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.

We could sell you a full Manley rotating assembly for a good price! We can even assemble it for you. This would be the same setup we use in engines less then 800hp. PM me if you would like details and prices.
