I have to admit the big bore block is a temptation but the cylinder sleeves are awfull thin between the bores and seems like head gasket blow-out could be a big problem. I remember the problems guys had running high compression on 400 SBC's even with reinforced gaskets.
If you want large cubes why not go with a Boss 429 setup? This engine doesn't have all the "bugs" the old FE had. There's a company that makes a full aluminum setup, just google Boss "429 blocks" and you'lll see them.
