You can run a 4.000" Crank without a problem in a LS1. 4.000" Crank with a Stock Bore is a 383, I don't think a LS1 will take a .030 over-bore.

4.00" stroke and a 3.905 bore = 383

remember when adding stroke , the pistons will move up and down quicker than normal . as long as it is built right you should be ok . otherwise may have to drop your rev limiter down .
