Default More info on LS erl block?

I ordered a brand new LS7 block and after reading up and checking out the website I noticed the ERL dry sleeved block for 1550$. Is that total cost or just labor cost? I already have an LS2 block and it seems as though this might be a better way to a 427 then going with an LS7 block. Also, if I do this with the 4.125" bore can I run an LS7 top end? Seems like a no brainer.....thoughts on this?

i bought the ERL M7 package short block, the 454 cu in for $5,000.00 plus $1,200.00 for the core charge. that was about ten thousand miles ago. very pleased with how well it has held up. the stronger sleeves and forged bottom probably have much to do with this.
now having a carbon fiber prop shaft installed after twisting the stock one.
