Eddy 75 CC heads or 80 CC 440 Source heads The carb and exhaust are smaller than I would use for a drag only car but the parts you have aren't a really bad start, go for it Make sure and degree that cam in so the intake lobe center is advanced at least 4 degrees up to 6 degrees advanced to help the bottom end with that converter BTW, did that motor come out of a Chrysler or Imperial? Is it TNT motor? Did you measure how far down the pistons are from the block deck? I've had several 1966 440 blocks that came out of Imperials and Chryslers, one of them was a August of 1966 casting date so it went into a 1967 car, not a 1966 production Mopar

I bought it 20 years ago. Ran it with a MP 509 cam, stock heads and torker intake for 2 years. Same other parts I will be reusing. Ran 12.0's @ 114. I don't have access to the block. It's in storage. I have no idea what the ID pad had on it. No pics. I thought maybe I could get it into the mid 11's with the better intake and heads. I have access to some bigger headers. Always looking for other converters too.

2" headers are too big for what you're building. 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" max. I feel the Trick Flow 240s are good for that combo.

an8sec70cuda, Thanks for the input. Love your car. DusterKid,it would be going in my Dart. Besides the powerport 240 heads and 1 3/4 headers what is the rest of your combo and what does she run after the head swap?

Not sure, just bought the heads this winter and going to try a bigger carb, will hopefully find out here in March at a Test n Tune.
Old Combo was a 440, .030 over 10.3:1, .590 solid cam, 440 source heads that had a little bit of porting done, 440 Victor Intake and a 750 DP, 2" TTIs went 10.80's with that combo on a good day.
New combo is a 440 .040 10.9:1, .557 solid cam (smaller than before but short block was already together). Trickflow 240, Victor 440 Intake , going to try the 750DP as a baseline than swap a 850 Proform on it and see how that does and using 1 3/4" TTIs.
