With the right piston it would be close using a 7” rod and 4.5” crank in a Pontiac doing something similar. 6.86” ish for the 4.75”. I took the Cometics apart and stacked them to get the height I wanted. The height I end up with was available from Cometic. I suppose you could stack the Cometic's and go taller yet. I was running out of room on the top rings, there was a little more room though. lol
