Anything can be done with enough time and money. This work is fascinating.

The open deck fix appears more stable.
Do the closed deck liner lock together or are they 4 independent units per cylinder bank?

$15,000US for blockwork alone is nothing to sneeze at. AES bigbore block packages start at $8500 So would we be looking at $30,000+ to drop off a car then pick it back up later on.

What happens if one of these monsters lets go, is there any warranty or are these considered raceparts?
I realize you gotta pay to play, but I'm curious. There has to be a best bang for buck combination, but with so many criteria choosing the correct setup as a customer or supplying the correct setup as a vendor has to be a daunting task. STock, reground or custom cams, displacement, fuel economy, driveability(street manners), durability, high rpm/low throttle oil control, so many choices, so much money, so much boosted or deflated reputations. The stakes are huge.
Hotrodding is such an interesting pastime, hotrodding such a limited run engine like the LT5 is even more interesting.
I'm still deciding if a ZR-1 would be right for me, I eat these discussions up like candy.
