Has anyone done this to their ls1? If so what have you liked and disliked about it? I am thinking of selling off my S/C and going this route. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have one sitting in the garage waiting to go in the car. I have very high expectations

What type of application are you going to use it for? Drag racing 1/4 mile? I am thinking that it may be a good thing to do.

Street/Road Racing (on a track). I want a light motor thats RPM flexible and very tough.

I think the OLOA 1st place car (an MTI 427) ran a C5R block, but it tolerated alot more abuse than I think Im going to generate.

I have a block for sell that comes honed, new hardened Dura-Bond cam bearings, and new ARP main studs. Some people think the dry sleeves are better than the wet sleeves. I called Darton who makes the dry sleeves for Agostino racing and the wet sleeves. The tec said the wet sleeves are far better and can take more abuse, and that the dry sleeves are milled very thin to get a 4.125" bore. He said Darton has been using wet sleeves for years in motors that make over 1000 hp with out any problems. Also with the wet sleeves you get better heat transfer. Morgan Machine Shop are setting the motor up for me. Naturally aspirated cars with 427 CI are running the ¼ mile the low to mid 10's, with NOS there hitting the mid to hi 9's. I would be willing to go 3000 shipped. I would be willing to go 3000 shipped. You can email me at NRKnause@midamerican.com

I have an ARE 382 Solid Roller. It's so damn responsive it's amazing. On the street it's awesome with the six speed. On the track it's really cool. Definitely a cool setup, just like most new motors that we can get from our sponsors.
