The backstory: The cast crank 440 was built 15 years ago by famed Oklahoma Stock/SS racer and engine builder Jimmy Lewis. He put the 66 Satellite together for his son to drive, and it served that purpose for 10 years until he finally gave it back to his Dad. If you know anything about NHRA Stock Eliminator engine builders, well you know that the straight story is never going to be told. So when Dale purchased the car 3 years ago, Jimmy told him, "It's just an old 440 I threw together out of parts I had laying around the shop, it's like a 450 lift crane fireball cam, and honestly I can't believe it's still running!" Dale had it for a year, and swapped the stock dual plane for an Edelbrock Torker II, leaving the same 700DP in place. He noticed that the 452 heads had the exhaust crossovers filled with aluminum, I noticed when I changed valvecovers, that it had 2 distinctly different looking valve spring sets, sprinkled in randomly on the two heads. If I tried to tell you any other specs about the engine, I'd just be guessing, because we've never been in it!
