Check my math really quick To get 396ci out of a stock bore ls2 you would need a 3.939inch stroke correct?
i dont know engine equations, but i know general geometry
the stock bore is 4.000right?
2.00radius^2 X 3.141592 = 12.566
396ci/12.566/8cylinders = 3.939
am i correct?

I have been reading some of the posts regarding rod/stroke ratio and the effects of piston speed on motors. I think I understand that just by decreasing the stroke, you don't necessarily increase the ability of the motor the rev higher or faster.
But then why did the DZ 302 from the 60's rev so mich higher and faster than the 350's of the same era? Was it due to the solid lifters of the DZ 302 and possibly the shorter stroke of the engine?
Edumacate me sum!
PS It would be cool to have a "396" and I have always wanted a small block that revved more like a Ferrari motor than a Chevy motor
