Default 8.3 liter block?

I had a magazine (cant find it now) that had pics of an 8.3L block. It had a plate about 1" thick bolted to the deck.

Anybody know who made it or have a link?

TIA.

I found it. It's erlperformance, a ricer company and it's called the Superdeck 2. With a custom 4.5" crank it can make 500 ci.

Mallet got one of the first ones.

I believe it's an iron longblock, this would be an aluminum shortblock.

It's a LS2 block with plates added to raise the deck height, it makes up to a 499ci LSX.
