Default LMG 5.3L bore out to 4.0"

I have a quick question. can you bore a 5.3L to a 4 in bore? I have done the research but the results were inconclusive. the reason why I ask is because when I started my build I was going to bore my LS1 to a 4" bore. i didnt realize how little cylinder wall the LS had. now i am having difficulty finding a LQ4/9 for a good price. So I started to try and find different blocks that I could poossibly bore out. So far all I have found is the 5.3, which is what i have in my truck. Is it possible to go so far out with the LMG?
