Basicly starting from scrach on the short block, except for cam and gear drive. Heads are fixable (valves, slight dress up of 2 cyl and the spark plug bosses) Edelbrock RPM's. Cam is MP .590" solid lift. Question is, what are the REAL WORLD pro's / con's of a stock stroke 440 vs stroked 500 RB vs 470 B in regards to block life, horse power, torque, RPM's where the engine wants to run ect. I run two classes simultainously (one 1/4 mile, one eigth mile), easily puting 20 or more passes during the weekend (2 days), so I want to run the engine tune up conservitive. I'm fine with a stock stroke 440, but I'm not putting another stock crank in. It just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to spend the $'s on a after market crank and not stroke it though. Real world info needed here! Thanks, Brian
