Is is just a displacement difference or is one better to build than the other. I'm not worried about the 27 extra cubes and both would be built the same Kauffman heads and stroker crank... Blah blah blah. Going for a low revving 550hp.

Would appreciate some input

Also because I'm sure someone is going to suggest it, I do not want to go with a 400. I know the smaller main journals is ideal but I'm not planning a 7000rpm screamer. And I'm honestly tired of seeing everyone having a 461 stroker based on the 400. Just my 2 cents.

If both the 428 and 455 blocks get the same stroker crank and are standard bore. There is about 7 ci difference.
