Even I will take at least 3 tricks with clubs as trump (unless I revoke).
I'd bid a straightforward 5C.

I don't think that this is a good hand for your little system Frederick. You are white vs red, the opponents opened, you have 7 highs and 8-4 distribution. Don't wait any longer, time to blast!
(replace "your little system Frederick" with "pass", "3C" or even "4C" if you'd like to know my opinion with respect to those bids)

5C is straighforward. Esp in Team IMP.

The heart suit is sort of an illusion. Unless you catch pard with 5, there are very few layouts where hearts is the right strain.
This is the real lesson from this hand. Ignore the heart suit, and treat this like you would any other eight (or nine bagger given the trick potential of your heart suit) with a broken suit.
Are you telling me you don't know how to bid such hands?? Join the club. Try bidding an unusual number like 4 ♣ that promises a long suit and maybe partner will be able to help if she happens to own a club doubleton with two honours like KJ or AK.
