If you're asking if a 383 crank will fit in your current LS1 block, the answer is yes. However, you'll need machine work and some clearencing, new rods, bearings and pistons. They usually make a little more hp and a lot more torque, all depends how BIG you go on the head & cam side.
Mine makes 455rwhp 440rwtq. My cam is a very streetable 236/238

building a good, powerful stroker involves a lot more then just honing the block, throwing a new crank in, and carefully throwin some parts together. its a system, which needs to be designed with an end goal in mind. once you figure out what you really want out of your stroker, then its time to start looking into parts.
