With a stroker crankshaft, and some highly modified NASCAR connecting rods, I can get close to 270 cubic inches from a 235, or around 300 from a 261. Unless you have your own machine tools, including a crankshaft grinder (I do) or know a machinist who works pro bono, it's not a very practical way to get more displacement. A bored-out 261 would be a lot simpler to build.
