looks good to me. I would choose the DP over the Edelbrock.

---

Why?? My debate on this is I hear the Hollys are a pain to tune and keep in tune.
And the Brocks are easier to tune and stay tuned but are prone to stumble and can't be gotten rid of. Do I know what I am talking about???

I guess i really can't comment on the Eddy carb as i have never owned one. I have owned Holleys for 20+ years.Easy to tune and if it won't stay in tune that probably means it's due for a rebuild. The 750DP is a very versatile carb. Plus, they look better than the Eddy

Don't skimp on a cam for a 440 or you'll regret it, especially with those heads & comp., i would choose something in the 240s @ 50 on a 110, even the mildest 440 loves a good cam, i can tell you 2 that work well (from exsperience) if your stumped on what to get, the .509 MP or the comp. XE284H for a build like yours, they like gears & a nice stall. 750 or 850dp is the way to go for a carb, they are easy to tune if you do your homework, make sure the dizzy is curved for the combo, the RPM or holley SD would be a good choice on an intake, if it was an A body, i would say either the M1 single or TM7.

There are not many hyd cams that can make the power 2800 to 6000 than 509 P4120237 degreed properly 102/103 with a 3000 ish stall and maybe 104 with a 3500. the comp cam above is also a good choice!

I would also look at the 60304 voodoo.. the gears, and compression point to the more aggressive cam IMO... Is the exhaust mandrel bent? otherwise, I'd consider 3"

Where did the 99539's end up at in the hole for you? IIRC they're blue printed to be .017 in the hole or something close??? You're right about 10:1 with the stealths?

---

I don't know. I am getting ready to drop everything off at the machine shop.
I don't have a exhaust yet. Will a 3 in. fit ok under my car.
I was advised to tell the shop to deck the block at 10.700 and use a .039 head gasket and that would put the piston at 0 deck to the block and get a .040 quench. Am I on the right track here?
Like I said this is all new to me and I am trying to understand this!!

First what is the torque converter you picked???
I would do 3" inch exhaust with X pipe right off the bat will give considerable more power and cost pennies more. Use Dynomax ultra flow welded and yoy will be happy. Mild but throaty, (not obnoxious) and as close to open header performance as you will get! And if you ever step up more in performance and engine size you are still there on the exhaust
I like a 750 3310 holley vac secondarie with your combo with maybe a lighter spring. hard to beat a 750 dp also. tuning problems are a myth. put them on set the float levels, then idle speed and idle mixture and go!!! Much easier to tune if you decide later but as shipped they are real close.

If you go with 3000 or more TQ the lunati 60304 looks good or even the 60305 (maybe advance it to 104) more cam more potential

---

That was one of the things I was going to ask input on. I have no idea on what size torque convertor to even consider. Anyone care to school me on this, tips,

3" exhaust will fit just fine on a B-body

I don't know. I am getting ready to drop everything off at the machine shop.

Ok, that's why the deck is down a bit... You will quench with the .039 gaskets and I would guess-timate compression at about 10.2 then (static)... You will want a bigger cam still like the 60304 voodoo for it. Tell the shop you want it at .005 in the hole (zero deck for all practical purposes.)

I have "0" experience with anything other than the stock rockers. How exotic of a rocker system would be needed to run the 60304.Roller?
what are the differences on the way this motor would run between the 60303 and the 60304?

I'm assuming these lunati cams are hyd. flat tappet, if so, i would go with some ductile iron rockers & a good set of pushrods like cranes, you really don't need anything expotic.

I'm using the X pipe with a 3" pipe with the dynomax mufflers, I don't like it. It sounds like crap compared with my other car which has the same exhaust but with a H pipe. Not worth it if there is even a performance advantage, I doubt it's even noticable on the street.
