383 is about it. A 408 is a 4.030" bore with a 4.0" stroke, but you can't go to a 4.030" bore in an LS1 block with stock sleeves, so it's not really an option. You can go up to a 3.905" bore and 4.0" stroke for 383ci.
You could put in a 4.125" stroke crank, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a well seasoned engine builder. It's a little tricky and turn into a disaster if not done properly.
