Default 4:00” or 4.21?

Looking at a new build same block, 2 cranks., a 69 428 crank in a 1975 455 2 bolt block or a 4.21 crank in your 75 455 block. at .030 bore, .010 rod/mains. Your plans for the engine are serious street/ strip action. You want to build a strong lower end end strong enough to handle a hyd roller cam with duration somewhere around 245/255 duration at .050 and around ~.580” lift Your plans include either Ross forged pistons or ?. I will be using a quality 6.7 rod. Rear gears will be around 3.73 , appropriate 10”converter chosen as well. Exhaust will be 3" with Doug's headers. The heads will be aluminum round port 290-305cfm, Intake will be a RPM OR Torker II
So
1 ) Use the 4" crank in 455 block + .030. 440
2 ) Go for cubes and build a 2 bolt 462 .+.030
Car a 68 Firebird. Is there a difference of these 2 motors or not so much and why you chose either!
