That was one of the advantages of the 400. The rod angle was still very mild and a 4.5" stroke would still be easy and not extreme if some one forged a crank for it; Somethign Tim is looking into.

I talked with one of the guys that does the 460's. Not only is the engine longer, and the block a much heavier block to start with, but they were using a bell housing adapter plate. Not a correct bellhousing. That allone added 1.5" PLUSS the added length of the engine.

Comon parts is always a plus
Going with stuff other people have already done a pluss (for which I am kind of going againtst the grain)
