Default Can I?

i am about to buy either A&A vortech kit and keep it stock or mti head cam packg with afr205's i would want around 430 to 450 now but eventually more. no higher than 525 to 550.i want to be faster than a new c6 z06 (stock) if i get the H/C, now could i upgrade to this block later and only replace the bottom end. if so what liter is this motor how much would it cost to buy the block and the bottom end for it. what do people expect this motor to put down n/a with afr 205's. would this be cheaper than ls6 block with darton sleeve kit. thanks to anyone with info advice or comments. i would love to eventually get 500 to 550 rwhp with out a extreme cam n/a. but doing any company 427 kit is to expensive compared to forced induction. Thanks

This block has the capability to go to 511 cubes. I'd say that if you were planning on adding the cubes too it, then the AFR 205's aren't going to feed this Beast. A perfect combo if you have a big budget, would be this block, a 4.250-4.5" crank, a 4.125" bore(can go bigger, but why make a grenade block in which it blows up, and then you have to throw it away or end up sleeving it anyway), and a set of ETP LS7 heads, and a good sized hydraulic roller cam. This combo would get you 482-511 cubes and with a relatively small, streetable cam, my guess would be 600+ rwhp pretty easily and torque out your whazoo! It'd be so Cool!
