I have an Ls6 not an LS2 and I don't want deal with the issues of swapping different blocks (cam sensor, knock sensors, wires etc.)
I belive SDPC's LS6/Ls1 offerings top aout at 383 cubic inches; right?
This blows.

But, if you still want Gen3, you'll either need to sleeve your block for larger bores, go iron block gen3, buy a C5R block, or stroke your motor (the 383 option you mentioned).
Forged LS2 with 4.0" stroker is by far the best deal for the money.

This is an easy swap for big power.
What?!?! How is that complicated?? 1. You don't have the change reluctor wheels. The 402 short block can be ordered with the 24x reluctor wheel. 2. Cables are just a "plug-n-play". Very easy. Plug into the existing, then into the new hardware. 3. Front timing cover - hmmm... going to be off already when doing the motor build!

When i called one of the big 3 sponsors on here, for a daily driver, they suggested I just stick with Gen 3. On paper, it's a snap, but there are always those little quirky things, they said.
It's a prety comon swap. A lot of people do it with no problems. You do need to have it tunned, but that's a no brainer. Those quirky things are why you have an experienced tunner do it.
Dude ,once u go with the bigger bore ,u have so much more available to u ,if u stick with the ls1 ,u cant run bigger heads , your limited to what u can do ,u will shoot yourself in the foot if u decide to stay with a 383 ,but its your money ,i personally went 4.0 bore

i bought the ls2 402 off of scoggin dickies and they put the wrong pistons in my shortblock.
They put an ls1 piston into a ls2 block and when the ls2 block heats up the block expands, so it let a huge gap in between the piston and block and there were alot of play in the pistons when i pulled it down to find out what they have done.
So be careful what u order and who u order from.
