LSX Bowtie Block

The next generation of high performance GM blocks has been released! It’s the amazing LSX bowtie block, designed from the ground up to deliver maximum value while providing you with the foundation to build the LS engine of your dreams.

GM Performance parts, working with NHRA pro stock legend Warren Johnson, designed the LSX block to be the ultimate high performance LS block. Our goal was to bring the LS community race block technology at street car prices. Just like every engine part in the GM performance parts portfolio, the LSX Bowtie block is held to the highest industry standards for tolerances, materials and construction.

We think that you’ll find the LSX to be the ultimate in high performance LS engine blocks!
