when are we gonna see one, how is it gonna be setup, and is it really possible? i mean weve seen soo much crazy stuff in the ls1 world this would seem to be the icing on the cake.

 

Not any way to do it right now really. You could get close but no cigar! Maybe with other blocks possibly or a tall deck version in the future?

 

You won't see one without a tall deck aftermarket block. The block will also need a raised cam and kicked out walls to clear the stroke.

With a 4.200" bore, you will need to swing a 4.500" arm to get 499".

I'd venture to say that the 427CI LS7 engine is punched and stroked just about to the max already. I was real impressed with that, to be honest, even after knowing that people are making 454CI small-blocks out of Gen II motors. But who knows??? GM's CEO/president/marketing VP/guy who says what happens/(insert title here)may be trolling this site waiting to see what we V8 fans are looking for in the aftermarket.

 

well World products are releasing a new block and heads (with 6 bolts per cylinder!!!) and i think thye can strech that to 454! and thats on an Ally block!!

have a look in the FI section on this board for infomation.

thanks Chris.
