Ls 502

[Keith Tedford]

Chevy has the old big block 502 502 hp but it would be a big hassle putting it in a newer Corvette. Now the problem is solved. You might need deeper than average pockets though. LME’s 502ci 700+ hp LS Build Part 1: The Short Block | Street Legal TV

i didn't see what length of rod was being used, only that a minimum 6.125 could be used. this would only give a rod/stroke ratio of 1.33. not very good. i wonder if they get around this with the tall deck and piston pin placement ?

Its an RHS tall deck block.

so with the tall deck the geometry will improve ? the piston pin placement bothers me too, awfully far into the ring groove. it seems quite similar to the ford 347 stroker which makes big power but has a fairly short life. i think if i had the bucks to put into one of these i would want to see how they last. just wonderin'.

If you want any info on this just give Bryan at LME a call. He just built my engine and is always eager to answer questions.
