If you are speaking of the four cam Ford, it will not go above 350 in. cubed. The engine is extremely heavy as it is which is why Ford did not give it a large heavier cyl. block.
If they do not allow destroking, the engine is already a long-stroke engine and sleeving down to 4l will make it internal geometry better suited to tractor-pulling than sports car racing.
At 330 in.cu. it is already a long-stroke engine.
Now the old push-rod engine used by Panoz and Saleen, that can be expanded quite a bit, if they use the tall-deck version.
