it would be a new motor. they would probably stick with hypereutectic pistons in a n/a motor as well as they have a more optimum thermal expansion coefficient and you don't need a forged piston in that power range at all.
you pull the blower off and lt4 and you probably just have a 400-425hp motor.
my ls7 lasted perfectly for 5 years but I was stock. I did inspect the valve train geometry based on the paranoia around the platform though.

I agree, it would be much more complex than just 'removing a blower'. But I was referencing the forged internals in particular for strength and reliability for an N/A motor.
Thanks.
