I didn't end up picking up the crank today but did get a 440 short block so let the games begin it's a '76 vintage with stock pistons, crank and rods. I am thinking about either a 4.15 or 4.25 stroker crank.

I am not sure what hp I want but I would like to build a solid street/strip stroked 440 that doesn't require a lot of maintenance.

Right now I have a standard stroke 030 over 440 with trw six pak pistons (not zero decked), 84cc eddy heads, 509 cam, eddy rpm intake, mighty demon 850, in my 72 cuda. It has been in the car for 10 years and am just looking for more.

I have the following parts that I will move over from my existing engine and/or are already in the car

- 84cc eddy heads
- eddy rpm dual plane or mopar m1 single plane
- 850 mighty demon
- comp cams pro mag rockers
- msd 6al
- msd billet distributor
- hooker 2" primary headers into 3" full exhaust
- 727 w/reverse man valve body and 10" turbo action vert
- 4.10 gears
- 28" tire
- pump gas

Based on the parts above would you go with a 4.15 or 4.25 stroke crank?

Any cam recommendations?
