bigblockbryan OP super stock Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 793 United states wisconsin	okay im thinking about building supercharged 440 for the 69 super bee clone my goal is 6-700 horse streetable with a manual trans also would it be a good idea to use a 500 inch stroker kit. From 440 source low compression forged internals this is a idea i wont be building a motor tell spring im going to get the body done first.

I'd think's easier to do it w/ more cubes, especially if you have to get new rods/pistons/bore anyway. [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

There's enough power produced with a blower and stroker cranks just add to the oil control problems strokers and blowers create. Boost slows oil draining to the pan. You don't need both and both together are not cool at all to me. Just says someone has more money than sense to me and they don't work well together.

I'm not familiar with blowers. Could you elaborate on oil control problems with strokers and blowers? How does boost slow oil draining to the pan?

It, not the 440Source kit, is going to be your limiting factor. I don't believe the oil problem is as dire as has been painted. If you're going to put a blower on top of a stroker motor, better start with an aftermarket block. Then invest in some bigtime chassis stiffening or your Bee is going to twist the first time it hooks up well. R.

I know nothing about blower motors. I'm not much of a motor guy at all. But I'm curious why the additional stroke would make things worse? Does it relate to the extra air volume under the piston inside the block displaced and/or additional piston speed?

Ask the blown guys about the oil blowing out of the breathers on the valve covers. Now granted 500 inches is not that large and know he is not talking about 40-60lbs of boost, but still.

R. 600-700 N/A? not w/o a craaaaaap load of work and high $$$ parts, not to mention the crazy gear and convert you'd have to run to make it work. while a 600hp boosted motor would be calm as a kitten and you wouldn't need all the crazy internals of a high dollar race motor.

I like the roots set ups. do it how you like. my cousin is building a 440 8-71 street car right now. it should make all of 600 Hp and will be a torque monster. should be done late this summer go for it!! love the 69 coronets!! HEMI,S ARE FOREVER!!!

You can make a solid 600-700HP from a stock stroke 383 with a roots 6-71 on top (ask ChrisF), to brag about having 500 cubes under boost and the same would just be embarrassing. The 440 is easy, and cheap (relatively) to supercharge. I'd personally go with the 400 (stock stroke), but then you're looking for a good manifold. Hell, to even use a stock 440 to its street potential under boost is pushing the block a bit, so adding more cubes is also asking for trouble. In my opinion 700HP should be your absolute minimum HP goal. Anything less is just heating up the air for no good reason other than showing off.

The 400 blocks have a lot thicker main web Way better choice for a blower motor I had tried to put a comment on another post on here about using a 10:71 blower instead of the 6:71 blower,(it didn't make it onto that post ) you can turn the 10:71 a lot slower and make the same amount of boost without heating the inlet temps and loosing HP do to driving the smaller blower faster compressing the air more to make the same HP and torque make sure and have the crankshaft cut for two keyways, same thing(dual keys ) on the blower hub or dampener Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

You will also need a 630+ lift cam...not street friendy. The heads will have to be worked, and Indy heads aren't cheap to start with. Not to mention that motor was 12.5:1. Good luck running that on pump gas. Can it be done, sure but a boosted engine will be much easier to deal with. And cheaper in the long run.
