You can stroke a 390 as well, 4.08 bore, 4.250 stroke = 441 cubic inches.
4.08 bore , 3.98 stroke = 414 cubic inches.
You can get reasonably priced parts for either engine, but obviously there is a much greater range of parts for the 351W.
Starting with a factory cast iron block, I would guess the build cost wouold be similar no matter which engine, either using a stock crank or a stroker crank.
