Maybe advancing the cam CL would help lower the power band.
I would not shorten the plenum depth based on my own experiences adding spacer under the carbs helping the bottom end on a nearly stock 1969 440 HP cop car motor
Almost every NHRA SS single four barrel motor being raced have tall plenum, but they do have high stall converters also
Advancing the cam will really help the bottom end, I'm not sure how much on your deal as I don't know the cam specs
Every Mopar street and strip or race only motor I've advance the cams on went faster at the track and felt better down low on the street as well as picked up torque on the engine dyno
