With a pre-1970's pod, how plausible would it be for McDonnell Douglas to invest further finance to develop a stretch to the air frame of the DC-10 to compete directly with the Boeing 747 in capacity and range?

When I specify further development, I'm thinking of in terms of Airbus's development of the A330/A340 series which share a common fuselage but have different wings.

Would this be plausible?

How many sales could this achieve from the 747?

Regards filers.
