if you want to use an ls1 block i would go 383 (same bore, stroker crank) if you want an ls2 (aluminum) or lq9 (iron) you can do a 402-408...you could also resleeve the ls1 for a 427 big$$$ or get a c5r block real big $$$ like 6,000 for block alone

All very viable options, but for 600hp a simple 402 iron block will do the trick, with pretty much any F/I you put on it.

sell the ls1 and build up an ls2 402. by the time you do all the machine work, purchase the rotating assembly, ect the price difference between the 383 and 402 is minimalistic.
are you talking flywheel or rear wheel HP? with the proper h/c setup on the 402 you can have over 500rwhp easy.

What is the typical cost to resleeve an LS1 to a 427 (4.125???) bore?
Looking towards the future, something about a 427 badge on the side of an SS that just gives me wood
