That means you would be running a 4.1" stroke crankshaft, which most have figured of too long of a stroke, and the piston skirt goes too far down out of the cylinder walls.

Why not?
There isint a draw back on that, the block just needs to be machined for it, thats all. AES makes a 427 Lq9 iron block, i have seen other shops make 427's from Ls2's, again machine work and good parts.
After those mods Gods green earth wont be so green no more
cause we'll be sucking gas and blowing lots of Cabron monoxide.
Im going this route and hope to reach 550hp, we shall see!
Slowhawk---- the low profile elbow is going back to Summit and am saving for a FAST 102, all this time I didnt know that that elbow was so frowned upon.
