I am having mine done to 4.185 right now. Should not affect the cooling at all.

If it's a dry sleeve (meaning it's not touching any of the water jackets) then it should have no effect on cooling ability of the original block.

ERL hooked me up with a LS2 434ci (4.155 bore) dry sleeve short block. Cooling effect is a OK for me.

No will not go 8's with the heads and intake I have. Plan someday is for a full tilt set of mast ls7 305. I don't have $5000 to spend.

I need to get my 79z28 swap done after I build a new shop .

Cool. That's what my 72 Camaro is all about, Just with an LS3. That Vintage air is nice this time of year.

Sorry about the jack, OP.

I might put a ls2 cam and intake on the 5.3 so It will make 400 but will have holley manifolds on it. Nothing race about it Hope to see 25 mpg drive it anywhere.
