Is it possible to get 750 horsepower out of a Plymouth 440 cubic inch motor?

Update:

What bore would I need?

Would I need to swap cranks out?

    Oh yeah it's definately possible... costs alot though... I got a buddy that has a chevy 502 big block in a 1972 nova that has been bored, stroked, blueprinted, a high lift cam, supercharger, and 2 four barrel carbs that is pushing pretty close to 1,200 horsepower... he's got about $20,000 in the engine alone..and is still street legal... totally brutal car, wheelie bars and everything.. kinda makes your heart stop for a second even when he only guns the engine at idle.

    yes ,but as close you can add 150hpb you already have more than enough with those monsters 440 magnum 375phb to 450phb.nitrous,supercharger headers .

    Yes. $$$$$ Your looking at about $10,000+ to do it right.

    You don't need a supercharger or nitrous, you can do it on strait motor, but you would have to run high octain racing gas.

    If it was bored. and supercharged with a fuel injection system. better make sure its built solid for the pressure needed.

    I would think this is possible if you add a supercharger, better exhaust, ect.
