I know its not recomended but who has done this? I have heard it can be done. I have a ls1 block that needs bored and a set of stock ls2 pistons.

If you're gonna bore it, try for 3.936". If it cleans up there, you can get it honed to 3.94", order rings for a 0.030" overbored Mopar Magnum 5.2L, then order custom forged pistons to match, and have more safety margin than trying for 4.00".
But it might be cheaper to just buy a used LQ4.

hard to say how long it will last. ive seen cylinder walls break open on gen 1 blocks. i think for the "chance" labor you had the machine shop put into this I would have tried sleeves for a fun chance. go big right off the bat
let us know how it goes. might just find the walls distort after time and poor sealing of the rings is all that happens
