440 Build- Stock or Stroke ? for a nice street car!
And few times a year take it to the track!

Any one that has rebuild their 440 engine for a 70 Cuda 4sp-??
I have a 70 Block (NOT HP) ready to be built!
But not sure if should build stock- 375-400 hp
Or stoker- 400-500 hp build

Dont want a radical car,
one I can enjoy as a driver daily for Spring/ summer & Fall!!!

I have spoken to Mancini racing:
they say!
The cost is very close to same Stock or Stroker build!

Keep in mind cuda is "non- matching" numbers!
Please give some opinions & advice!

Thank you
Greatly appreciate it!

Sonny , Do you have a complete 440 core to work with? If so then leave it stock stroke. It really doesn't sound like you need or even want a whole lot of power. If all you have is a bare block then you may even want to consider a good small block. J.Rob
