Well I think your goal is most likely obtainable. It may or may not have some additional challenges, but I am sure it can be done. That said, even with a 4.3L you will be at some notable disadvantages vs a v8 4.3L that tried it. I think that your goal would be more accurately compared to a v8 acheiving 1200whp with a larger whipple. The perspective I am looking at is that you have 2 less intake ports and 2 less exhaust ports to work with, less X/Y plane cross-section to fit your intercooling (due to a shorter engine plus a narrower 60 degree valley vs 90 degree), and of course less pistons and rods to spread the work out on. Also a 900whp V8 will generally be able to do this with a very stock-ish short block, where the stroked and sleeved v6 has introduced a host of potential complications that could become hurdles.
(So, I think you can get there, I just might not expect to see it on the first tuning session)
