I totally agree w/recommendation to talk to Keith. Great guy!!

Since a 410 is 4.05" bore (like the 390), why not go +.030" overbore? There is a bigger selection of 4.08" pistons to go with the stroker cranks. And if you go with a stroker crank, you already have a 3.98 stroke, why mess w/4.125, why not go with the 4.25 and you'll have a 445? A +.030 390 block should be fine; most 390's will take up to a +.060" overbore w/o sonic testing, but I wouldn't go any farther than /060" w/o sonic testing. IMHO.

Keith can fix you up w/stroker crank, I-beam or H-beam 6.700" rods (BBC) and correct pistons, all in one neat package.
