I have an old 440 that was my first race motor in my 63 Plymouth, it is a cast crank LY rod engine with TRW's, belted the living daylights out of it running a best of 9.69 @ 135 with a small shot of gas. It has had a sleeve fitted to one cylinder after a pin walked but this engine still lives and is a 10.90 deal in my sons street valiant.
