS1 aluminum block are designed to handle peak pressures of about 1,100 psi. If you boost the engine with a supercharger or turbo and/or add nitrous, you can easily make 1,300 to 1,800 hp.
Oct 05, 2011 aluminum 5.7 LS6 with main caps: 82lb. iron 6.0 with main caps: 162lb. iron LSX with caps prior to boring: 248lb. L33 has similar sleeve OD and block features as the LS6, but the L33 sleeves are .060 thicker to produce the smaller bore, so add a few pounds versus the LS6. If you bore it to 3.90" then it probably weighs within a pound of LS6.
Sep 22, 2015 The original aluminum LS1 block used in 1997–1998 Corvettes and the 1998 Camaro and Firebird (casting # 102550592) is thought to be the least desirable of all variations. The cylinder liners are particularly thin, and can only tolerate a light hone (.005 inch) during a rebuild (the later blocks allow .010 inch).
The ultimate GM aluminum LS block, the C5R was originally designed for Chevrolet's factory-backed Corvette Racing program. It was developed to support more than 440 cubic inches and up to 900 horsepower – and has proven itself by powering Corvette team to endurance racing wins.

Yea, I say stick with the aluminum block and save some weight. We sprayed our LS2 stroker with a 300 shot for 2 seasons and went as fast as 9.41 @ 145 mph.
Nov 22, 2020 - LS1 Stock starter weight = 8.5 lbs, TBI starter weight = 19.5 lbs. Using a lightweight SBC mini starter of equivalent ls starter weight = additional 11 lbs 46+7+11 = 64lbs; 150-64 = 86lbs There's probably some other weight to be lost on the TBI engine relative to the LS1 in terms of a OP's install of a prospective carb'd 383).

Aug 28, 2008 Aluminum block or not, by the time you have the engine ready to bolt up to your firewall that assembly is probably going to weigh well more than 500 pounds. That's a lot of mass for 200 hp. But in order for this to work well in an airplane, you'll most likely want to make a few modifications in order to maximize the torque capability of the engine.
Nov 01, 2007 Cylinder block: Advertisement. This GM Gen III aluminum LS1 block had cast-in-place liners for a stock bore of 3.898" Taking the bore out to a 3.910" would compromise the strength of the cylinder walls and, in all probability cause them to deform under high cylinder pressure, prevalent in this boosted application.
Oct 30, 2006 So this is a LT1 block verses a LS1 aluminum block? I would like to see these test redone with a little more accurate method of taking the weight. 2 bathroom scales leaves something to be desired. If the scales are biased, they'll be biased the same for each block, so I doubt it matters much at all.
Jun 05, 2011 The LSX block is available at 3.880" rough bore, I'd use that one if starting from scratch and $ is no issue. I wouldn't worry too much about more lbs. on the front end, I'd take the power over the weight of the aluminum block, and get the car to 60 ft., I know of a 9" tired 55% front/45% rear weight NHRA car that will launch with anyone.
Feb 01, 2014 From some reading an iron ls motor block weighs 70 pounds more than an aluminum ls motor. So fully dressed aluminum ls1 = 400lbs. Iron 454 with iron heads and stock intake = 650lbs, aluminum heads and intake drops around 90 lbs. Jan 31, 2014 #7.
Oct 05, 2011 aluminum 5.7 LS6 with main caps: 82lb. iron 6.0 with main caps: 162lb. iron LSX with caps prior to boring: 248lb.

Mar 23, 2011 It was an LS1 car so some intelligent individual exclaimed, why not drop and LT1 motor in it since they are so much heavier. This got me thinking. I Google searched, as any research starts, and found some interesting topics. Some people explain that an LT1 block alone weighs 300 pounds more. Now that would be a substantial amount of weight.
Feb 11, 2021 The original small-block Chevy weighs in at 190-pounds. And while the LS aluminum block comes in at only 115-pounds, the iron units are 215-pounds. The LS's extra weight is related to the block strength, which is much more robust than the small-block from years ago. The LS has a skirted design, which means the sides of the engine extend down ...
Oct 12, 2004 a 4" bore and 4" stroke is 402ci. bored .030" and a 4" stroke is a 408. the ls1 block will hold more then what you'll likely throw at it, average joes dont go around putting down 100rwhp. with the introduction of the ls2 block i wouldnt go with the iron block anymore, you'll get the 4" bore and weight savings with the ls2 over the 6.0.
Jun 01, 2020 The LS1 weighed in at 45 pounds less than the aforementioned LT1. Much of this weight reduction can be traced back to the LS1's all-new aluminum block and thermoplastic composite intake. Both of these features were also dual purpose in their design, as both presented functional attributes of note other than their weight reductive qualities.
General Motors called it the Gen-III Small-Block, with the iron-block versions in trucks and the all-aluminum LS1 introduced in the then-new C5 Corvette. GM has continued to refer to its modern V-8 engine family as Gen III and Gen IV, but to the enthusiasts who quickly grasped the tremendous performance potential of the engines, every engine of ...

LM4 - Aluminum Version of Standard 5.3L. The LM4 is essential all the same as a standard LM7 but with an aluminum block. Be careful when searching for engines. Many see the aluminum block and assume its an L33. The biggest giveaway with an LM4 is there is a giant hole through the oil pan for the front axle of the Trailblazer and Envoy that they ...

Answer (1 of 13): The “L" prefix denotes engine options in General Motors RPO (Regular Production Option) designations. The original LS1 appeared in the 1997 Corvette with a 5.7 liter displacement. This of course will cause confusion since the LT1/LT4 that it replaced were also 5.7L V8s. The 199...

Mar 26, 2013 The oil clearance is the gap between the inside diameter of an installed bearing and the outside diameter of the crankshaft or camshaft journal. The clearance is measured 90 degrees to the bearing parting line, which is the thickest part of the bearing (bearing thickness tapers slightly toward the parting line).
