I have a 6.0 block bored to 4.060 and a 4.000 stroke Lunati crank offset ground to 4.075 for a 422ci and almost square motor.

A 4.19 Bore with a 3.62 stroke will give you a 400.

You might as well resleeve an aluminum block to get that bore.

375 is about it with a stock crank, but that is 30ci more than stock, a pretty good increase.
