What cubic inch?
I have been hearing that you can only go as big as a 370ci if you have forced induction. I am confused by this. Can anyone tell me why this is, or is it bad information?

There have been reports of durability issues with strokes longer than 4 inches on standard height blocks due to how far out of the bottom of the cylinder wall the piston is when at the bottom of the stroke. This allegedly causes a ring seal problem and piston durability issue that I could only assume would be exagerated of a F/I application. Having said that, there are also supposedly some newer piston rod combinations that minimize this problem.
