i did some checking in the shop today. it looks like you would have the clearance in the bottom. for pistons you could use 307 dished and cut the tops to get the deck clearance which would make them flat tops. you would only have to take about .060 off. i built some stroker 4 cyl. for racing using mercruser cranks. dont know if they have a 6 crank but it would be worth a look. the rods are bigger in them so you would have some to offset grind.
