500+ HP from 440 How would you build it? - 09/21/09 02:45 AM
Ive been chasing my tail on this so I thought Id get yalls input. Im looking for 500+ streetable HP from a 440. Im looking for mid to low 11s with this.
Id like to use my tunnel ram and holley 600 carbs.
Id also like to stay with a Hyd cam non roller
Everything else is changeable. I know this can be done with eddy heads a big roller ect ect. But Im looking to use what I have.
I have a stock late 70s 440 block and crank. I was going to keep the bottom end stock but bump compression to around 10-10.5 with a set of forged pistions. I also have a set of 452 heads.
Tranny will be 727 prepped with about a 3000-3500 stall. A Dana 60 with 4.10 gears tires about 28-30in.
