you would need to get the block sonic tested to see if it could be bored that much..

I am ok with the bore size (that is what mine is), but I WOULD sonic test the block, JUST to be safe.
I do not like any mroe stroke than teh 4.00 on our deck height blocks. Just leaves no room for pin on the small end. For a NA motor, and a NA motor only, you could get away with more. At that length, you are leaving VERY little room for any crown on teh piston to work with. In other words, with that much stroke, and short compression height, it would not be a very good FI piston.
You can always run a shorter rod, but not a big fan of that either.
