.220" overbore is HUGE. I don't think the block can be bored that much. Maybe with resleeving perhaps but that's $$$....it'd be cheaper to get a 6.0 for the 4" bore and it has more stroke than the 4.8

Ported heads would kick ass along with a cam. You'd be looking at least 60rwhp with a mild cam somethin a tad larger would get you closer to 80rwhp and also dependant on how far the heads are ported as well as what motor you choose for the base...
