440 should be doable if you have some really badass heads and a decent cam, meaning probably some AFR 225's and at least a mid 240's duration cam. I had a 6.0 bored .060 over with stock heads, LS6 intake, ported TB, underdrive pulley and such but it went kaput on the dyno so I can't tell you what it made 
Nonetheless, the iron block is a great starting point for FI or N20 due to it's higher strength than aluminum. Of course it also weighs around 100 lbs more so it's a trade off. I personally would rather strength than the small weight reduction of an alum. block.
