^ Sheesh, thats pretty steep. Good thing I am never planning on making enough power to where I will need a warhawk or this one. 700~800whp on the factory available aluminum blocks will be no issue.

The block was not machined, but the pad for LS1 cam sensor was back in the rear of the block. This is one of the top improvements for guys that want COP with a Jesel belt.

Will have BOTH gen III (valley) and gen IV (side) knock sensor provisions
Will have gen III cam sensor provision, or you can use a gen IV front cover cam sensor (will require modified front cover, with raised sensor boss, will be available from RHS too)
can run with gen III or gen IV valley covers and oil pressure sensors
max bore is 4.165 (remember, aluminum block) and with a 4.6 stroke this equals 502 CID. 502 inches ought to be good for you.

I was just stating that it had atleast the recommended bore to be able to use them that's all
Take this block and turn it into a 502 LS9 type motor, hmmmmmmm. i also like the fact of possible lifter access through the valley instead of lifting the heads off. Might not enough room though, but might be possible...
