LS2 402 short block at SDPC!
Plans
1. With new longblock via 4.12" liners and steel 4" crank
or
2. just siting around trying to figure out what else I can mortgage over the next year and a half to afford a C6 Z06.
You have given me a lot to think about because I have been a hot rodder for 40 years. Anybody worth a %@#$% can make at least 600 rwhhp with 7L. I don't know how many of you realize just how much de-tuning Chevy did on their new LS7 but they did quite a lot of back peddaling to end up are 518 crank hp. Seems like they got concerned about giving us a better way of killing our selves. Go Figure!
I think it would probably be a whole bunch more fun kickin around in a C5 on steroids. I'm glad I ran accross this thread.

Also, how well do you guys suppose an ls2 intake and TB will do on this motor versus an ls6 or fast setup? Last I saw, the ls2 intake wasnt doing so well on stock cubed ls1's, just wondering how it would do on a 402...

We have a customer that completed one of our 402 short blocks with a set of Lingenfelter CNC ported LS6 heads (65.5cc) & a GM grand cup cam, compression is about 10.8. I believe it made somerwere around 570hp & around 515 ft lbs of torque. He was using the LS6 intake and a ported tb.
