cubic inch ls1 questions
In order to bore/stroke a motor you change the bottem end components. To stroke you would change crank/rods to desired stroke. In an LS1's case a 4.000" stroke and 3.905" bore is the most you can go safely. That will net you 383ci. You can't really bore an LS1.. you just hone the cylinders slightly.
Your stock crank has a 3.622" throw, which means your piston travels 3.622 inches down in the cylinder. By putting in a 4.000" (stroker) crank your piston now travels 4.000 inches down in your cylinder adding around 4.5 cubic inches of space in every cylinder.
