Ls 4.8 ? How far can I bore a LS 4.8 ? I mean can I bore to 4" without sleeving ? I think I already know the answer but I just confirming so any help will be deeply appreciated, thanks !
can go up to around for 3.897-3.9 bore from 3.78
but that is alot of metal to remove. over .120.
i have always just gone .060. which is fine. also these size pistons are shelf items for press on stock rods.

Thanks ! My dad wants my LS2 rods and pistons I'm using on my LQ9 build but I told him that they were to big and that he could not bore that much on a 4.8/5.3 without resleeving but he seems to think his block has 4.8/6.0 on it instead of 4.8/5.3. Oh well, he should be able to use my crank and that should bring him up to 5.3 if he uses my rods too. I have a lot of body work to do on my 67' so engine stuff ins't that important to me anymore.
