if it all works out, that is the plan, a 4.25 stroke(will have to add room to the side of the block) and a 4.18 bore with an eld head. the slave rods are cut off like to rod caps bolted together. the engine was balanced as a v8. i got all the interior and cage painted yesterday, now to put it all back together and start wiring. can't wait to hear it run with a real ignition system. was runing on just a stock HEI unit. the starter pad was added to the block by way of nickle rod and welding. then dril and tap acordingly. tranny right now is a power glide,if needed it will be a TH400. home mad adapterlates used as a mid plate. this same combo with out an intercooler(be it in a V8-406') went 6.00@116mph in my bird 3500# back in 1999. that's about 900hp. i think it will make about 700hp when it is all said and done, maybee more.
