x20xev block

[saloonwoody]

are they the same as a c20xe block ?

[burgo]

Same in what sense?

[saloonwoody]

just a straight swap ?

[burgo]

For a nova yes. But a redtop block is stronger but don't need to worry about that until around 600 ish

[saloonwoody]

its never gonna see more than standard power anyway

[Andy]

a redtop block is stronger

Is it? in what way?

[burgo]

They are closed deck so the cylinders are better supported

[turbo-boy]

i have been using them for years better cast quailty

[Damo]

The ecotec has the strongest block I've read so mixed with the early c20xe crank an rods should see a strong engine....

Early XEVs were closed deck too
