I personally don't know of anyone on here knows about a shortblock 8.1. Were however were talking about this but never came to a decision how far the block could be honed also it would be very expensive. I hope someone here has a better answer for you.

I am going to build a motor for my suburban and have not decided for a big block 540 or 557 or the blown 496 with a built bottom end 30 over and like 10-12 psi from the whipple intercooled. How do people like the whipple? Is is a nice package? I have the 4l80 trans and am going to build that sucker up so it will hold the power.
