454 Dmax?

Not sure you can go that big. The stroker kit from SoCal Diesel is a 427 I believe

There is a point where bore spacing just won't allow anymore. Or you just plain get to thin to be feasible. I'm not sure you can get to 450+ cubes on a Dmax, I've heard people say 440 is the max.

Why the hard on for 454 anyway?
 
Yes, we're building one. It's not going in Braydens truck, plans are for a puller. I'm gonna hopefully start putting it together for long hopefully. All the parts are the except a few odds and ends, just need the time to get it together.

Whos truck is it goin in? Will Brayden ever have a truck again???:poke:
 
Its Going in mine just curious to see if anybody had experience with one or what the pitfalls might be.
 
You can go to 454 and bigger if you like. We built a couple 441 motors several years back. These were done to see what it would gain for a couple of pulling trucks in a limited turbo size class. It's not worth the money IMHO unless you can run twins or an unlimited single charger. The issue will be picking the right block to work with. +.060" works on most all blocks but going bigger you need to have the block checked for casting shift in the water jacket core. The LBZ block seems to be better when looking to go big bore and some will take as much as .100" over bore. I would not want to go any bigger on the bore but some have already.

The 441 engines what kind of power were yall seeing out of them. And did you run any of them with twins or a large single.
