I don't think DART makes anything for the LT1. TFS has some nice LT1 heads that you can actually get fairly easily and they are decent castings for porting as well. You can "make" LT1 heads out of regular castings as well but I prefer to use ones setup from the get go with all their heat treat still in them.

I think the biggest you can go on an LTX block is around 408-409 cubic inches..

People who can type in readable English can have more cubic inches.

There used to be a vette in Houston that supposedly had a 421ci LT1 in it. Of course the guy also owned a shop that was known for its scams.

Yeah, also there is almost no room for a piston any more at that stroke length and block size. There may be technology soon to allow a little more stroke but it's not here yet.
