Hi everyone,

I'm looking to rebuild the 440 in my 65 Coronet for street/strip duty. I want to be able to run on pump gas to retain streetability. I live in NJ so I can get 92/93 octane. I am planning on a 4.15 stroker crank and rods from 440 source, with .030 over SRP forged pistons (p/n 231521 - 4032 alloy), Edelbrock Performer Alumimum heads (p/n 60929), Comp Cams Comp Kit CCA-K21-233-4 (290/298 .540/.558 - solid flat tappet) with Comp 1621 roller rockers (1.5 ratio), Edelbrock Performer 440 dual plane manifold (2191), Carter thermoquad, a 2800 stall converter, 3.91 gears (I also have a set of 3.55s and 3.23s to try out too if necessary) and 26 inch tall Mickey Thompson ET Drag radials. The cars has Mopar Performance Super Stock springs too.

With those edelbrock heads (84cc), a .039 gasket, knocking .010 off the deck of the block (guesstimate), on paper, the compression ratio works out to 10.75:1 and the pistons are .015 down in the hole.

Any ideas on what to expect horsepower-wise with this setup and what times I will run in the 1/4-mile? Are the Edelbrock Victor heads a good setup up, or are Victors too much for the street?

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Rob
