There's a solution to every problem. It all depends on how much money you want to throw at the problem. And what the end results you are looking for. For the amont spent.

I think it is because they wanted more TQ, but it also could have been because if they produce it they can easily fix/repair the engine if problems occur.

That engine probably ran on 116 or some other fuel that's ridiculously expensive. For drifting... No reason to run on anything but 93 or at most, 100 or 105 unleaded. |

Chevy one of the few companies keeping pushrod tech around. its a dying tech. i agree it makes great power for the mods, and they really have no reason to go to anything else. but u really cant call it modern by any stretch

For V8 packaging for most workloads, it's pretty hard to beat with more modern design layouts. The current line of LSx motors have about as much in common with the SBC engine of olde as the 370Z does with the 240Z. |

Can't improve upon perfection! Just kidding but it is a reliable platform and the new LS has very little in common with the Gen I SBC like Sh0velMan pointed out.

but the new ls has everything in common with a '65 block 350chev with a phone call to summit. there are no advances they took an old motor and put new parts in it. so the bolt patterns changed and the manifold is different everyting else is stndard berfomance v8 stuff. they just started putting better parts in it. go out buy a one piece rear main 350, get a lightweight rotating assembley out of the catalog with a set of raised port race heads and a big cam and bam 1975 ls1 eater. ihad a buddy with and 83 camaro and 450whp 78 sbc in it he built for $4500, so the real question here is why would you go to a junkyard and buy 6000 ls3 when you could call summit, start with a 4bolt block, and for 2000 less have fresh built 400+ hp mill? Ls's are old tech with a fresh paintjob, i've owned firebirds before been there done that. and ls parts aren't cheap either if you want a real improvement, fast lsx manifold 1400, race forged rotating assembley 4500, racevalvtrain cams and heads 3500, junkyard ls1 block and machining for new parts 2500, yes you can have north of 500 n/a with a 7500rpm redline but for 12k.

I know of one engine builder who calls the small block cheby, "an aftermarket motor". You can buy everything needed to build it, and not use one piece made by cheby.
