Short of buying a C5R or LS7 block, you'll need a re-sleeved LS1 or LS2 block to get to a 4.125" bore like the 7.0 genIIIs. There are sponsers that sell them here --->

The 427 should do in the 550 rwhp area and 500+ rwtq. The 440 is a solid roller race engine. I can't say what this one should make. My customer would not appreciate it. Both of these are based on our Dominator series engine platforms.

this might be a cheaper alternative......... get the 6.0 liter iron block, bored .060 over w/ a 4.125" stroke crank. you'll save money on the block, and machining. i don't know how much more the crank is from the usual 4" stroker cranks.

Would that make 447ci, Cause i dont know anyone that has that in there F-body yet, Im not saying there isnt anyone, If anyone has one of these let me know what kinda power your putting down.
Mikey I might be in touch soon, I looked today and my heads are leaking around the top seal where the blaster coils are
, good excuse for a new motor though

Champ the LS2 is the new Alloy 6.0, the ls2 has a lot more meat supporting the bores & can be sleeved (with a stroker crank) to give you 427ci,
Iron or alloy depends on budget, weight restraints, future development possibilities

MTI had the shortblock package for a while... looks like they dropped it. but this guy 02bluess has it, with MTI heads and a BIG MTI cam. if i had the money i would have done that. but i didn't so i went with an iron block 402 shortblock.
