RHS seems to get all the votes here. I believe MTI used that one to get 500 CI. Anyone have data on that motor? Interested in going to 500 CI but dont know if my accessories will bolt right up or not. Also, would i need a different set of headers?
What would be the cost of such a short block or a long block with matching heads, WCCH, TSP or PI, fully assembled.
cheers

The LSX tall deck package will "go" into anything that an LS engine came out of. The problem would be all the other parts fitting. As well as the likely hood that you will have to space the cradle down. And cut quite a few parts etc. I guess the question you should ask is, is the HP per $$$ worth it? Honestly a very nice 454 would work.
As far as road racing, there are plenty of guys that do it with 402+ in a standard deck in both iron and alum all day with no problems.
Sometimes shooting for the moon will land you with problems. Alot of them have not been specifically addressed because the tall decks are relatively expensive and new.
Good luck on whatever you do. I am sure if you want an LSX block or even an RHS, we can build one to suite as well.

We've built LS7 RHS tall deck, Callies 4.500" crank, Compstar 6.440" rod, Wiseco Piston. 488ci
Eagle has a 4.375" crank, 1.888" honda rod journal, 6.460" rod, 1.110" CH piston, nice setup for a strictly N/A engine.
We have one going on the dyno soon. 475ci.
You Could use 4.250" crank, 6.560" rod, 1.050-.060 CH piston
Having the piston in the hole .010" not a bad idea on large bore builds.
