An LS1 will require being resleeved to make it a 402. The cost of resleeving will be tremendous. You&#39;re better off buying an LS2 block that is already 4" or buying a L92 block that is 4.06" and having an even larger engine. The LS2 block is about the same cost as an LS1/LS6 block. The L92 will cost you about &#036;300 additional due to the work they do inside the block to control displacement on demand(dod) and variable valve timing.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was told the ls1 could be stroked to a 402 without resleeving thats good infromation to know. How large can an ls1 be stroked, 383? As for the horsepower numbers more is obviously better i was just shooting for 400-500 rear wheel in the end. i will look into the l92 or ls2 block and see what i can find. im going to have around 4-5 thousand to build a motor so i would like to go the easiest and best way possible.Thanks
