For the cost to do an LS1 block you could buy a nice aftermarket block that's better suited for these kinds of builds though.

I still have my original block but unfortunately the No. 6 rod gave way and did a real nice clearance job on the 6 and 5 sleeves.

Depends on the end goal. Showing people a stock engine with no boost then putting up huge numbers can be fun. It's also fun when you're limited to a stock block in a racing class. Not everyone wants flashy branded parts.

You can build a 427 or even a 454 utilizing an LS1 block and I'm pretty sure it was done long before the LS3's and 7's came along. It's just not recommended to go over 4.00 in stroke and even that is pushing it from what I've read but people push the envelope all the time so to each his own and by all means carry on..
