I am starting to assemble my 440 this week. Anyone have a program that can figure the HP/TQ?

Here are the specs:

1966 .030 440 machined for 0 deck height.
Factory crank & rods
KB 237 flat top hyper pistons
Lunati Voodoo 60304 hydraulic cam 234/242 .513/.533 110LSA
Stealth heads, gasket matched
Edelbrock RPM intake
Holley 750 carb (all I have right now)
FBO igniton and worked distributor
Headman Headers
MP windage tray

I won't dyno it, but curious what you all think.

This going into a 65 Coronet 833 4-speed w 3.55 gears. Any guess on quarter miles numbers?

Thanks,



Differences in your build to mine:

yours is .030 over 440, mine is a .010 under 440 (383 block .060 over, 440 stroke)

both are zero deck

both are flat tops (mine are forged, yours are hypers)

my cam is a comp XE-275-HL, at .525/.525 lift, 275 duration advertized, around 235 @ .050 lift (so, if you provided @.050 duration numbers, dang near identical cams!)

OOTB Eddy heads, closed chamber variants vs your stealths

same intake

same carb (mine is an HP with no choke horns on it...is yours the same? or does it have a choke?)


So, it sounds as if our engines are dang near identical.

my did a best of run on the engine dyno at 505hp, 535 tq. but in a more "real world" test it was around 490hp, 530 tq, at the crank.

toss on water pump, alternator, full exhaust, hot engine bay (vs cool dyno room) transmission...I'm probably putting 380-400 to the ground. my 4200 lb Dakota did 13.9 in the 1/4 @ 103mph, spinning through just about all of first gear. mine is also a manual gear box (TKO-600), 4.56 gears in the axle, 28" tall tires.

13.9 was the best of 2 runs that day, first time at the track with the truck, I'm confident that I can get low 13s out of it, if not into the 12s with some practice and better traction.

put this combo into a car that's about 600 lbs less? ought to run pretty good!

as far as street ability, I did have power brakes on my dakota, and there was more than enough vacuum to keep it happy, I have since switched to manual brakes though, just for engine bay space
