I gotta say strictley from a cubic inch vs hp stand point that, every inch counts and the weight diffrence between the sb and bb is no more than 200 pounds in stock cast iron weight. I have built many diffrent combos of sbc from 327-408 and found the same principals of engine building hold true for the 3 bbc engine I have built. I think if it where me I would punch that tall deck out however punch it takes to clean up and buy a complete 4.25 storker kit. You are now in the 500 inch range and should be more than enough grunt to move you.

Best of luck on which ever way you go!
