As has been said ... a professional engine builder would probably just grind the slot in the block or cap to accept the bearing tang.

Chill out, buddy - nobody's pissed at you (yet). Keep coming back with responses like that, and you will turn everybody against you. Your question about what's the biggest stroke you can put into a 460 block is in no way relevant to the original post, so - chill and create a new post to ask your question, or as was suggested - use the search function. relax, and enjoy - it won't hurt a bit.
