Doesn't a crank with a throw that long pull the piston skirt out of the bore? I know on LS1 and LS6 blocks a 4" crank is cutting it extremely close...

Just for some info on K1, they are the Chinese brand of carillo (one of the nicest racing rods out there). Much like compstar is the Chinese brand of Callies. The parts I have seen from them are very nice, and much better than eagle/scat, at least as far as machine work and consistency goes.

They will work, but not make as much power.
The upgrade would be to switch to Yella Terra Roller Rocker Arms for reduced friction and wear.
It will work, you'll just have a much smaller displacement.
All of the Callies components are available through us as well.

Eagle and Scat are also made off shore. The dirty little secret in the industry is that all cranks and rods in this price range are made off shore. Some of the manufacturers finish the product in the states and some do not. A true made in America solution is available, but those pieces carry a premium of 2 or 3 times higher cost. Those are also available through us, and we prefer that our customers buy American when possible.
LS3 Block vs. LS7 Block
The LS3 Block is $1,142 cheaper than the LS7 Block.
LS3 427 Shortblock vs. Stock LS7 Shortblock
The LS3 Block is $1,142 cheaper than the LS7 Block. The longer stroke makes more torque. The forged internals will handle a higher power capacity.
