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!

if your buying new stuff a 6pak will be $2500, a ch28 kit will be around $1200, good single 4bbl complete will be around $1000. I've been a die hard 6pak guy for decades; they will make power. but, the manifolds don't fit worth a crap and if you don't understand carb's they can be a headache. I pretty much ignore single 4bbl's anymore, but there are some simple options that will make power. currently i'm stuck on the ch28. for the money spent and ease of operation the ch28 can't be beat. if it were me i'd not do a 6pak and use the extra $1000+ on other parts or just plain stick the money in my pocket.
