So I assume it comes with the ERL "Super Deck" block at that price? It didn't even list any options as far as the block goes. Whats the skinny on the "Super Deck" as far as what casting it is? Is it a production block that's been messed around with? At that price I don't see it being an aftermarket casting but I could be wrong. What kind of hp/tq is this thing built to handle at that price?

I believe it's a standard alum LS-1 block. If you get to this page, it states: "Stock sleeves removed" and "CNC machined ductile iron sleeves installed"

On that note, It would sure be nice for NemeSS or someone from Morris Motorsports to come on here and clear this up. Is this a Darton mid setup?

the 427 is built around a LS2,LS3,L92 aluminum block and machined and assembled with ERL design cylinder sleeves. they also come with the option of being machined for 1/2in. head bolts or studs and main studs among other feartures.

the Super Deck ERL can be built using a LS1,LS2,LS3,L92 block.
and also comes with the same options of 1/2in. head bolts or studs
along with main studs and many other features.
all engines are assembled using Callies crankshaft and connecting rods, with Wiseco application specific pistons and premium bearings and components.
contact info is posted on the site's front page.
Morris goes by screenname GEN414 here on and all other forums.

the 427 is built using LS2,LS3,L92 Alum block. not LS1, however the LS1 can be used for the ERL Super Deck.
the sleeves used are ERL design ductile iron dry sleeve.
