You realize the price on their site does not include re-sleeving your LS6 block, right? You can't bore out an OEM LS6 to 4.125"

Is there any particular reason you want to use an LS6 instead of some other block which can be converted without sleeving?

If you also have a bunch of extra money laying around then get it sleeved and use it. Otherwise, I would sell it and buy a different block for a 427 build.

It depends on what you want to do with the car. Mostly on the street? Road racing or drag? Are you keeping it NA only or nitrous/boost later on.....? Planning ahead will same you $$$ later on.

Here's a bunch of info on my build. First as a 403 and then as a 427.

Good reading if you're serious.
