Opinion: Don't use a 4.125" stroke as it will pull the piston too far out of the bore at BDC.

Yeah but they are not on a gen III block usually. The 427 can be done from stretching out an LS3 block and the 434/440 stuff I have seen are done on a LS7 block.

S10xGN told you why......

I would limit it to a 4.100" stroke max, but a 4.00" stroke would be nicer. I have a 4.07" bore iron block filled with Hard Blok up to the water pump ports and a 4.100" crank. It has real nice Wiseco pistons designed specially for this stroke and it burns about a quart and a half of oil every 4,000 miles.
