Wanting to build up a 400ci small block and not sure which way to go with it.

Pretty easy just to do a .030 over and have 5.7" rods for a 406 SBC and build up a good cruizer/performer that way. But what about fully stroking it out with a 434ci stroker kit?

Would it it worth it going that route? Or would I have to have an aftermarket block to be reliable?
