400 with 440 crank

You essentially end up 426 C.I. but you have weak cast internals.

No. The combo results in "around" 451 cubes, depending on finished bore size.

Also, what cast internals are you speaking of? Even if he used a cast 440 crank, they can withstand 600 plus HP with a good quality balance job, just like the stock rods reworked and with good rod bolts installed. Chrysler bottom ends are very strong even stone stock. You got your information from a bad source.
