Proflow's Extreme LS/LSX Engine Block

When you are pushing the limits of modern LS performance, the foundation of your engine is everything. LS/LXS Aluminum Block is engineered specifically for high-boost, extreme-horsepower applications.

Designed around a robust, upgraded aftermarket Gen III architecture, this lightweight, ultra-strong aluminum package eliminates the weak points of factory blocks. Whether you are building a twin-turbo track monster or a massive-displacement supercharged street car, this block provides the structural rigidity and oiling efficiency needed to keep your rotating assembly alive under extreme stress.

Key Performance Features
