It was and still may be a consideration. Just curious if anyone had actually attempted or had successfully done it for any length of substantial time. I know an LSX or Dart block would be a optimum candidate but they’re not available. Not looking for a one hit wonder.

At some point, the block just comes apart. These are only four bolt heads, but really, if you have everything else that it requires to make 2000hp, just get a race block.
2000hp is 40-50 psi of boost, methanol, and so forth. At that point the only GM part would be the block.

You are asking in the wrong place. Go on Yellowbullet Turbo forums and there are also some other turbo specific websites out there. They are the ones pushing the limits. The most I have heard of is 1500whp from a stock block. If you are shooting for a record, you really should start w/ a 5.3 iron block. At that level, it's all cylinder wall thickness and keeping the crankshaft in the block. I have heard of 1600+ on iron 5.3's, but no idea how long they last. Tune-up is everything at that level.
BTW, to put this in perspective, you are going to have a $5000+ rotating assembly in a $150 block(5.3) or $1000 block(6.0)....

I think you’d be crazy to attempt to put this together with anything less than an big dollar aftermarket block. Call around, you’ll find one. Even a used aftermarket block would be a far better starting point than a Gen3/4/5 GM block. Your going to split the block and cost yourself a small fortune at that boost level. Shoot…I’d call ProLine and skip the entire LS adventure for power like that. Prolly cheaper in the long run after you puke the guts out of the LS enough times.

I don't think I'd push a stock block 6.0 with a 4" stroke. Stock stroke less stress. Maybe with a sleeved block (thicker too, more stable). Setup motor to go 8800rpm with methanol and see how much it can handle.
Nigel and stock block 5.3 is somewhere around 1800+ (others can chime in)
SBE 4.8 1300+
