You might want to nose around on "LT1 Tech"..... there was a thread last week that asked the usual question about "wahts the biggest LT1 I can build"...... and out of the blue comes a guy who claims he is running a 4.120" x 4.00" stroke 427 LT1, using sleeved cylinders. He includes some info on how it was done.
Odd thing was, as I recall..... he was using an LT4 HOT cam in it, which must have been a little on the "mild" side

Ellis, I tried emailing you but it bounced back....
Anyway, are you resleving an LT1 block for your new build? Also, what are you doing with your old heads?
Drop me an email
