3.75x4.00 = 377ci

Go with Ron Woods HD liners punch it .060 over = 388ci.

I would suggest getting a complete short block done.

With AES you use stock head gasket.
EES O-rings heads/block and use cooper gaskets more $$$$

Something to think about.

I hate Copper head gasket's & 'O'-rings. Pain in the butt, worked O.K. for sealing combustion pressure but have to silicone all the water holes in deck...even then wasn't uncommon for them to leak/seap. Used to have to deal with those in the past. I've switched everything I do over to M.L.S. (Multi-Layer-Steel), work awesome & can re-use them many time's. Some guys would tell me 'Ya, but you can re-use Copper too', I'd tell them I didn't want to use copper the first time! LOL. 99% sure nobody makes M.L.S. for LT-5's...yet.

Get ahold of nelsonracingengines.com

He is doign his own block/crank and soon heads so you can build a 500ci LT5.
Wont be cheap. Also can CNC his own intake to put twin screw blowers on also.

Didn't want to be the first...I know three guys that dealt with him that live in SoCal, they didn't have good experiances, their stuff turned out O.K., but he's a flake to deal with. One of my piston suppliers said the same thing, in the past.

I've had issues in the past with him as well. Wanted parts and then disappeared.
