HPR made a 468 LS that someone is testing in a C5 track car. I'm kind of surprised they managed to squeeze 468 cubes into a standard deck height LS block, but apparently it fits.

You can probably fit in a 572 or something, but it'd be really heavy. There's no replacement for displacement ... but if you can get away with it, just use boost to get to your target power level - remember, you can fit 454 (or more, probably) cubic inches with an LSX or LSx-variant.

I totally agree, but the OP wanted to know if it could be/had been done. Obviously, an LSX is a saner option, or even just forced induction. A lot cheaper, too.
