You could sell your LS2 Long block for about $2k (I think, maybe a little more, maybe a little less). So you might be able to get into a 402 Short Block w/Heads for less than $3k net. This block is good for something ridiculous, to like 1,500HP all day long, so you could spray in stages up to absurd levels for the strip, but keep the 402 NA for the road course. Yes it's heavier than the aluminum block, roughly 100lbs I think.
heypal has given some good additional info.

About the steel block I'm talking about, it's also siamese bored. It's pretty much a full on thrasher block. Can go up to 463ci.
