Sorry for the late reply.. as so many of you are giving great input..!

I just want to thank all of you, for helping me to make the decision?
Not an easy one, since there are so many combinations of doing this build!

Yes I do have the 440-block with steel crank! Ready to go!
But iam not going to rush this build... want to get as much info & details as I can since you all have built engines on your Mopars!

But I think keeping it simple.. will be the key..!
I will be happy if i can build a 450-500 hp for my budget!
With a budget of about $6-$8 if I go with 440-6pack

I think i dont want to sacrifice drivability, that mens I will be leaning towards a stock Stroker with aluminum heads, & good pistons & a forged crank!


still deciding ON:
440- six -pack set up..!
Or
440- 4-barrel set up with a good intake!

Any input on my ideas is greatly appreciated!
Sonny
