rebuilding ls1
how far can the cylinder walls be bored on a 98 ls1, what else should i be looking at doing while i am rebuilding.
already am planing on cam install, oil pump, bearings, seals, gaskets ect. planning on using stock crank, what all can be done at a reasonable price for parts as im going to be doing most of the work?

A 98 block should have a 3.898 bore stock, the most GM recommends for a rebuild of the early blocks is a .005 hone. That brings you to 3.903.
Any 5.3 casting will work on a '98 block, its the 98 heads that won't work on later blocks. And the LS6 manifold will also work fine.
