Wouldn't a 355 stroker require a world block?

After an in dept comparrison last night, in the form of a nice big excel spreadsheet, I decided I'm going to go with the original plan which is to just build my own. It looks like I could have the engine I want for about $4800 before machining. That would include
331 stroker Forged flat tops, forged I beams, cast crank
Victor jr heads
cloyes 9 way roller
howard racing cam
howard racing true alum roller rockers
1 piece chromoly pushrods
march pulley kit
hi flow water pump
edelbrock performer intake
edelbrock 750 carb w/ electric choke
fidanza billet flywheel
ARP Main studs, Rod bolts, head bolts, roller rocker studs, complete engine bolt kit
billet steel main girdle
all clevite 77 tri metal bearings
SFI dampner

I'm sure I left something out.... But the total was $4880 before any machining. I'll take all the bottom end components to the machine shop and have the bottom end assembled there just for piece of mind.

Thanks for the input guys!
