471ci LS2 - there is NO replacement for displacement

[RC45]

Now this maybe a cheaper and more powerful alternative to an LS7...

And the best part is that there will not be much of a cost adder over our 441CI LS2. I'll have more info as the first one goes together. Mike

It sounds like a promising engine but how much cylinder wall is left at that point?

Mike is putting it together as you read this... his 441ci LS2 is a 600bhp+ firebreathing insane monster

This 471ci is gonna top than..

By cheaper, you mean capital cost right? Surely that will have a much larger fuel cost

I'm not one who cares about fuel economy, though. As long as that engine is loud as shit and breaks dynos I'm interested

Actually most of the big cubic inch C5 Vettes still get 25mpg+ in 6th.
