Duration: 17:44 Views: 410K Submitted: 4 years ago

Description: Looking back to when GM's hot new engine block, the LSX, was introduced and changed the automotive aftermarket for years to come. We'll travel to an event where racers use the iron block to build 7-second cars. Then we'll use one to build a small block 427 that we test on the dyno.
