The REAL option should be a stock LS1 entire rotating assembly and bore the 4.8 block out to 99mm for 5.7L/348 cu in, or go stroker assemble and bore the block for bigger cubes.

How big could he go with a 4.8? you can bore a 5.7 out bigger than you could a 4.8 right? or are the 4.8 and the 5.7 block identical other than the stock bore?
