A 413 block can be bored to 426 size and even a bit more, although there 
isn't necessarily a good reason to do so unless you have found, say, some 
426 pistons.  May be better to keep the extra cylinder wall thickness.  One 
reason to bore larger with a 413, if you are going to use real max wedge or 
equivelent (Indy, etc) heads, is that you have to notch the 413 bores for 
the big intake valves, while I'm not sure that you do with a 426, don't have 
any experience with that particular combo.  Both 413 and 426 pistons can be 
found in flat-top versions but not quite as easily as 440 pistons for 
example.  Domed 413 and/or 426 wedge pistons have to be custom made unless 
you find an original or NORS set.  The "street wedge" moniker applies to the 
64/65 426 wedge put in cars, flat top pistons, single four barrel.

On the stroker crank issue, one of the vendors that advertises in the Mopar 
magazines offers complete stroker rotating assemblies for both 383 and 400 
blocks, I can't recall exactly what the displacement ends up being with the 
383 block.  I guess the main reason to choose one over the other would be 
that you already have one or the other block, since everything else in the 
short block is going to be changed anyway.  This could be cool in a 
situation where one has the original number's matching block for, say, a 69 
Roadrunner, could have around 440 displacement with the original engine in 
place.
