Default Stroking an LS2 motor ???

Just wondering if there is a Stroker kit available for the LS2 yet, and, what can it be stroked to in cu. in. ?
How much more can it be safely bored to ?

Thanks.

I am running a 402 LS2 - all stroke no bore. Set up for F/I & man does it love that.

Yes there are stroker kits available. I believe the 402 is a 4" stroke crank with the stock 4" bore.

A LS7 has sleeves. The LS2 block can only be safely bored to a 402ci.

Actually, you can go .01" over on the bore of the LS2s.
