RE: 454 with a 428 crank in a 427 block is easy.

A .030 over 427 and a 4.125 crank (428 crank offset ground and using 400 rods) will get you 470 cubic inches. The new Genesis block (which has a maximum bore size of 4.38) will get you to 497 will the above crank.

But the heads become the limiting factor. You really will have trouble getting enough air flow to fully use those cubic inches. While I am a big fan of the FE I also know that unless you use the tunnel port head or the best of the high rise heads your maximum horsepower at high RPM will be limited by the heads.
This thread, so far...
