Actually the 4.8/5.3/6.0 Block does exist But they are very rare and hard to find. I have never come across one But W2W and LPE have worked with them and documented there existance. There are a few pictures in the How to build LS1's Book. Page 115 and again on page 116 for example. You have to look close at the few pictures but it is there. W2W is long gone but you can contact LPE about them.
Mainly would like to know if the cylinder thickness is any bettter or worse im wanting to do a 370 with boost..

So i might contact LPE but figured you might be easier to reach first, know anything more about these blocks now that you didnt back then in 2010? I picked up a bare block today and sure enough it has 6.0/5.3/4.8 all cast on it..

I almost bought a complete engine but I couldn't justify the price just to get the block.
What is the casting number on the block?
I believe I spoke with Jason Haines regarding this.
They wouldn't be any worse for boost that's for sure.

Thanks for the pictures! If you dig it out any time soon I would like some more.
I am not sure what you are referring to when you ask about "the recess on the top back for the oil galleys, just two holes?"
If you're asking if its just 2 oil galley holes in the back of the block, Yes. All the iron blocks are like that.

Only the later LS1 or LS6 aluminum blocks received that pocket.
