Default 427 Stroker is it gonna be durable

Im still tossing ideas around before I put my car back together.Thinking about stroking my 02 Z 346 to a 427ci.Is that taking it too far?Would a 383 be better bet.?Would they both be about the same durability wise?Is either motor gonna wear faster etc...?

LS1/LS6

383 is the safest, easiest and most plausible.
395 is doable.

427. No, unless you want to spend insane amounts of money on sleeves, deck-plates etc modding your LS1/6 block. Or you can just buy an LS2/LQ9 block.

LS2 - 364-416
LQ9 - 370-421
LS3-376-429
