What is the weak link above 500 rwhp?
So the liners sound more like a brace. If you have a link to someone that sells them for the Z..lemme know. I havent been able to locate them. Since the car you are refering to is a race car...they may be custom fabricated or something?

Anyone know if the VG30's have the same bellhousing bolt pattern?

The motor they're building now will have sleeves and a closed deck... The 1300hp motor just had liners... If the motors are still at the machine shop next week I'll take some pictures to show you the differences.

i'd definatley be interested in info on the liners... and how they install. My bottom is already assembled at SGP... do you know if they can still put them in without dissassembling the bottom? I plan to run as close as I can to 600WHP +/- so id definatley be in...
I'm taking a trip down to the machine shop this week and I'll take some pics of the different configurations, AEBS, Darton Liners, and below are some for the Darton MID... I'll also take some pics of the torque plate, and other tools that are used for balancing the motor...
I'll ask Weston to take some step by step pics from start to finish on the work I'm getting done to my block if your want them...

This is based on my experience with OTHER cars (not the Z).
Once you build the engine, you may have troubles with:
Clutch and pressure plate (they explode)
U-joints and CV joints (they break)
rear differential gears and limited-slip or posi unit (I stripped the ring gear once)
rear axles shafts (they break)
tires and traction problems (burn, bounce, & even broken lugs)
Bottom line: You gotta pay to play.
