Thats not a short block its a bare block.
I spoke to my dealer contact, and the ls7 block is in the as yet unreleased gmpp catalog. There is no price, but my guess is $4000-$4500 due to the fact that the block has pressed in sleeves.

And in answer to the standard question about the engine, the coil packs were relocated to under the front fenders, so that you can see the Katech high rise rocker covers - they were too pretty to keep covered up.

Why not look at the World Performance block? It can be bored just as much and cost a couple thousand less than the C5R block.

At these prices i think i'll stick to stock displacement. Wish i could afford to dish out the big money.

I just pointed out another option, that costs just a bit more than a sleeved block and quite a bit less than the Battle Tested C5R block. Good Luck!
