440 build...suggestions - 01/14/09 01:17 AM
Hey guys,
A guy by me is trying to get rid of a 440 short block. I might pick it up, but Im looking for build suggestions before I get it
74 block .30
steel crank
KB 237 pistons, moly rings
LY rods, arp bolts
Clevite bearings
I figure this would be a great starting point for a nice street build.
I would want to add a six pack setup on the top as this would be going in an A12 clone.
I would like to get about 10+ comp, run on pump gas, and get about 500 hp. I would like it to be more of a torque monster than a high end screamer.
Suggestions on heads and cam?
915? 906? Eddys? Procomp? about 2.14/1.81? roller rockers?
Any help and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
