Default How good is a resleeved ls1 block

I tryed the search and couldnt find anything but how good/strong is a resleeved ls1 block (if all work was done correctly) at 427 cid. Would it be able to handle boast or nitrious? how would it compare to a stroked l92 block? Im just thinking about a new motor i want to build next year and i have an old ls1 block and wanted to know if it would be worth reusing it. The 2 motors would either be a resleeved ls1 427 with trickflow 235 or stroked l92 416 trickflow 235 both would see a decent shot of nitrious and maybe a turbo if money allows. So would a resleeved ls1 be worth it?

same cast normally as a crate... as long as you go forged internals (bottom end) she'll take the abuse

an LS1 block is rated to a 1K hp so the block can handle the power and the resleeving is only as good as the shop who does it, so do your home work and make sure the shop is up to par. Apart from that a good resleeving can get you what ever you want.

Darton MID resleeved GenIII LS block here. 427ci. built around '02/'03 by MTI out of Houston. As long as the machine work is done right and everything, you shouldn't have any problems with the block/sleeves
