All things considered I think I'm going to go with the felpro 1009's. My new cam is a racer brown custom grind [Email]243@.050[/Email] duration and .510" lift. I talked to Jim @ RacerBrown and we decided this is the best cam for my new goals... Do any of you guys use the copper sealer on the 1009's? The last 440 I built I used them with no sealer, but I sold the car shortly after? I had an oil seepage problem with this current stroker so I want to make sure I fix this seepage problem while I'm at it...
Good luck with those 1009's. My 440 at 4.350" had such a big chamfer at the top of the bore that the 1009 gasket overhung the bore by a bunch. My understanding is that this is a common problem at least with later 70's blocks.
Just a heads up to check.

+1. I had the same problem with a 75 440 block, the chamfers are ridiculously large. Needed the 8519 (4.5" bore IIRC) as the standard Fel-Pros wouldn't cover the chamfer.
YMMV, but check it. Don't assume.
