A 410 is just a 390 block with a 428 reciprocating assembly that came in the big 66-67 Merc's, different pistons from a 390 though because of the longer stroke. Using original parts you can put together a fairly stout high torque engine. Use a PI intake, 750'ish cfm vac. secondary carb, a modern split pattern cam, and a free flowing exhaust.
The only way I would consider trying to turn it into a 428 (4.13" bore) is after you get a sonic check done to verify cylinder wall thickness. Even then I probably wouldn't bore it out the .080" because an extra 18 ci isn't going to make that much difference.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
