    One thing to consider if you were to do an LS2 conversion is that the LS1 has a 24 tooth reluctor wheel and from memory the early LS2's had a 24 tooth wheel but then changed to a 58 tooth reluctor wheel, the computer on the LS1 will not read the later models signals so you then have 2 alternatives, remove the crankshaft from the LS2 and replace the wheel with the LS1 wheel or buy a signal converter box that will convert the signals so the computer can read the position of the crank for fuel, ignition etc, from what I have read the converter boxes can be a bit temperamental and troublesome.

    Stroke to 383ci or LS3

    LS3 slightly more $$ but more to work with down the track e.g 427ci

    As i an other people have said in some of your previous posts "better the devil you know" i would stroke the ls1 to 383ci. but i dont know what is cheaper either way i reckon #### all change from $8,000.

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.

    Personally I'd go for the stroke. There's something about the number 383 that makes me happy

    Because if you try and take your ls1 any larger, you may have to seal up the conrod inspection hole.
