FYI,

67's had lower compression pistons and closed chamber heads
68-71 had higher compression pistons with open chamber heads. So, at the end of the day the net results for final compression was about the same.

Adding gears, a higher stall speed converter, and a stout cam will make the single plane work better for sure, they just come on later than a dual plane, less low end, more top end so you have to accomodate that.

Sweet project. Talk Jaybird into some headers.

Jay workin on the 440

Pretty clean old motor

New MP cam is installed 284/484

Car waiting for the motor

Crazy looking motor almost ready

Motor meets car

Using the Dodge truck to hoist the 440

Souped up 440 almost in

Finally it is in the Belvedere GTX clone. We got it running shortly after this picture. It sounds great with the new MP cam. Jaybird says it has alot more power with the new intake with one inch riser, 284/484 cam, hi-stall converter, flex fan, and removed the heat riser flapper from inside the exhaust manifold. It also got a new steering box

Purple doesn't match too good. Unless it hauls.....


Looks good congrats.

The purple monster is in and running well!

Its got a new gas tank now and runs pretty good!
