I am finally goin to start buildig the motor for my corvette. I picked up a used ls1 block from a guy for $200 and I wanted to build a 383 stroker. Not sure what cam and heads I'm gonna use yet, mainly cuz I'm kinda new to all this still but I got a buddy who said he would help but I had to know what I wanted to build and get the parts. Back to the 383 I know your supposed to actually bore out the cylinder walls. Anybody know a shop in the southeast that would do it mainly in SC, and what should it cost. also if I don't want to bore them out I have stock pistons and rods could I still use those with the I think it would be a 4.000 crank (the crank for a 383). Any input would be great guys. Also what head and cam setup should I go for if I did a 383 to be at 450-500rwhp/ tq

Thanks

Guess should say that it's going to be pretty much a DD so I stil kinda want some drivability. Just a weekend cruiser kinda car

The stock pistons and rods won't work with a 4" crank. A typical 383ci rotating assembly consists of the 4" crank, 6.125" length connecting rods, and pistons for a 3.905" (+/-.003") bore. Since the stock bore is ~3.898", you do not need to bore the cylinders, they just get honed.
