Ls is all alum. 302 is cast iirc. Ls weighs about the same as a cast 4 banger.

Could also use a 1uz. There all alum with 6 bolt mains. Quad cam. Those are pretty beasty and can be found at any junkyard all day long.

I always thought the old 454 chevy was a ls6 but thanks for the info

Yeah it was but these days "LS" denotes the LS1 and later all aluminium series of engines, even back in the day "L" was the more common varient, there was an LS34,1,3 and 6 from memory, the more desirable engines were the ZL's ;)

Good luck finding an original ZL1 these days. IIRC, there were 48 Camaros and 2 Corvettes that got that engine 'officially' (build sheet records). Might be 2 Camaros/48 Vettes, I forget which. Either way, engine was an all aluminum 427, and had such high compression it had to run on the tears of Ford and Mopar owners...

If I ever met someone who actually pronounced it tamato I would probably slap the shit out of them.

Head down south, it happens.
