As far as the turbo motor I do not know why they built it to 440 in. Perhaps they are hoping the short stroke would make the tq of the motor a little easier to get down the track. They are running those cars with pro stock clutch style transmissions, very hard to get them to hook up. I have heard they may try a top fuel style multiple clutch set up so they can handle the power. My uneducated answer would be a Bruno / Lenco drive type deal out of a alcohol funny car. Very similar power levels.
