4.8L build to 366 c.i.
I have recently been thinking up a little project for a spare 4.8L that's in the garage. I was thinking by using a 4.0" stroke crank and boring the 4.8L block from 3.780" to 3.820" (+.040") and using 6.125" rods, that I could achieve a 366 c.i. engine. I have seen a lot of people talking about how they are happy with their 370s and so fourth, but I have looked around and haven't seen anyone doing anything of this sort... except for making a 4.8L/5.3L to a 5.7L which requires .123" bore of the block to do so (thus making me think it might not be so boost friendly). I need some suggestions on this.

you can punch it out 40 over and have your 366.
or you can punch it out to the LS1 bore 3.893 to give you around 381ci with
room left over to keep your motor and punch it again to 3.905 to come
out around 383ci later down the road.
it will handle boost or nos very well.
