Actually they did. Take the FE Ford engine series. Started out life
as 332 cubic inches with a 3.3" stroke. Stroke increased to 3.5",
then 3.78", and finally 3.98". Combine the stroke of the 428 with
the bore of the 427 and you could get 447 to 454 cubes. Dad's ran 454 cube version ran fine for 90,000 miles.
