396 is common...you can go bigger but as with everything else it costs more.
Lingenfelter once built a 454ci Small Block. Since the LT1's rotating assembly is the same, I assume with enough cash to throw at it you could make an LT1 that big.

The largest cube LT1 that I know of that's doable is like 409-411 cubic inches. Of course then there's Jeff Green who converts donovan 400sbc aluminum blocks to LT1s and I think you can go up to the 450 cube range with those.

LT1 = IRON block...no sleeves...its all one piece.
You can bore .060 over safely, which will take a stock stroke LT1 from 350 to 358.
