Talking about needing an aftermarket block with 400+ cubes and "going into battle" sure sounds like a race motor?

It's restricting him because they don't make the block he wants (needs?)... That's a big reason go to "hey you know what, screw this!" I just dont think the "better cooling" of an LT1 is really all that superior to an aftermarket block conventional SBC when you factor in the price to do it. Also filling the block would definitely decrease that "superior cooling" on a major scale.
