Some blocks will go .125 over===4.375 bore, i just built a 481 that was actually a little too big on the bore 4.377, but it's what the customer had to work with on the budget build.
The problem with the block you mentioned is finding pistons for it. It's not a standard over bore so you may have to have them made (EXPENSIVE) probably over $1000.00.
