Does everything bolt back up to the 6.0 block?What would I have to do to it to add a stroker crank and rods(what size pistons)?Would it be more noticable then a 382 on a LS1/LS6 motor?Extra power worth the extra weight?????Also what hp icrease would I see by going to a 6.0 over a 382 stroker?What would I have to do to make it a 408???Was thinking about a 408 on an iron block if I can't find a LS1/LS6 block.

A 382 is 6.3L I believe, so it would have a slightly higher potential for more power.

A 408 is done by (someone correct me if I'm wrong) having a 6.0L block bored over .030" (4.030" bore) and by having a 4" stroke.

So if I buy the 382 storker kit with diffent pistons and get a 6.0 iron block and have it bored I can get 408??????What size pistons would I need to get????And how mush bore????Also does the rest of the LS1 parts bolt back on the 6.0 block???

I believe everything bolts up to the 6.0L block.

If you are going to buy a stroker crankshaft, you may as well go with the 4.125" stroke and get 422ci out of it with a 4.030" bore. The more cubes the better to make up for the extra weight, unless you plan on reving it past 7000rpm.

Would any machine work need to be done, to put a larger than 4' inch stroker crank in a 6L iron block?

So how many liters is my motor?

I don't believe you can bore the iron block .125" over. I'm pretty certain 4.060" bore is the max (or 60 over). 30 over is all I'd do if you plan on using power adders (forced induction or nitrous). The 409 is acutally a 4.030 bore and a 4.00" crank (408.17 actually).

Just wanted to clear things up.

Ok one more ??? What do I do for head gaskets on a 6.0L motor bored 30/1000th.Do I use stock 6.0L gaskets or 5.7? Or is ther somwhere to get custum made ones?

Slammed Vette

Just ordered the 408 stroker kit and Chris hooked me up with some gaskets too!!!!Iron block is on it's way too!!!!

4.03" Bore x 4" Stroke = 408
4.03" Bore X 4.125" Stroke = 421

I run a 4.060 bore 422ci iron block and I run Cometic head gaskets.
