I got word that my block will clean up to 4.040". I am set on the 427 stroker kit. This will not be daily driver and the bragging rights associated with having 427 cu-in is worth a slight hit in longevity or
oil consumption.
After talking with several machine shops, I have scrapped the idea of 4 bolt main caps. I am going to go with a 5/8" thk steel girdle with APR main bolts & a windage tray.
