3.908 (347ci) is about the biggest you can hone a ls1 with out resleaving, witch is not worth the $$$. You can stroke the ls1 to gain some ci.

Nope, sorry man, but if you need .010 you don't have enough without resleeving.

How much does it cost to re sleeve these blocks? I would think it would be more cost effective to re sleeve with the bore you want rather than buying a 408 or 414 ls2?

IIRC, it's cheaper to buy a new block and swap everything over.
