Not knowing thing one about engine blocks, I'd guess it would make more sense to remove the s/c and bore out the engine. I'm assuming the block is somewhat substantial (since it can operate at the higher pressures required by the s/c), and if the Ferrari could get from 5.5 to 6, I'd think the Ford 5.6 could get to 6 at least, maybe even 6.5 if the geometry is right.
It's too bad they went with the 5.6 as the base for the 'charger. If they had've gone with the mod V8 (as used in the Panoz GT and the Multimatic DP among others) they'd only have to sleeve down 0.6L. I fear that 1.6L is a lot of displacement to sleeve out, and you'd end up with a pretty big 4.0L...
