Yea, admittedly I am bias. But it is a tough combination to beat.

FWIW 351m and 400 are same block, same deck height.

You know, those little LA Mopars are tough as heck but they are big and heavy with a somewhat small crankcase. If you punch one out to 4.08" and install a 4" stroker crank, you then have the cubes worth the weight on the nose of your car.

You are probably right, but our panel of judges will have to hear from GW before you are awarded the grand prize...

Humm, a cleveland stroker with a good block is looking like a possibility, has anyone started making aftermarket cleveland based blocks? (theres the boss blocks, but i'd want the cleveland deck height for the parts i have)

Also going with a 434 has got me thinking that i'd be able to put more into building a stronger block, i say this and the above statement as the thought of paddles/cut boggers and nitrous are rolling around in my head . . . . .
