383 crank and pistons advice
383 crank and pistons advice would a crank with 3.875" stroke, along with a 6.00" rod and SRP Forged Piston Set -5cc Valve Reliefs 4.030" bore be to much for an LT1. Or should I just go with the 3.75" stroke, 6.00 rod and same piston type
Or use Reverse Dome -16cc pistons with a 4.030" bore x 3.75" stroke, for 6.00" Rod
I am really looking for the best N/A set-up But I am stuck on these 2 set-ups

The 3.875 is for a 396 and with the 5 cc pistons will give a CR of 12.7 with stockchamber volume, 0.039" gasket and 0.005" deck. With 3.75" crank the CR will be slightly lower at 12.3.
Also watch out for very shalow compression height of the piston.

I am new to building strokers so I am trying to get all the info I can and basicly figure out my build before I start to go buy a bunch of parts. I will still be running the 2 bolt main block with ARP main stud kit so should I even attempt a 396 or would it be pushing the limits of the block.

I would look into the splayed 4 bolt conversion ...you wont regret it! take this from someone who wasted a 383 with a rod thru the block

You've mentioned using ARP studs on the 2-main block. Did you know you have to align hone the block for those? I also agree with the other posts regarding the 4 bolt mains.
A properly built 383 short block with forged internals can be had for $3500.
