Default RHS LS Race Block Capable of 500ci

Has anybody ran this block or have any additional info on it? Heard about it today and it looks pretty nice. Any info on it is appreciated. Here is a link to the block. http://www.racingheadservice.com/lsblock/

Almost, but it's limited on max bore size to get to 500ci.

***correction...it can get to 500ci with a 4.6" stroked crank.

I wish they went with ductile iron sleeves instead of the cast iron sleeves. The block is beautiful though. Make sure you order with the optional longer sleeves.

That RHS block looks nice, but I'd rather buy the new LSX short deck block and save some money for CNC ported L92 heads and 427 rotating assembly. Nice looking block though.
