Boosted by twin turbos and kept alive by an exotic oiling system, the 3,000-plus horsepower mill requires precious little maintenance to propel this car to the top of the Street Legal/No Prep drag scene all over the Mid West and South East. The first CFE LSFusion block lives comfortably within the confines of the Hutter Performance Stratus. Finally, the oil pan pattern is also based on the GM LS pattern, so the wide range of factory and aftermarket oil pans developed for the LS will bolt right up to the LSFusion block. Also, the front drive setup is based on LS dimensions and accepts LS accessories, so that sure counts toward the naming convention. The 6-bolt main bearing cap design (with 4 traditional vertical main cap bolts and 2 horizontal cross-bolts per main bearing cap) does look like it was inspired by the LS, so maybe that counts. While it might have the letters “LS” in the name, there’s not much here that could be compared with any factory V8 manufactured by General Motors. The kind of racing where the rules are loose enough to allow a block with non-standard dimensions, like pro-level Outlaw stuff, mainly. Genuine points-chasing, major-championship competition with world record-level performers.

It’s the kind of hardware that’s reserved for only the most serious efforts. It’s not the kind of block you can expect to see at your local cruise night, or even your local race track for that matter. The LSFusion engine block from CFE Racing is not for the meek.
