Still trying to find a solid number on the motor weights, but I am leaning toward aluminum. Got a friend with an LS6 take out.

Dressed LS1 is 457lbs for an auto and 497 for a manual. An LS1 is 93 lbs lighter than an LQ4 iron block (some have said up to 114 lbs). That is a pretty signicant difference.

I was making a slipper clutch joke. I know they's 1.3 litres.

Had money not been an issue I would have gone with an LS2 instead of the LQ9(not LQ4 :)) that ended up in there. I got that engine+wiring harness+ECU and pedal for $1300 shipped to my door.

^You mofo. Thats dirt. ^Thanks for chiming in. Please give more opinion of it since you actually had one.
What did you build it for? AUto-x, street. drag?
Aluminum was winning, but iron can be rebuilt easily and is way cheaper than LS2.
Still researching.

I never had decent stopping power, stock shitty metal plate disc brakes and the same in the rear so its hard to say how it would do overall. In the turns I did notice it was front heavy, as long as you dont plan on going beyond what the block can handle I'd get the aluminum. I could drive around on the street just fine but less weight is always better.
