New stock block record
We can pontificate all we want as to what constitutes a “stock block”. But, if the rules of a certain class allow for modifications, then so be it.
regardless of modifications, 4.06 is badass.

No it's a LC9 based sleeved block, I've read it's now a 400ci shortblock. He has LS7 style Frankenstein heads on it.
I don't consider Steve Morris' mods to a stock block to be in the spirit of a stock block. For the money it makes more sense to go aftermarket or LSX. I heard $8K, is that for a bare block? You are $3K away from a Noonan billet block.

Beater was trolling.
He reached out to me via FB the day before he posted the slip, he asked me what info I needed for the list and we got to chatting a bit.
He'll try to get into the 3s with the current setup. He's got the power and car is light.

Apparently Capizzi himself said Joey’s combo counts and congratulated him on taking the stock block record.
kind of like cam only it goes without saying that a lot more than just a cam is allowed. stock block allows a lot of things as long as you are starting with an oem block not an aftermarket block.

FWIW and from what I've read and heard on his videos... its a 427" not a 400" built by Maschmeier Performance Engines. No reason not to go to 427 bore when you put those sleeves in I can think of. I wonder what a sleeve setup like that costs vs an aftermarket LSX block. Is it more? or less? Hell of an accomplishment either way... Did they say if he was on a nitro mix that pass?
