That induction set up is awesome. Not ideal to feed a 700hp monster but its intention was for the 375hp Magnum motor and reasonably hotter. I assume no problems with your flat tappet cam and lifters? Im scared to run a modern flat tappet. Strokers are all the rage and I want one but if someone can obtain a cared for 440 where an old school rebuild with hotter parts is feasible it makes for an excellent hot street setup while keeping costs down. Your probably around 460 plus HP and 500 plus lb ft of torque?


Lew's been around the block a few times and is tuner. His show winning R/T with a pump gas, iron headed stock-ish 440 with manifolds was on the cusp of 12 sec ets at 108 mph. I bet his Plymouth with the above described engine is knocking on the door of an 11 sec et.
