If he wants to go 5.7, let him.



I just questioned his reasons, many people have built 440's that got good mpg and were fast.

If he wants an EFI 5.7 for the sake of having one that is all well and good, nothing is to be further said.

I spent a little money going EFI on the hot rod and I'm glad I did.




My next on will be EFI for a number of reasons... new garage first though!

The stock 5.7 heads will out flow my B/RB Edelbrock RPM heads. There is some serious power potential lurking in there.



While this is technically true the 440 block, rods, crank and pistons are all stronger.

I know people who build turbo 5.7 hemis, there is a point that shows up in a hurry where you have to start throwing pistons and rods away.

The heads might flow but everything else is parts geared toward low emissions/saving costs.
