Default 6.2 or 416 stroker?

Hey I’m new to forums but recently I got my hands on an lq4 for cheap and was wondering if I should simply just bore it out to a 6.2 or stroke it out to a 416 ( if possible) since I’ll already be putting forged internals for extra reliability and there isn’t really much of a price difference in the kits I believe. What I plan to do with the motor is just a street friendly build this motor will be in a cruiser vehicle so it’s gonna be at low rpm’s most of the time but will occasionally see w.o.t here and there. I know most might say to do a 408 stroker but for personal reasons I’d rather do the first two options.

If you're staying NA and the block is able go to .065 then build the 416.

do you think it’s safe to bore it .070 and put a 4” stroke instead?

You'd need to get the bores sonic tested to determine that.
