    possibly a stupid Question

    Alright if I had a 4.8 and changed my connecting rods to those of an Ls1, how well would it perform?

    Shorter rods on the same size crank....piston wouldn't reach the top of the cylinder.

    The stroke would be the same, but the range of motion would shift inwards towards the crank. No bueno.

    It'd be fine as long as you also used a 5.3/5.7/6.0 crank. Otherwise no.

    Just a 4.8.......
