* Hotrod Magazine. GEN III. The first look at the all new GM
small-block V8 LS1. By Jeff Smith. Page 50, September 1996. Normally
auto magazines do not publish the material specifications for auto
engine parts. This article on the AL alloy block Chevy V8 LS1 engine
is an exception. Crank, rods and main bearing caps are specified as
either cast iron or powdered metal. Chevy actually went down on the
valve stem diameter to reduce the valve weight. This is not what is
needed for good heat rejection in high duty cycle engines.  Lots of
other engine details are included.
