The newer LS6 engine VS The old school cast iron 350 Chevy, whats the difference?
When looking at building an engine, there are definitely a lot of factors to consider. First and foremost, you need to figure out what it is that you’re building it for. Do you want a racing machine? Do you want something that’ll sound good and have a little bit of power behind it that you can use a cruise around with? Do you just want something that’s going to be interesting and good on gas? After that, even when you figure out exactly what you want other factors like time and money to dedicate to the build come into play to decide what the exact right engine is for your setup.
