When Dart introduced the first in the LS Next line of engine blocks in 2013, it opened the door to mechanically reliable big horsepower LS builds. The design featured a bottom end with splayed billet main caps, priority main oiling, 6-bolt head provisions, longer cylinder barrels and much more. Dart blew the top off horsepower limitations and we at BOROWSKI RACE ENGINES, INC. were all over it from Day 1 as the advantages were glaringly obvious.

A big jump forward was the skirted aluminum LS Next block. We have used this block for a gamut of power including NA, supercharged, turbo and nitrous engines like the 427ci, including 4.5L Whipple shown in the dyno video below.

Features:
- Dart priority main oiling system with provisions for stock oil filter mounting.
- Siamesed cylinder bores with thick walls.
- Cylinder barrels extended 0.375" at the bottom of the bores relative to OEM.
- Thick decks ensure reliable head gasket seal.
- Blind head bolt holes.
- 6 bolt per cylinder capability.
- Scalloped water jackets increase flow around cylinders for better cooling.
- Splayed outer bolts on middle main bearing caps.
- Provisions for LSX roller lifters and cam.
- Uses OE front and rear covers.
- All OE bolt holes for starter, water pump, etc.
- Parts kit sold separately
