400 to 451 stroker questions

Machine that 440 mains down to 400 mains....

May as well call 440 source and get the 451 kit
Yeah, I'm not crazy about cutting a factory forged crank. I just read that the main caps on the block can be bored and used with aftermarket caps to keep the 440 crank, yeah I know $$$
If I'm getting a kit it will be the 512 !!

BTW, what's the advantage of the larger mains on the 440, increased load bearing surface area and allow to block to hold more horsepower? I'm thinking that if I do it, I will have the advantage of the 440 crank, and the extreme beefiness of the 230 block


Estimates for the 72 , 400 , 230 block I have seen are 650, 750, 800, 900 hp
I'm planning 550 NA, up to 250 shot of n2o

I don't think anyone really knows
