And those just happen to be the best damn blocks to build a motor with. Do a search. The "claimers" swear by them. They are thicker castings. Really bits and pieces off of cars aren't really a fair comparison. If it wasn't for Mexico than you wouldn't have the Avalanche,HHR,Rendezvous,Aztek and some Cavaliers to poke fun at. Aint no way the General could build them up here for the prices they sell them at. What I cant figure out is with all of this NAFTA and immigration BS going on why none of the car makers have named a car the Alamo? If those crazy Texicans had won that battle we wouldn't be in this mess today. 
You know there's a conspiracy going on today. Us real Americans haven't been able to buy anything with a SBC in it since 2002 but if you're one of those other Americans(i.e. Mexican) you can still buy a new Silverado with a SBC. You mean to tell me that GM thinks the 3rd world isn't ready for real technology? Of course I can read between the lines and this tells me that a LSX motor cant go for a gazillion miles without an oil and filter change.
