How do you intend to get an extra inch of deck height?

The stock deck height is plenty for the 4.2 stroke and a 4.5 bore is doable. Why make things difficult?

I don't think crossbolts are needed either. It's not like nobody has ever built one of those engines, they used to popular in the late 50's and early 60's and guy were making pretty good power with the mostly stock parts.

Check the cover of the "History of Hot Rodding" magazine on the stands now.... that's an MEL.
