And for those complaining about the big inch Ford, I have never personally seen a 500 cube HEMI from the factory. Must be like one of those 440 sixpack HEMIs or something. Heard about em, just never seen one................lol

I don't get it?

Anyway, I was thinking with the pickup tube out of the way one could fit a 4.5" stroke crank into a stock hemi block. The problem is side loading on the piston starts to decrease service life with just a .060 bore. So one could go with the trick stuff and a 7+ inch rod and running the pin into the lower compression ring. I've also heard that stock blocks can go .100 over but to sonic test the thickness to make sure.

So, with a 4.5 stroke and a .100 over bore that will get you to 535ci!
