When/if I do another stroker it will be out of an LS3 block.
I feel the same way on the longer sleeves.

It's allways a good idea to sonic test due to possible core shift, and inconsistant castings. 2 out of the last 3 iron 6.0L blocks I sonic tested would easily take a +.100'' over bore frr a NA application.

Wow, I didnt know they could be bored over +.100" . Could a good block make it to .125" over?
