Anyone know where I can find a GTSR block?

[LS6 Molester]

I know how hard they are to find and figured i would try asking just in case.

If I am not mistaken the GTSR block is the same as a regular viper block. I do not think there was anything special done to them.....I could be wrong though.

 

[SylvanSRT]

the GTS/R blocks do not have mounting points for assys like A/C i am guessing there are other changes also

 

[AviP]

I think they were totally different blocks.

 

[SylvanSRT]

i believe your correct, same basic architecture but different castings

The GTSR blocks have several differences. The biggest being the different size main and caps. You can't use a stock crank in a GTSR block.

Yes, I have a member with several brand new ones! Yes, they are different. Yes, they are hard to find.

He used to race, bought them as spares, never used them. I think he might be inclined to sell them if asked. In fact they are new, crated, and still wrapped!

Just email me at [email protected] and I can put you in touch.

By the FIA rules and regulations the blocks (and heads) had to be PRODUCTION castings. The only difference in the original GTSR blocks were beefier main caps. But, if you look hard you'll see production part numbers on blocks & heads. The GTSR heads had some trick CNC machining work done, but started with production castings.

The GTSR started with production forgings but had more work done to them for heavy-duty 24-hour use.

i always thought they did

They were a special production block different casting completely from the standard.
There is no motor mount provisions or accessories mounting ( power steering or a/c mounts) It uses a special crankshaft that wont fit in our blocks. Among alot of other difference's.

BTW take the info from MQQNVPR he is one of THE best sources with regard to Gen `1 and 2 engines !

I have a friend that saw this post and has decided to sell one of his GTS-R blocks. Not sure what other parts in his GTS-R collection he is wanting to part with. With the above mentioned differences there would be other parts necessary to use the block. I can get you in touch with him if you are still interested

Try Al Box, I believe he has one left. They cost circa 6k.

Cheers Gus
