I personally have based 440 based engine 505 stroker, flywheel dyno'd 620 HP @ 5900 / 620 torque @ 4800, 4.25 stroke/7.1 Rod, Keith Black forged flat top pistons, A&A max wedge cross ram with two 600 cfm Edelbrock carbs, Edelbrock RPM heads, CNC ported by Modern Cylinder Head, Bullet solid flat tappet cam 259/263 @ 0.050, nearly .600 lift, 108 centerline, BHJ balancer, TTI 2 inch headers, 10.5 compression. Never run down the quarter but its super fun and fast enough. Will run on pump gas but likes 100 or 110 leaded octane better with more advance like 35 degrees. 4:10 Dana, with A-1 4800 stall 8 inch converter, and Pro-Trans full manual 727. Installed in my 1964 Plymouth Savoy, street legal and driven often. Yes...I hate changing the spark plugs on the passenger side.



I made a special wrench to get my # 2 and # 4 plugs. I took an old offset 5/8 box wrench and cut it off so its about 3 inches long. Then I just come in from the front to get them as I slide my arm under the alternator and header and pop the # 2 & 4 plugs out with that box wrench that fits real good in my hand. But its best to do it with a cold eng. The #6 & 8 plugs are easy for me to get and I use the EZ heads. Ron





Here is the wrench I cut on the bench. It was an old Powercraft wrench my dad bought many years ago at Montgomery Wards.
