Just make it a nice 370 with good pistons and rod bolts. Con rods too if you can swing it. Take a look at that bitchin green TA owned by Na$ty T/A over in the FI section of tech. He's got a 370 in there.

On the other hand if I go with the 408 then I would soon go to a 88mm for sure. Where does it stop?

It will cost about $1000 more to do the 408 (crank and rods) since there is no off the shelf pistons for the 6.098 rod. The extra cost for custom pistons will run about the same as buying rods.
