Kinda hard to follow you there. The crankshaft determines the stroke not the rods.

You can get 375-400 hp out of a 350, no problem.  If you build a 383 (4.030" bore x 3.75" stroke) and shoot for 375-400 hp you will have the same hp but with about 30-40 ft-lb of additional torque.  IMO building a 434 (4.155" bore x 4" stroke) and only shooting for 375-400 hp would be a waste of time and money, unless you need serious low end torque.
