Default Does stock 6.0L block and stroker crank = 396

If a stroker crank gives you a 383 in a stock LS1 block and if you use that crank in a bored .030 over 6 liter block which give you around 406 cubes, if you didn't bore the 6.0l block, would it be a 396?

A stock bore 6.0 is 4.001"

The crank you're talking about is a 4.00" stroke crank.

This combination would give you a 402. Weren't most of the later cars that were badged "396", actually 402s?

If you're really hung up on getting a 396, you could take a stock 346 and bore it .010 (maybe) and use the big Lunati 4.125" crank for 396. Or a 4.125" resleeve with a stock crank offset ground will yeild 396. Or a 6.0 liter bored .060 (you'll need to sonic test for core shift first) and use the Scat 3.8" stroke crank, which gives 393.

How much does a honing take out on a stock un-touched block?

You can safely bore out to 4.030, and push the limit with 4.060 on an iron block. Honing does very little to a bore size.
