A 402 is really a 396, bored .030 over, already. .120, is about all there is before you hit water, so, another .090. You can sleeve the block, and go further, however, at that point you would be better to with an aftermarket block.

How much do you have to bore a 383 to make it a 400?

A 383 is a 350 block with a 400 crank. The block is bored to 4.030". A 400 has a 4.125" bore, so you'd need to bore the 383 roughly .095", which is probably not practical as the 350 is not made to be overbored that much.

What is a Chevy 350 bored 80 over called?

A 350 Chevy bored 80 over would be a 364 cubic inch V8. Here's a simple formula to figure the displacement of a V8 engine: Multiply bore X bore X stroke X 6.285 and you can figure out the displacement of any V8 engine based on what the bore and stroke is. Now, before you bore a block that far over, make sure the block can safely handle that much of an overbore. An extra 5 or 10 cubic inches isn't going to make enough of a difference to justify making the cylinder walls too thin.
