Is the 350 Chevvy motor still used anywhere?

Lots of LS2 & LS7 applications but is the 350 still usd by GM in anything worthy?

I doubt it, although they still made obviously. Even the low-end truck engines will be Gen IV now.

LS1 is a 350 innit?

Oh I thought you were talking about the old skool 350 (like you got in a 60s Camaro or a million Cobra reps). I think the LS1 is actually a 346. After having a quick look it doesn't look like they do a 5.7 in the current line up. Plenty of 5.3s and 6.0s and above. The LS3 is a 5.3 and is fitted transversely and drives the front wheels of the Chevy Impala SS (weird!)

It looks like it's last production incarnation was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Small-Block_engine...

346 actually.

Rodders wont use the LS1 because its fuel injected, although there are companys which will pop a carby on.

You can get a crate motor 350 for 1100 pounds, silly money.

Bet its in some new motor somewhere in the world. (China?)

You can get dress up kits to make it look a bit more roddish though:

Hehe, you can hand-on-heart tell someone that your engine is green.

I don't think i'd go for that exact finish, possibly just chrome or anodised red.

Black would be faster
