Daily driver 440 trying to get around 550hp/600tq (ill take 25 less hp with around the same torque or slightly less anyday)
440 source 500” stroker kit (flat tops, but dont know which, depends on how much overbore is needed, somewhere between 10.15? and 10.96 comp)
Edelbrock rpm heads
Holley sd intake (is the street and strip dominator the same for the 440?)
800-850? holley vac sec carb
Hydraulic roller cam (need suggestions, because from what ive heard from helpful people and complete a**holes, i need 250 @.050 to make around 550hp/600tq, and it shouldnt be really revving past 600, so would i need to try solid roller lifters for stability?)
1 3/4” hedman headers (or 1 7/8” if necessary, i dont want bigger simply to say theyre bigger)
3” exhaust im assuming? Again not bigger just to be bigger, would 2.5” be too small?
ARP head bolts and main studs
(Pretty sure i forgot some stuff i dont have my idea list with me)
Anyone that was responding condescendingly on the other thread just dont bother replying to this. Youre not helpful.

Please see the 18 other threads for relevant responses

440 source 500” stroker kit (flat tops, but dont know which, depends on how much overbore is needed, somewhere between 10.15? and 10.96 comp).....YES

Edelbrock rpm heads...NO TRICKFLOW.

Holley sd intake (is the street and strip dominator the same for the 440?)...SAME INTAKE, IDLE>6000RPM

800-850? holley vac sec carb....850DP AS YOUR MANUAL TRANS, MUCH BETTER...my2c.

Hydraulic roller cam (need suggestions, because from what ive heard from helpful people and complete a**holes, i need 250 @.050 to make around 550hp/600tq, and it shouldnt be really revving past 600, so would i need to try solid roller lifters for stability?).....DON'T NEED SOLID ROLLER, STD HYD OR HYD ROLLER 240>250@.050@500ci quite mild, MAX 6K RPM

1 3/4” hedman headers (or 1 7/8” if necessary, i dont want bigger simply to say theyre bigger)....1.7/8"

3” exhaust im assuming? Again not bigger just to be bigger, would 2.5” be too small?..2.5" OK, 3" LOUDER, LESS MPG

ARP head bolts and main studs...GOOD BUT NOT NECESSARY

Wow.....just wow.

Go ahead. Explain. Or stop replying.

Wow.....just wow.

You said 27 on one of the others. Did he delete 9 of them? I stopped counting...

A stock stroke 440 with stock steel crank, stock (w/arp bolts)rods or new h-beams, and a flat top forged piston close to 0 deck. You'll want a piston with 2.05-2.067 compression height.
Trick Flow cylinder heads,
Any nice hydraulic, or hydraulic roller with anywhere from 230-245 duration and .550 valve lift is gonna get you 525-550 horsepower with tons of torque. `And you will live happily ever after.

Thank you so much. Was this so hard lol? Why couldnt anyone else do this? And why was everyone so bit*chy? I was asking for anawers. Not “ur an idiot”.

All the answers were here already.

It's called research. The little search feature is wonderful for that....but some people need it spelled out.

I didn't read the whole previous thread, but this is a good starting point here from viperblue72:



You're building primarily a street car and this has a wide margin of error to work with. As already stated you're not going to go wrong using the above as a starting point.

To answer some of your questions I saw from this thread: if it were me I would the 1 7/8" headers and 3" exhaust. The 2.5" exhaust on my car killed 30 wheel horse power on the dyno.

Use the Trick Flow heads. This is probably my only regret with my build. The Eddies are just about the same price and are an inferior head.

So i should go with the trick flows (240s, right?), but how would that affect daily drivig, would the extra flow cause any issues?

Yes,use the Trick Flow 240s.

There will be no issues with the extra flow.

The only negative effect will be the ability to roast the tires with less throttle.

#1 you are not in charge and have no right to tell others not to post.
#2 No one here owes you anything, but you act like your entitled to instant attention.
#3 All of these topics, from exhaust to tires to engine builds have been covered many times and are readily available by using the search function.
#4 Your lack of knowledge about the effects of cam choices and how seemingly minor changes(to you) in duration, can have a major effect on streetability. Cams can be confusing to most of us, but you can educate yourself by doing some basic research on many of the cam manufacturers sites, to help you better understand the good advice you are being given.
#5 Stop shotgunning so many different topics at one time, stick to one topic until you learn what you need to know, then move on.
You are beginning to wear out your welcome here and pretty soon, because of your attitude, you won't be getting any help at all.
This sight is a great resource with many knowlegable people who will bend over backwards to help, but you need to learn to Focus, Listen, and show some Respect to those who are taking THEIR time to help YOU out.
You get what you put into it.

