Ford built a factory stroker windsor motor based on the 5.0 block. I've owned 2 of them now. They used a 3.4" stroke crank on the standard 4" bore for 342 cubes.
The factory fitted a main bearing girdle to strengthen the block and they are a fairly low reving beast, Rev limiter on these motors is set to 5750RPM. Probably to help the motor live and so they can give it a factory warranty.
Ford made a promotional video on the engine build at the time.
