Default 402 questions

Please move if not the right forum.

So I'm considering building myself a 402ci. I was wondering what information I could learn before I move forward in the parts purchasing.
I was looking at the summit racings 6.0L LS2 aluminum block, I was wondering if there would be issues with piston rocking at bdc?
At this point, I'm just getting my information lined up and what to do and not to do with this 402 build. So pretty much any advice is welcome.

Thanks guys!

Plenty of people have put 4" cranks in stock Gen III/IV blocks without such issues so you will be fine. Piston manufacturers have taken this into consideration when designing 4" stroke pistons.

Anymore stroke than that and you're starting to push it, but 4" is been pretty well accepted as fine and just about the limit for stock liners.
