Re: how about stroke?
yea, nothing wrong with any of the parts, they are all new. like i said, the crank can be replaced easily but the heads are a different story.

Re: how about stroke?
You will never get a 4.8 bored out to 350 cubic inches (5.7L). It physically cannot happen. Fast48 was quoting the price for typical machine work to bore each cylinder. No one ever said a 4.8 could be made to a 5.7. But, a 4.8 with the rotating assembly of a 5.3 (which would make it a 5.3) could be bored just enought to squeeze out a 5.7 liter. You would still need new pistons, wrist pins and rings on top of the crank and rods.
Its a waste of time if you ask me.
