This set up makes a 370 ci engine right? Pretty much any 370 iron buildup thread should be helpful to you.

A shorter answer to your question is: "not really"

A 370 is typically a stock stroke and a 4.030" bore.

A 4.0" stroke in an LQ4 should make at least 402ci.

Its not that different, you dont have to run a special cam lifters or anything like that. Some aftermarket stroker kits actually have the clearance built into them. I clearanced my block for the crank, but My rods were not an issue at all. You will need to space your windage tray up, I just used washers. Be sure to get a cam and heads to take advantage of the build, that will make the most out of the extra cubes.. Hope this helps.
