I don't know if it matters on a drag car or not but when You start changing center links it changes bump steer and ackermann. You might check out some circle track chassis builders that still run stock front clips.
I normaly have the carb flange level on a Chevy engine that way the engine/trans will normaly take care of its self. I have ran the rear end at up to 5 degrees down with the engine set this way. Anything much more than 5 degrees on the rear and pinions don't last long.
I think alot of the aftermarket stuff uses big block cam bearings because they are bigger. I don't know if it because of not being able to get enough lift or for strength of the cam it's self or maybe both.
A 4.250 bore and a 4.250 stroke works out to be 482.33 Maybe the bore could be a little bigger but I think that would be it on the stroke. It would probably have a bad rod ratio IMO
I had the factory AC box in My car before I switched to Vintage Air. I just notched out for My valve cover and fiberglassed it back in. It was a real pain to change the back spark plug and the back lower valve cover bolt was almost impossible. Here are a few pics...

I've done alot of swaps this way 1997 S10 2wd rotors, Malibu Calipers and weld on brackets from speedway. This set doesn't have a parking brake. It cost less than $150 to do the last one.
I have 2 sets here that I used on My car with a 12 bolt rear. I used some rect. tubing about 1/8 thick. They worked for 5 years and I put a 9" in My car and got a set of BMR arms.
They are back in there but I don't see why a shock wouldn't bolt on I have a piece of 1" square tubing with a hole drilled in it in place of a shock to hold My car up.
