a 454 crank is 4.00----I think that in a 396 block you have a lot to grind away for rod clearance
Pistons for a BBC type head in a 396 bore size will be custom for any different stroke---
I suggest you find a different block for a starting point -----------

That can be accomplished. Yet=?? remember -you have now traded more weight(basic engine sizes) for the small block so that alone must be overcome . Good heads , big cam & intake is ness. Yet - you must run some high octane race fuel also. High octane(not=pump gas!!) equalls more heat & =more power. must have some 11-1 comp ratio or higher. Seems you =like most of us are trying to build on a budget-thats ok -just remember when ur @ tyhe track there will also be thos that built with big bucks.
