Default want to put a 427 kit in my ls1 need help

hey guys, i am thinking about putting a 427 kit in my 2002 ws6 m6 ls1. my end goal would be to have a procharged 427 ls1 running 12-15psi if possible in the end. i know i would need the block to get resleeved darton sleeves in it, but what would be my best choice as to ge the best quality work and price. should i send the block to get the block resleeved somehwere and then biuld the motor myslef or should i send my block somwhere and have it built, doing the motor myself would not be a issue at all, i am just not sure of what all my options are and what the best thing to do is, what are some companies that i should look at and talk to for my project. im just not sure what my best options would be. i would really appriciate any help or suggestions. thanks again

steve @ R.E.D.

the best, IMO.

Whatever shop you go with, have them assemble the shortblock.

Steve is the co-inventor of the sleeves. He should be able to answer any question that you have.

is a 427 ls1 with 12-15 psi procharged motor possible? can a ls1 block handle the power and everything that would be in there? does r.e.d have short block assemblies? i was just wondering a little more of what kind of products r.e.d. has to offer because i didnt get to much from there web site. thanks for the help

Steve normally just does the machine work. Send him an email with any questions. He did a few things for me for his own personal/future information, and is awesome. I am running a 427 all lunati ,sleeved block.
