You know early 60 buicks had an aluminum v8 and now I think the Discoverer is using that base engine but upgraded to efi.

LSI and 6 speed. 93-97? LT1, cast block aluminum heads, 4 spd (4L60E) or 6spd ZF 98-03? LS1, all aluminum, same tranny options. That 6 spd supposedly good to 600 hp or so. Any Later LT1 or LS-whatever 'Vette had same trannies also. The 6 spd is same as in Vipers thru 04. Dont know about later Vipers. Probably same, just beefed a little. |

Buick 255 V8 in the early 60's. I built a 6 rib for a local guy here that has one in his street rail. He even has a supercharger on it. |

Lexus has an aluminum V8. A friend of mine has one hes putting in his race car. They aren't as expensive as one might think from the junkyards. John |

We saw it in Laughlin. It was not the fastest car there by any means but it sounded great. |
