All bore 383?

Ive heard these are crazy torquey. How much would it be to build the bottom end? I know it has to be bored far, but can you use the stock sleeves? You cna use the stock crank too right?

thanks

The stock sleeves can only be overbored .010" I think. Very far from a 383. You'd be better starting with an LS3 or L92 block. But even then I don't think you will get to overbore it to 383".

exactly...the stock sleeves are too thin to bore out that much.

resleeve or use a different block

The 3.905 cylinders (honed) on a 383 LS1/LS6 is only worth one cubic inch. The 4.00 stroke makes up the additional 36 cubic inches. The only way to increase the bore size on the LS1/LS6 is to re-sleeve the cylinders...and that is very expensive and not worth the cost.

Gotta love big bore...GM gave us enough stroke. If i did a stroke motor i would go the LSX or LS7 route with a 4.125" bore. That's a 387cid, but close enough.
