World Products New Motown LS Combines LSX Induction with Small Block Chevy Internals
World Products has released one unique block. It is a hybrid block between a small block Chevy and LSX. The idea is to have a conventional Chevy small block foundation and use it with modern-day head technology. This block does require a fair amount of custom parts.
It all starts at the bottom of the block, which is partitioned for all standard SBC cranks and clearance for a 4.00” stroke and accepts SBC rods. Caps are available in steel and nodular. From there, we move to the cam tunnel. The tunnel size is increased to 55 MM but comes with 50 MM bearings, and the oiling holes are now set to the 5 o’clock position. This helps oiling on high sprung engines by keeping the cam from forcing the oil hole closed if it is positioned on the bottom. The cam for this block will be a custom grind piece that they have been working with Comp Cams to develop.
Up on to the top. Piston will be an LS based piece. The cooling system has been redesigned to fit the LS heads. Besides the custom length push rods, the motor takes LS rockers and lifters. The block will be the same price has conventional small block Chevys, but will require an installation kit. This includes parts like a valley cover and coolant crossover plates for the front of the head (since the LS intake doesn’t have a crossover like the SBC does). World feels that this block will pick up 80 horsepower, 60 from the heads and 20 due to the SBC windage.
The only custom part you have to buy is a SBC cam with LS lobe positions.
