Quote: I do agree the 440 will make more hp and cost you about 1/3 a much to build. Takes a bunch of work to make 500hp w/ a 360. Not much on a 440.
you keep saying its 1/3 price...please explain to us how to build a stock 440 and make 500hp,also if u dont mind explain why it would cost so much more for a sb!not tryin to be a wise guy here,,just curiouse cause the bb stuff seems to be the same price if not more
because you need to do MUCH more to a SB to get the numbers out of them. How hard is that to figure out? A stock stroke 10:1 440 w/ ported iron/Alum heads, 520ish hydo cam, headers, intake and a decent carb will get you close to 500hp. You won't need a ton of stall because you won't have to spin the pee out of it to get it rolling or tall gears. Can that be done to a 360 and make 500hp...NO So if you are looking for 500hp and you have A. a 440 or B a 360 sitting on your shop floor which are you going to use? You seem to be Mr. Smallblock so tell me what it takes to make 500hp in one.
