Hawks Motorsports proudly offers the BluePrint Engines BPP12110356 GM LS Compatible Bare Block, a premium-performance engine block engineered for builders seeking a durable, high-strength foundation for custom LS engine builds. Featuring a 9.240-inch standard deck height, 4.000-inch semi-finished bore, SIAM (siamesed) cylinder bores, and ductile cast iron 4-bolt main caps, this block is designed to withstand the demands of naturally aspirated, turbocharged, supercharged, and nitrous-assisted applications.
Manufactured from high-strength EN-GJL-250 cast iron, the BPP12110356 incorporates reinforced bulkheads, thick cylinder walls, and a priority main oiling system to provide exceptional crankshaft stability and lubrication under extreme horsepower conditions. The block supports up to a 4.060-inch finished bore, 4.250-inch stroke, and engine combinations approaching 454 cubic inches, making it an excellent foundation for street performance, Pro Touring, drag racing, off-road, and marine applications.
Each BluePrint Engines bare block is CNC precision machined to ensure accurate deck surfaces, line-honed main bearing bores, and properly machined lifter bores. The block accepts standard LS timing covers, oil pumps, oil pans, rear covers, and valley covers, providing compatibility with a wide range of OEM and aftermarket LS components.
Whether you're assembling a 376, 408, 427, or 454 cubic inch LS combination, the BPP12110356 delivers the strength, reliability, and machining precision expected from BluePrint Engines.
