8-71 on a fairly stock 440? - 04/19/12 07:09 PM
Soooo.... I'm toying with the idea of picking up an 8-71 blower kit for a 440...
I have two options to set it upon:
1968 440 HP Magnum that's currently in my Challenger;
1973 motorhome 440 with a steel crank;
I'd probably put it on the later due to likelyhood of having a lower compression ratio and if/when I scatter it there won't be anything desirable lost.
I plan on changing the cam to something wilder, maybe doing a mild port on a set of 906s but leave it otherwise stock.
I am just building a grenade by leaving the stock pistons and bottom end in it? The car already has a decent CD ignition system and headers/exhaust.
Thoughts?
