no.. the block has to be clearanced for the longer stroke, plus you'll need to have it machined for bigger pistons, send it to a machine shop and get it done the right way then it will run but not perfect because you'll need the pcm reprogrammed to be perfect.

LT1edit is my favorite... I have it unlimited use but I'm sure you don't live close by. There are cheap ways of getting it done like sending it to pcmforless.com
