    LTx block cancelled

    very disappointing but i saw this one coming. Guess my future buildup will not be a 427ci

    They should have produced this block years ago when 454 lsx's werent around and the economy was good. oh well.

    Well, I have received some very, very unfortunate news today.
    This project has been officially canceled.

    It seems that after speaking to many of our engine builders, warehouses, racer clients and others that our initial assessment was somewhat over-inflated, our secondary assessment has not been nearly as positive as the first, sadly.

    I and everyone else here at Dart realize that this is a big let down for a lot of the people who showed so much interest in the project. I don't make any excuses for it, we messed up this one, and we're sorry.

    I, personally am disappointed that we decided not to do this, as I was really looking forward to going ahead with it, but I also understand why, in the end, it was decided not to do so.

    I suspect that I'll get beat up a bit for this announcement, it's not one that I enjoy making... I certainly don't hold it against anyone who is upset about this.

    Sorry again to everyone who showed such support for the project.

                      I thought this was dead long ago.

                      GM has neither the time nor resources nor platforms for two different V8 engine applications.

                      I'm surprised it lasted this long.

                        Ummm GM wasnt producing the block - it had nothing to do with them. Dart was.

                            Dart was going to make it, nothing to do with GM at all. Very sad news to hear - I know a lot of people were looking forward to that new block coming out.
