In that case, why stop with a 4.25 stroke. Why not do a 4.375 stroke, and bore the blocks to 4.560, and build some 572 short decks. Instead of only gaining 38ci over a 502, youll gain 70 cubic inches

My wallet doesn't quite allow for that big of a build. I just got lucky and fell into the parts for my 540..... So my father-in-law talked me into it for the little extra it cost me.

What more would the cost be ? Youre already buying crank, rods, and pistons

If it was me personally going any bigger I would want to go with a tall deck... Just better rod angle
