How to build a LS 383 stroker from a 5.3 part 3 (clean block and install crank)

1. Cleaned the block thoroughly with a mild detergent (dawn dish detergent)
2. Check main bearing clearances with plastigauge
3. Torque main caps down to spec
tools used:
MEL-MPE-900BR-GP - Melling Freeze Plugs (summit racing)
Plastigauge (O'Reilly's auto parts)
MOR-61820 - Moroso Engine Cleaning Brush Sets (summit racing)
Torque Wrench (kobalt and Brownline

Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for watching

What crank did you end up going with? I plan on watching your entire build serious good stuff so far.

[@Slicpartna]

I used a k1 crank and rod assembly The pistons and rings are wiseco Let me know if you have any other questions

[@sst9364]

W o makes that torque wrench and model. Looks like an easy one

[@Slicpartna]

Brownline metalworks make the torque wrench www.brownlinemetalworks.com It is very easy to use I would purchase another one Thanks for watching Let me know if you have any other questions

[@Jay-wn6uf]

Whats the purpose of drilling that center hole? is it bc you switched to arp studs?

[@Slicpartna]

yes, the arp studs apply a greater clamping force to the main caps which also affects the clearance. without the proper clearance poor oil pressure would be experienced and premature failure let me know if you have any other questions thanks for watching

Did you have to get any machine work done for the 4 inch crank to work? I'm working on an lr4 and wanting to put in a 4 inch crank but need to know if I need machine work done first

[@Slicpartna]

I didn't need to have the block clearance for the crankshaft. Let me know if you have any other questions

[@kurrentevent]

I would like to kno what pistons, Rods, and crank you use.

[@Slicpartna]

K1 4340 forged steel crankshaft 4.000 stroke K1 forged 4340 steel H-Beam rods with 7/16" ARP 2000 rod bolts, 6.125 length Wiseco 2618 forged pistons, ArmorGlide Skirt Coating, .150 wall wrist pins I got the kit from cncmotorsports.com Let me know if you have any other questions Thanks for watching

I'm liking this, I've got a 2004 Silverado with a 5.3 I'd like to swap in a L92 6.2 with a Truck Norris cam and beehive valve springs for a start and then go for some long tube headers and 3" true dual exhaust. I'm thinking these 6.2's are common in Denali's and fairly low cost so I can do a budget build as I go along.

[@Slicpartna]

I smile everytime I start the engine. It is a blast to drive. The sound of the engine is awesome!! Let me know if you have any questions Thanks for watching

[@frederickdean2485]

What size crank he’s using???

[@Slicpartna]

It is 4" stroke crankshaft Let me know if you have any other questions Thanks for watching

My ls is carbureted how can i run a 4l80 transmission instead of my 400th ?

[@Jay-wn6uf]

get a tcu

[@MiguelSanchez-rb3tw]

How Much was it to bore the cylinders?

[@Slicpartna]

I'm not sure on the price just bore the cylinders I had other work done Cam bearings Deck the block Bore cylinders Clean front cover, rear cover and oil pan $550 Let me know if you have any other questions

[@csharp8126]

Aluminum or cast iron?

[@Slicpartna]

Is is a cast iron block Let me know if you have any other questions Thanks

[@AveontheGrizzly]

What wiring harness did you use? Also what transmission?

[@Slicpartna]

I using a wiring harness from psi conversion I'm running a 4L60e transmission Let me know if you have any other questions

[@AveontheGrizzly]

A 4l60e can handle a 383? Or did you have it rebuilt? Are you running boost?

@@Slicpartna After all this I installed a 2000 stall converter in my truck it was running fine but it didn’t have the power that I was looking for! I changed it to a 3200 stall and now it seems like it’s stuck in third gear reverse works fine

[@Slicpartna]

@@originalman8497 have you gotten it on the highway to see if it goes into torque converter lockup at highway speeds

[@originalman8497]

@@Slicpartna it’s stuck in 3rd gear and the RPMs are high! I was thinking it might be the new stall converter but, it drives and reverse works well!
