The biggest I've heard is a 4.5 and some blocks will need a lot of clearancing with possible partial filling.

I too did a lot of research and the tall deck itself does NOT give you any more room than a regular block as far as stroked cranks go. It isn't like the 572 blocks are which has wider bore spacing. Biggest cube I've heard is a 525 and that is with a big overbore on a sonic checked block.

Even with a conservative 496 stroker you can use longer rods which are fairly common and the benefit of a 4bolt block
