Probably not because I think the 5.7 walls are thin to begin with.

If just stroking, I don't think the cylinder wall thickness matters much.

Will entail different crank for sure - will probably need custom rods and pistons as well as relief on the block at the lower end of the cylinder bores to clear the rods. A different cam as well as retuning would tie it all together.

nope 392s have been out for a while now and a number of 5.7 chargers 300s and magnums have been running them no problems for a while now. It can be done, has been done, and definitely a good option for 5.7 owners.

I am sorry, I was thinking of overboring. I agree with your statement.

The 5.7 and 6.1 have bores that are aluminum with iron liners and shouldn't have more than .030 inch ovebore.
