    Cool

    Where can I find a 4.125" bore GenIII block?

    I know the aluminum ones can go that way once resleeved, but can an iron 6.0 take an 1/8" overbore?

    Nope, 4.06 is pushing it.

    You'll have to get an aftermarket block for that size.

    Only luck I came up with is a new resleeved LS2 block.

    The new Warlock block will go that large. It will cost about the same as a resleeved LS2 and be a lot stronger with additional bolt holes for the heads.

    Heads. They're probably out. LOL Been in the Euro scene for a while.

    What's the scoop on the block?

    I have an insider at Whipple, I need my bud to put the lean on them for a 6.2 lower...

    Also, what's the cost on the block?

    I'm not sure. you may have to buy them direct. maybe tbyrne, speed engineering, nelson performance or trtturbo can get you an awesome deal on one. they are usually more expensive if you buy directly from the manufacturer at msrp.
