Default pumpin up a 4.8

Has anyone built a 4.8? bored to a 5.7, cam,heads,exhaust, e-fans, etc.
I was wondering if it would be worth the time.

I know alot of people are going to shoot me down but oyu can bore a 4.8/5.3 block(same block) to 4" if you want to on my old 5.3 you could bore it that big with no problem. I owuld bore it to LS1 bore size so you can use of the shelf pistons and have extra cylinder wall thickness so you could spray it or put FI on it and not have to worry about it.
