I am in the middle of doing this. Except I am going for 408 cubes. This way
I don't have to bore the block out by .060, which I was told is dangerous on
the Magnum blocks. The cylinder walls get really thin. So, rather than buy
a MP block with a .060 over bore, I am currently having mine bored out and
the 4.00 stroker crank put in with different pistons and pushrods to get 408
cubes, and I am trying to decide what blower I want to go with (paxton,
Vortech, Powerdyne). So hopefully I will be able to have it all bolted in
within the next month and a half. Hopefully. I'll keep everyone posted.
