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.

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.
