There really isn't enough deck height on these blocks to run a 4.25" stroke. The ring pack gets really tight, wrist pin is well into the oil ring and the piston skirt is unexceptably short. This results in a short lived engine.
I don't like to go over 4" stroke. Much longer and you will be taking the engine apart every 15 - 20K miles for a rebuild.
