Thanks for all the replies. What intake recomendations would you guys have, and carb thoughts too.
I already and running fenderwell headers, and its not a street car so fitting the 440 won't be an issue.

Another question, how much weight can I get rid of switching to Lexan windows.

Thanks
Pete


Sounds like you are leaning heavily towards the 440 block. The more cubes you put in that block, the lighter the parts get due to the very tall deck height. I have run 535 cubes in a 440 block, 4.5 stroke and 4.350 bore. Using a 7.10 rod with .990 piston pins and 2.2 rod journals makes for a good combo to get there. The piston gets real light due to a compression height of 1.35. They make a TON of torque and are very low rpm motors with small port heads.
