Default 6.0 stroker clearance?

I was wondering if I could put a 4.1'' stroker crank in a 6.0 truck block without any machine work? If it would need to be machined what would something like that cost? What the displacement be with a 4.040 bore?

Don't know for sure but I would say that you will have to clearance the block. Even the newer LS2 blocks are now having to be clearanced for the standard 4.0" stroke cranks. As for the engine size, it will be 420.46.

Bore x Bore x .7854 x stoke x # of cylinders = cubic inch displacement
Cubic inch displacement divided by 61.02 = Liters.

looks like it comes up to 420 or so cubic inches if I did it right. THAT would be a true torque monster and you'd never need to twist it hard either and a mild dose of spray would be killer!! I bet you'd have to notch the crap out of the sleeves though to swing any kind of a decent rod in the hole.

Thanks guys, I might just go with a stock crank then. Although I do like the sound of a 420 cubic inch monster it was going to be for a blower car. I just seen someone selling the crank for cheap.
