If you keep it at a 408 with a 4" stroke and 4.030" bore you will be a lot better off for durability that a 422

Oh it can and has been done, if they used the right parts it will last, just normally going slightly smaller holds up better in the long run.

I would be concerned with having that highly modified car as a reliable daily driver. I would also be concerned if I did not know the previous owner real well, and have a good history on the car.
