I would not worry about getting off the line with something like you are wanting to build. I believe with a stock stroke the advertised rpm ranges on the cams will be close. So will the gearing and converter recommendations.
I honestly don't understand why this thread is almost 3 pages long. The op is asking for a really simple recipe.
A stock stroke 440 with stock steel crank, stock (w/arp bolts)rods or new h-beams, and a flat top forged piston close to 0 deck. You'll want a piston with 2.05-2.067 compression height.
Trick Flow cylinder heads,
Any nice hydraulic, or hydraulic roller with anywhere from 230-245 duration and .550 valve lift is gonna get you 525-550 horsepower with tons of torque. `And you will live happily ever after.
