2005 gm performance catalog[they don't offer a crate motor though,only bare parts to build one] is one place or you can contact katech[they build the c5r motor and caddy motors for pratt&miller],ECS,or any of the other vendors that build motors.

Just get a LS2 stroked to 402ci and put a good flowing set of ETP heads on it. It will make gobs more power than a 502 crate motor and bolt right in... A well built 402LS2 will make 625+HP at the motor and 500+rwhp...
Here is a good list of Vendors' forged shortblocks...So for under $10K it can be done...A&A corvettes and ECS both have real good reputations...

puttin a 502 or a 572 in a c5 vette would be like screwin a 90 year old *****....not worth it.
Unless, you were doing a complete drag car. Zdifferent rear end, and trans.
Now a c5r would bolt in nicely..and utilize the existing tunnel and such.
