4 inch stroke and 4.12 inch bore equals 426 cid.  That is assuming you can

get a full 4 inch stroke.  3.9 inch stroke equals,  hell, heres a table.



        Stroke   4        3.95      3.9     3.85     3.8     3.7    3.6   3.5

Bore

4               402       397       392     387      382     371    362   352

4.03            408       403       398     393      388     377    368   358   

4.06            414       409       404     399      394     383    374   364

4.12            426       421       416     411      406     395    386   376





OK, how is that!



Now, Mad dog,  One thing I would change with the heads, is if you are

dishing out the bucks for the SVO block, then I would also go for the

aluminum SVO high port heads.  A good investment since to unleash the real

power from a cleveland head takes some work such as high porting the exhaust

and filling the bottoms of the intake ports.
