Be safe over there -
If you want to keep your existing block, have you considered sending it to ERL for Superdeck treatment? You can get a very stout 427 short block back for $6600 and all your existing external parts are sure to fit. 4.125 inch bore opens up a lot of head options but you could use yours in the interim until you saved up even more $$. 600 rwhp is a real possibility with the right heads & cam - would really wake up the WS6.

I wasn't really aware that you could take an ls1 that far in displacement. I guess not for that reasonably priced anyways. This is now a definite possibility. I would looooove to be able to hit the 600 rwhp mark, but Im trying not to get too far ahead of myself lol
Any personal experience with this route or ERL in general???

Thanks..........thats pretty solid. Definitely alot harder than I will be pushing it. It will be extremely little drag use. Im looking for a really nice full weight street monster that will make you either *** or **** your pants, depending on whether you are like us or normal people.

And that thing will be a monster once you get a killer heads/intake combo
