LNF head on LSJ block will it work

Hey guys I need some help. I have an 2010 LNF but melted 2 Pistons and scarred up the sleeves. So I was looking into getting just another block all together. Came across a couple lnfs but was wondering if I could run an LSJ block with my LNF head

I will have some pistons available soon. You could get a quote to resleeve your block, might not be that expensive.

It should fit but you'll be taking a step backwards.

Get another LNF or LDK.

They are talking stock.

The LNF is the weakest block in the ecotec line up. lol

I would recommend a LDK and LHU for reliability they are the strongest.

Can't run the LSJ block, no oil ports for the VVT head. It would physically fit but doesn't work.
