I just bought a 500" ,440 source stroker kit, 11to1, its going in a 66 Coronet with an 8" Turbo action converter, 4:30 gears 3200# car, what head, valve train combo would get me there? Be budget minded, Im not lookin to be cheap but not overkill either, thanks in advance

Indy 440-1's

who would you get the Indys through? I thought all their stuff needs to be gone through before you bolt em on. Cam? Roller?

I have gone 10.26 so far,,,,with a 440 (.030) with ported Edelbrock heads,,,,and your car is lighter than mine by about 150 lbs.

plus i can use all my usual valve train stuff,,headers,,,etc,,,and stay low buck.

maybe the INDY EZ would be a step up from the E heads... ?

Who did you get the ported Edelbrocks from? 69CHARGERMD? What cam are you running?

I don't quite agree that 440-1's would be budget minded. The Harland rockers cost more for the 440-1, I think an EZ headed combo with the Crane R280 roller would make a great combo, or ported super Victors.
I run the ported 440-1's on my 500" low deck, I'm getting it figured out but haven't been super impressed so far compared to my old 451 E-headed combo but that car was lighter and had a big tire.

My Edelbrocks were done by Dwayne Porter (board member here,,,),,,work is outstanding,,,highly recomend him.

Cam is a solid cam, comp cams, custom grind, ( not a roller ),,,
specs; 269/274 duration
640 lift
111 lobe
installed @ 109*

Flow on the heads per Dwayne are :
305.4 @ .700
303.6 @ .650
301.8 @ .600
etc,,,,

Car is low maintenence relatively speaking,,,
My goal is to get under the 10.20 range,,,as i work on my 60' times,,etc.

good luck,

Doug

Thanks for the info Doug, sounds like the combo I'm lookin for.

On a side note...

The last time I asked Al_Aguire what I should do to consistantly run in the 10's... He told me to race 1/8th mile only..
