Can't wait to build up a 427 LT1 on E85 next year! Guess I'll have some 385 parts for sale soon!

I know some don't care, but I find it pretty cool that they really did go through with this.

I believe bores will be either 4.000 or 4.125, no clearancing needed on up to 3.75" crank and stock deck height I believe. These are the options for the SBC SHP blocks, so I assume the same for the LT1 block.

If they are like the SBC $1532.60, I might be tempted...

I might buy one also if they aren't ridiculous, and I'll understand if they are...

Well I'm glad I held my breath and put my stock-block build on hold earlier this year. Just one more option for us

So you are going from stock block to after market everything? That is quite the build change!
