One of the US mags built an LS something or other using a careful mix and match of off the shelf Chevrolet parts, they reckon they got a reliable 500hp at the crank. Can’t remember which mag it was but they gave a list of part numbers so anybody could copy it.They used a lot of those in some of the offroaders before they started just dropping LS's in - they generally quite happily get 300 with throttle bodies and exhaust and a new ecu, 350 is doable with cams and compression and portwork. I saw one running 400 (although, it was "Yea, it's about 400 mate" and it gained 10bhp with every drink) with forged internals and a lot of rpms but it never stayed together.
