    Yes!

    A 3.875 inch stroker crank in a .030 over block will net you a 396.

    3.14 x 2.015^2 x 3.875 x 8 = 395.22


    It should be no problem for a good machinist to make it all work.

              You can have a 2-bolt block splayed with new caps, or you can find a Corvette block. Vette blocks are 4-bolt.

              Also, whenever GM replaced a short block in a f-body under warrenty, they used a 4-bolt block. So, there are some f-bodys running around with them too. (that's where the one I'm going to buy came from)
