I bought a used 382 stroker short block online. It turns out all the internals or good, but the block itself shows heavy wear in 3 cylinders. We may end up junking the block or boring it out more.

My question is what the largest bore we could go and still use the 382 crank and rods, it's the normal forged lunati kit?

Thanks for your help

TtT
Need some help guys.

 

I think you could go as big as you want by getting it resleaved. check out the new cartek 4.125" bore. 427!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

I'd try cartek, ARE, MTI, TR and JPR, I think they will all quote you prices on re sleeving.

I know, that doesn't mean he will know how to bore and sleeve a LS1, with my luck he won't know how to. Thunder Racing is close to where the engine is being built, so we might be giving them a call Monday.

I think the stock sleeves can be bored .010 but then you're gonna need differant pistons. May have already been done with the original install also though.

A 427 would be bad ***. Anyone know how hard it would be to get sleeves and how much they cost? If we have to re-bore the block, I'm going for 396 min, since we would have to get new pistons and sleeves anyway.
I just hope Diamond can cut me a good deal on forged pistons, if I have to get new ones.
