COMMENTS: We’re excited to announce that the same engine that (in prototype form) made 641 hp in the GMPP/Reggie Jackson ’69 Camaro will be available later this year, around the SEMA time frame! By virtue of its incorporation of the new bulletproof GMPP LSX engine block (see a full technical review of this block in our February 2007 issue), features like a six-bolt head pattern, priority main oiling system, and high-tensile-strength cast iron are inherent in the block. Details are still being finalized on this engine, but look for the possibility of a stand-alone EFI system as well. Count on GMHTP to keep you in the loop, as more information becomes available on the LSX 454.
