had a look on www.pro-touring.com where i got the info from, but there was no mention of price, just a comment that they are very expensive. (if the yanks say its expensive then it most certainly is)

Here's an interesting comment from the same thread -

well im not sure what you consider very expensive, but dart is coming up with a new billet block for lsx engines which they say is 7x stronger the c5r..
BTW agony - glad someone can appreciate a real engine around here :

It would be worth finding out.
Be awesome to have mine polished top to bottom with the blower and all. Dont fancy the cleaning side of things but make for a great looking engine bay!
Yes Rayman some people just cant accept the fact that there are different brands out there.
I cant wait to get mine finished and out there to be enjoyed and am proud to have a chev in it.

Mmm chev!!! That looks awesome.

Is it wrong to be having thoughts of a 350 chev conversion before the current engine has even been started yet?
