Default CAn I stroke

my stock LS1 from 3.62" to a 4.00" stroke, while keeping the 3.90" bore?

or will the rod have an angle issue against the cylinder liner?

and I have heard I can only bore the LS1 to .005" is that all?

Default bore, stroke

No problem with a 4" crank. You can hone to 3.905" max.

The only way to go bigger is to sleeve the block. That's what I do. You can go anywhere from 4.125" to 4.200" bore max. using the Darton MID sleeves in the LS1 block.

Most go for 4.125" bore and 4" stroke for a 427" engine.

Steve what is the cost of all this? I just purchased Lts, ORY, LCA, LS7 clutch and some other goodies. After this I need to get a Ford (' and DS, so not anytime soon can I make this purchase.... But Im looking to rebuild my block spring of 2007. Where would I ship it to get it resleeved?

BTW I too am Armenian.
