I'll bet that somewhere along the way there was a typo and 374 became 574. Awfully coincidental that it went up exactly to a near identical looking number.

Standard Surplus in South Bend was selling 352" engines surplus in the early 60's and that might have been his source. Easiest and cheapest way to increase cu in would be to bore and fit 56/374" pistons.
