I took the shortblock to school and disasembled the bottom end and was very dissapointed
#6 rod connecting rod bearing took a dump, must have had an head gasket/oiling issue was overreved.

So after all this and 30 minutes of being pissed off, I decided to build an LS7 and stroke the **** out of the motor. Im leaning towardsa texas speed 7.0 kit, with that in mind I want to get atleast 427 Cubic Inches out of her. The motor almost weighs as much as the stock KA24de
I decided on this Rotating assembly
Texas Speed & Performance rotating assemblies offer the best durability with the best pricing available! Our 438 and 441 C.I.D. LS7/LSx rotating assemblies come standard with your choice of a forged Callies Compstar 4.10" or 4.125" stroke crankshaft, Texas Speed & Performance H-Beam 6.125" connecting rods with ARP 8740 rod bolts, and Mahle-8cc flat-top pistons, wrist pins, and plasma moly piston ring set. Callies offers both a 4.10" and 4.125" stroke crankshaft, which we have listed. All of the piston sets listed will work with either stroke crankshaft; The 4.10" stroke crankshaft will require a slightly shorter block deck height vs. the 4.125" in order to achieve a "zero deck" setup.

Need a new block or you need to sleeve the LS1 to be able to fit pistons in there over 3.905" diameter. You can fit up to a 4.125" stroke in there, though, which would give you a 395cid engine out of the LS1.
The only problem is your ring lands would be pretty shallow. For an NA motor it's fine.
