The block will have to be resleeved (dry or wet) and fitted with a stroker assembly.
My advice is talk to Steve D. at R.E.D >>>>> sponsor.
He is the only one I would 100% trust for this.
Why? because he is the develloper/pioneer of this procedure.

Better off doing an LS2 402. That is just a stroker crank. I believe 383 is the biggest you can go on just stroke. To get the 427, you need to bore the block, which requires re-sleeving an LS1 block.

Still finishing the boost controller. It's almost done. It looks REALLY nice. I should be doing some tuning tomorrow. I would love to have the car done for Saturday RSD but I don't think thats going to happen. Jim doesn't tune on Saturday
