511 ci and 527 ci are also FE stroker displacements if you're talking over 500 ci.

I have a 511 ci Shelby aluminum FE (4.375 bore and 4.25 stroke), and I know some have gone to 527 ci with an FE stroker (I believe Keith Craft had one in his personal Kirkham).

Regarding your 514 and gaining HP and TQ, not sure it's very cost effective to try and switch to an aluminum FE stroker. In my opinion, it's hard to beat the per-dollar performance you can get out of a 385 series motor.
