Max 400 stroke to date is 4.5"

with a very expensive custom made crank. The 10.3" deck height is the same as a 460 but there is slightly less room for cam clearance. The 351C/351M/400/429/460 use the same timing gears but the 429/460s have a longer chain. (+2 links)

Cam advancing & Maximum CID

Maximum size depends on the bore. 4.5" stroke with
4.0 bore = 452
4.030 = 459
4.060 = 466
4.185 = 495

I was in the middle of the variable cam answer but the thread was moved so I'll respond there.
