Yes, the same thing would happen with the 383/335 and that is the reason for a 330 h.p. (lower reving cam) in an A/C Bee or RR. In fact, the 383/335 is actually a higher reving engine stock than the 440.

Guys, I'm really not trying to be a jerk about this. But what changed in 1970 when you could get a 335- horse four speed A/C car? Was the compressor redesigned for 1970? If it was redesigned to handle the 383HP engine, why couldn't the same concept be adapted to the 440?
