Stroker LS2 ???
Stroker LS2 ??? Ok, I've looked thru the search functions and I'm still pretty confused. I'm looking to put togehter a new LS2 block and stroke it with a differnt crank, rods, pistons.
My question(s): What bore would I need to go to with the LS2 block.
What legnth of rod.
What size piston (planning on a Procharger for boost)
I know these are common questions but I am in the hunt for parts and have seen some really decent deals out there (995.00 for a new LS2...WOW)
I just don't want to start buying things up, then realize I have a bunch of missmatched parts.
I already have a 6.0 crank and am wondering if I could use this with the LS2...what would it size out to be motor wise.
The motor buildup is going to be for a strickly race 02 SS. Weight should be around 3100 and I am wanting to run consistent 10 sec. times with decent reliability. Auto car w/ 4500 stall, 9 inch wih ?? gears, stripper car, glass hood, doors, hatch, BMR tubular front.
I appreciate any advice.

We are building a ls2 402 currently 
You can go as much as 4.010 bore with a ls2 block. If you need any info on ls2 strokers feel free to give me a call

I'd go with a 4" crank.
For FI, you want compression 9:1 or less.
Also, wait for a sponsor or someone else do it first, so you know what works and what doesn't
Then buy from them to show your appreciation for their R & D.

The LS2 block is a very nice block at a 4.00 bore. Anything LS1/LS6 related will work in this block less the cam sprocket, front cover, cam sensor, and knock sensors. You will have to use all the LS2 stuff for that. You will also need the LS2 timming chain. I would use a 6.125 rod (Crower or Lunati)with a .927 pin. As for a set of pistons, we can set you up with a set of JE custom pistons and put your compression anywere you need it! At 995.00 plus a little freight you can't go wrong!! Let me know if I can help!!
The stock 6.0 crank is the same as the stock 5.7 crank. Its only like 3.62 inches. So with that crank and and LS2 you could only get 364ci/6.0L. You'll need a different crank if you want more than 6.0 Liters.

I am definitely interested. Does that include the LS2 timing chain and cam sprocket as well as the different knock sensors the LS2 uses.
I blew the motor in my 98 Camaro 1LE track car last week. Haven't pulled it apart yet by I am getting 100% leakdown in #7 with air out the dip stick, so I figure I busted a piston
In fact I think you would make a hit by pricing the 402 short block ready to go in an FBod or C5 along with a list of the parts your experience shows is necessary to make the swap.
I am running 5.2 truck heads from TEA. I assume the normal head gaskets (which are what part nos?) will work. Can I reuse my TR 224 cam and the hardened pushrods?
3800$ blows away the way most folks are going about this. But the devil is always in the details and the first sponsor to get on this bandwagon and do it right will set themselves up as the LS2 expert.
