For gasket consideration I'd go a tid smaller on bore(4.375) and use 4.15 stroke for a 499 displacement . I think a 3.75 stroke short deck at 451 would make 2.3 or better easier... (2.549 per ci at 451 to 1150 hp would be a real stretch unless you hit powerball)
Really dont think it'd take that much rpm.
