Default Inquiry - Largest Big Block In A C5? 427? 502? 572?

I was just curious to know what's the largest street engine big block you can realistically fit into a C5? (without hacking into the body or frame)

427?

502?

572?

None of the above. The 427's you see in C5's are either LS7's, Sleeved and stroked LS2's, or sleeved LS1 or LS6 blocks.

Plus now we have the new LSX block to choose from which will allow up to 482ci motor in a C5...
