With the 15 plus years of LSX/LQX motors (how many millions did they make?) and the ease of making power, retrofitting them, or even buying as GM crate motors, I doubt they will die anytime soon. Just like the SBC or SBF. The LT!/LT4 motors are an example of waning aftermarket support although many SBC parts are pretty much the same item with a different part #.

I think that is the best part of these motors - they make huge power for cheap, are hard to blow up, and can fit in anything. Certainly beats the guys in the early 60's putting 348 tractor motors in their 3 window coupes.
