after sitting downn and see what i want the car to do im gona go with a stroker motor. Im new to the LS1 scene (had a LT1) I assume when u do a stroker motor in a LS1 you have to do all the same clearnacing as a LT1 or SBC rite ?

jerflash

no i dont think you have to do any with a 4"

with a 4.125" i think you have to clerance the #8 piston

to go with a 4in bore u have to Re-Sleve the block rite

jerflash

or buy a new ls2 block from sdpc

nah i dont want a ls2 block

jerflash

y not ????

2MuchRiceMakesMeSick

Probably price...

jerflash

1000 is not bad and 1500 less then a sleeved block and no worries about droping a sleeve

not too many people have dropped a Darton MID sleeve.....unless they were REALLY trashin their motor. but do you know if anyone has sonic tested an LS2 block yet for bore limits?

I have a LS1 block already. i will be buying a eagle 383 rotating assembly for it real soon. I just wana no if there is any clearancing that needs to be done for a 4in stroke crank

jerflash

oh in that case no

SSPerformance

So let me get this stright There is no clearancing needed for a 4.0 stroke crank how much bigger can u go befor you need to clearance the block

jerflash

4.125 you need to clerance the #8 piston a lil bit

i would contact the manufacturer and ask.. to make 100%sure.

Atleast it keeps machine work cost down

I think it depends on the crank, but my 4" Callies crank required clearencing of the block on all cylinders. If you get diamond pistons, the #8 piston should be clearenced already. Once again, APE can answer all these questions and prolly give you the best deal on a complete motor so you don't have to worry about any of it.

i will be runing a eagle 4in crank if this helps

Like the others said before, there shouldn't be any problem w/ block intereference, but you have to watch for piston clearance for the reluctor wheel.

Double check the reluctor wheel. The windage tray might need to be spaced away from the crank. Just double and tripple check everything.

A 4.000" crank in a 5.7 aluminum block generally = notching the block. On the iron block you generally don't have to notch.

Thanks
