Max stroke on LS1?
Max stroke on LS1? If I am going to rebuild my motor someday and replace the rotating assembly anyways I figure, why not stroke it? What's the max cube I can get to just stroking? Thanks!

The most you can do on the stock sleeves is 4.125. Anything longer and the crank will pull the piston down to far in the bore, which will cause you to have to have a short ring stack that may not be suitable for much more than a mild N/A application.
