For an FI application of that magnitude the more durable block would be iron. If you went with the 6.0 iron block you could swap your ls1 stuff right over and not have to bother with the conversion stuff and cover kit. Just a thought, its only 75 lbs, you will never feel it.

I've already ordered my LS2 402. I assumed it would be a pretty easy swap and I would be able to reuse most of the parts from my LS1. Please let us know what all you needed to change.
