Default LS2 shortblock

Is it possible to buy a stock ls2 shortblock? I've seen the blocks and complete engines for sale, but no shortblocks. I don't have the need for a forged bottom end, just want a little more cubes.

Is this a completely stripped block, or does it come with the basics like main caps, cylinder liners, and machining already done? Or does this mean you have to get the parts mentioned and get a hone, align bore, etc.

Basically, do I have to do any work to the block to assemble a motor as long as I am staying with the stock bore.

It comes with main caps and all. All you have to do is start to assemble.
