The bore is 4.030".

I believe that yours would be 402 cubic inches. LME did my block and the block was brand new. But they bored the block anyway. Seems like if you use moly rings you have to re-bore.

A 6.0 with stock stroke (3.622) is a 364. A 6.0 with a 4.000 stroke is a 402. A 6.0 with 4.000 stroke bored .030 over is a 408. etc etc

You don't have the bore the block at all and a lot of people don't, i.e. a 402.
