LT1 401 question
Ok guys/gals I was playing with an engine calculator and for fun I punched in:
4.060" bore
3.875" stroke
8 cylinders
This comes out to 401 cu. in.
Now knowing that the normal enigne can be punched out to .060 over and ran, I was kind of wondering if anyone had thought about this. All you would have to do it buy a 383 stroker crank or 396 stroker crank and bore your block out .060 over. You could probably get this to a CR of 11.2-11.4 if you were careful in selecting your rods and pistons.
Don't flame because it is just a thought and I was just toying around with the calculator.
It would be like having a 400 BBC in SBC form.
comments or concerns welcome. BAD OR GOOD
