Small inch stuff like 440 range, all of a sudden the bore and valve aren't so small. All of a sudden you can take all your small block data, and begin to realize you have a really big bore space small block type engine and if you operate it like that.... it'll make big power.
I know people here hate talking about other brands. But consider a SBC or SBF with 2.350 inlet, a 4.375-ish bore, 3.75 Stroke, operating at 10,000 rpm.
How much power could that SB make? No reason the pontiac can't apply that.... just get creative.
You could even leave a dumb 7.00" rod hanging in there.... it'll still make big smoke.

4.600 cfe sb head on a 4.420 bore 9.500 deck block with 2.5" mains would be a screamer. Just need to figure out if you could turn down the counter weights enough so it wouldn't hit the piston skirt. Now getting a car to weight that could compete in an existing series would cost more and require more thought then the motor...
