If you are willing to allow a stroker in a 440 block, since the investment in a new crank is important, it should be doable with a hydraulic cam!
I built a 4inch stroke 440 ,475 cubes, .540 lift, 268 @ .050 hyd cam, 750 alky carb, 12/1 compression, 440-c bowlported heads on methanol that went 10.10 at 3180 lbs. Fix all that was wrong with that combo, like go bigger carb, 1.6 rockers, more cubes, and it would do the job, and not have to rev over 6200 rpm. I was shifting mine at 5800 to 6,000.
