Ok, so.............. I kinda blew up my 400. Well, maybe just broke it real good. I might post that video later. Hears the deal, I have a 440 that I am going to build. I have started collecting parts, but I will not start it until I have the money to do it right. I also have a 78 motorhome 440 with 28,000 miles. It is as clean as a pin. This is my econo build.

My original plan was to get my heads for my big build and use the springs, retainers and lock for the smoger. I don't have the money for the heads yet. I was going to go with Lunati 268 voodoo. Now that my 400 is down, I am looking for advise.

Here is what I have.

Mystery cam: 465 lift (that's all I know) out of the 400.
Edelbrock Performer 440
HV oil pump

Ok, that's about all I have for the smog motor.

Here are the rules: Bolt on only. I will not even pull the heads. I don't have to use what I have, but this is a buget. I do also have. A set of Crane 1.6 rockers and push rods for my other build that could be borrowed.

Looking for advise, what would you do?