Just a question. What is your definition of daily driver? Mine is one that I depend on every day to and from work. Maybe I'm getting old but I wouldn't want to drive an old 500 hp hotrod every time I leave the house. Do you have another ride? Just wondering while reading your posts.

The 240s are not too big. Theyre made for a hi po 440.

Yes, you could go too big. Heads like Brodix or Predators would be too big.

Go with the 240s....

Dont use the 240 heads, use the 250 heads that came on the 1968 383 2bl they work great, get a purple shaft cam, the 3/4 one, problem solved.

Just to make sure im getting this right: so 240 instead of 210 wont negatively affect daily driving?

Nick - I see from your profile that you're a student, and if you are in fact college age, it makes a little more sense how you are conducting yourself here. If that's the case, most of the guys posting here are old enough to be your father and some your grandpa. Show some respect!

I was young once too, and made plenty of bad decisions along the way. The one thing I never did was disrespect my elders, and certainly not when I was the student and they were the teacher.

I'm going to make one more attempt to help guide you through this before you go and burn your bridges. (Hate to sound harsh but remember, you need us more than we need you). Refrain from your defensive responses, and go spend a few hours reading through the tech archives and learn how different things work. There's plenty of info on cams, heads and strokers, among other things.

Show some appreciation when people take the time to give you feedback, instead of just spinning their response into another question. And last but not least, don't start any new topics until you are able to understand that all of your questions thus far have already been answered multiple times. This is not a riddle, it's fact. Go back and read and re read.

So youre trying to say im disrespectful for responding the way i did to people that were completely rude for no reason? When people have actually helped, or even tried to help i have said thank you. Not to the people that are rude. The #1 question i repeated multiple times was finally answered once today. I have done a hell of a lot of research. Just not experience to put together a build. Isnt that the point of this forum? I have been going over every one of my threads 24/7 even in school non stop. But so far its either someone saying to get exactly what they have, or someone being rude. Theyre have been a total of maybe 10 people that have actually at least tried to help.

Many people TRIED to help you, but you didn’t take their advise. You were even given direct links to engine builds.
Just because YOU don’t like the answer to a question, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

I cant be the only one here who thinks the op has the typical defensive attitude common in this new younger generation deal............

Lol ok ur definitely right... (que the “hah now hes defending himself from me saying hes defensive”). When people are rude for no reason i will be like this. Especially if its affecting the thread from actually being helpful to me or anyone else that might need it. This is a mopar forum so whys everyone acting like 12 year olds on xbox?

Also - you won’t be happy daily driving a stock stroke 440 with a 250 @ 50 cam.

Nick, all you have to do is review your previous threads to gain a little insight.

You’ll notice a lot of knowledgeable people have given you great advice / info to use and study.

You’ll also notice as your threads continue, these people disappear as a result to how you respond within these threads.

You be the judge on whether your actions are getting the results you wish to receive.

Also - you won’t be happy daily driving a stock stroke 440 with a 250 @ 50 cam.

Ill just ignore the stuff ive heard a million times that isnt about cars. The 250@.050 would be pretty good for the stroker correct?

It also depends what you're willing to live with. I had a 509 cam (advanced a couple degrees) in my old Charger. Low compression 440, 750 Holley, 1 7/8 headers, 4 speed and either 2.76, 4.10 or 4.30 gears depending on what rearend parts were broken at the time. Zippy helped me put it together many years back. It got driven on and off year round, including when it was 20* out. It was a little soggy to drive with the 2.76 gears but other than that it was fine.

I haven't read all of the threads by the OP..But the first thing I would ask is what is the budget and how far out is the planned build...My granddad always told me that you can poop in one hand and wish in the other and see which hand fills up faster...

Sounds like the budget is pretty open...

Dude...Don't bark up the wrong tree..I don't even have facebook..Quit being a dick..
