You name the road and its on...

Road???? What the heck are you talking about? What are we going to talk about next. NOS. I love when a guy builds a small block at about 10 times the cost of a big block and still has to add a power adder. My engines are built by ME in MY garage with off the shelf parts.

yea i love when a guy spends 12.000$ on a set of predator heads,in a tube chassis car that weighs 2500lbs and does 8.30's u got an 8.30 car? bring it to etown and watch how many people will race u with small blocks...ps i dont believe u have an 8.30 car either..lol

My point. You can make a 340 or any SB run it will just cost you a butt load of money. And forget about using one in a 3800 lb B-body. You can run 10's in a heavy b-body w/ a stock stroke 440 w/ good off the shelf heads, small roller or 600ish solid cam, 4000 stall and 4.56's.
Small blocks are fine and yeah they can be fast but at what cost? If you are building a bracket car and looking for 10.90's and don't have a deep wallet I'd think the best route to go is w/ a BB. The guy isn't talking about running 8's spinning his junk to 7500. He wants a weekend beater. Shoot I'd bet w/ a decent tune you could get a 440 into the 10's w/ an old school 509 and iron heads.

I used to have a 380 cu in 11.5 to 1 eddy headed stock block eagle rods that would go 10.70s on pump gas and 9.70s on c-12 and 200 shot.I didn't have alot of money in that setup. Got crank new closeout mopar 500, and got the eddys used 800. So I bought eagle rods and got the machine work done witch is pretty much the same big or small block.So I had about 4500 in whole motor to go 10.70s in a 3350 lb a body.

i sold those heads for $800. should have kept them though. had my hours cut in the dark hours of the bush era

Yea you should have keep them, that was my favorite motor for sure and those eddy's ran allsome for what they were.

My stock stroke 440 would run those numbers easy in a-body. Probably do 10.90's in this big pig with a 4bbl, more stall and 4.30's that is a big time modified SB. what gear/stall? Agian any motor can run, just what are you will to pay and put up with? I drive mine to the track and home. 10.9's in any car is going to be easier and cheaper w/ a 440.

Calm down small block guys we still like younz.
Now back to the original poster. It doesn't take a lot of work to build a 440 to run 10.90's in a 3000# car. 30 years ago before we had all the go fast products that are available now. I used this combo to run 9.80 in a 74 duster that weighted 2900# with me in the seat.
2900# total weight
.030 over 440 with TRW forged dome pistons
Stock rods (direct conection bolts, shot peened, polished beems)
stock forged crank
750 comp cams roller cam
Weiand tunnelram with two 750 holley carbs (76 jets summer-78 jets fall)
4:56 rear gear
727 trans
14-31-15 goodyears
superstock springs (001-002)

Pretty simple build but with the parts available now its crazy not to use a set of h-beem rods and an after market crank. Or you could go with a 4.150 crank and really blow those small blocks away.

I thought about it but I already have the 440 and the fenderwell exit headers.

At least with a 440 all you need is a cam.
360 combos with stock crank and heads are not nearly as promising, not saying impossible, but you need to be a household name to build one. then again pushing around a 2800 lb car +driver, isn't really pushing any envelopes either.

ran best of 10.84 mostly would run 10.90s 11.00s motor ran for 7 years !!! untouched we could show up at the track ready for 1st round no time runs and dial it in by the air quality best bracket car

this was in 1984-1991

Re: Lets hear your stupid fast 440 combo's - 07/13/11 11:59 AM

This motor is no longer with us, once the crank broke on the rod journals it was all over but it had a lot of runs on it. It was a .055" over stoke stroke 440 with Venolia domed pistons, BME aluminum rods, .640 solid roller, EZ-1 cnc ported Indy heads, Indy intake, QF 950 on 110 octane. TTI 2" headers, 727, 3360lbs on the footbrake would run 9.70's in decent air and 9.80's the rest of the time.

"Stupid Fast 440's"....... That was a long time ago..

So long, that I really can't remember..

If I did, it would probably be faster now than it really was..

Aren't they always..

What crazy people try to race a 4000 lbs car? Why?

because anybody can make a light car go fast.

mr yuck,i have nothing against bb,but for u to dismiss sb's is a joke..i love when i spank a big tire,bb,gutted car..and if that bb gutted tin can beats me,,so what i have pump gas sm blk! do u see the irony

dude..sb's are ok. Agin you make anything fsat. how much money you want to toss at it? I'll tell you what say you have a nice a-body and $3500 to build a 10 second motor. you going to go w/ a 340 or a 440? what ever you can do to a SB you can do to a bb and run faster. PERIOD. My junk is 446ci and uses off the shelf parts that any knuckel buster can assemble in his/her garage. No special tools no special crank, rods bla bla bla. It'd run low 10's in an a-body with a single 4 more gear and stall. Fact is you can make 500 HP and over 500 ft lbs of torque w/ a stock stroke, hydro cam, non-adjustable rockers, single 4bbl, iron headed 440. Can you do that w/ a 340? NO.. you can't.

I'm with AWBDART on this one, I've build & raced several 440 A bodies, do they run good, yeah, are they cheap, Ah no, I've seen several so-so non stroked 340/360 A bodies spank mild 440 A bodies

, I know of MANY mild 11 second SB A bodies out there on pump gas, 360 parts are way cheaper then 440 parts, most are damn near as cheap as a 350 chevy, The illness of the SB was (other then the W2s) were the crappy "yes i said crappy" earlier open chambered iron heads, The newer magnum style are so much better, When i had my junkyard 360 magnum in my dart, I had a total of 1800.00 in it, that was with a brand new set of 850.00 RHS heads & the 300.00 i paid for the engine, small re-ground cam & a knock off RPM intake. I drove that car to the track every weekend (100 mile round trip) & ran 12.5s all night on 87 octane, hardly any stall or gears (11" 2800 PTC & 3.73s), I easally could have put that car in the 12.2s with a 4.30 gear & a 3800 9.5" & still drove it there, I had a guy racing his rebuilt 446 dart accuse me of running nitrous because i ran exactly what he did in his 72 dart, he didn't understand it

, I've had a few SB A bodies in the past, I love my BBs, but from now on i'll stick with a SB for my A body, Magnum of coarse. If you look at the one video in my sig., I raced a 69 Yenko 427 camaro, those cars were fast, he ran 12.4s too my 12.5s, he came & chit chatted with me & was highly impressed when i told him what i had, he thought for sure i had a BB

Eric, did you buy most of this stuff used like the heads & HS rockers, If not, i don't see how you could have only 3K with 1400.00 heads, not so cheap rockers & 400.00 pistons not counting the other bolt-ons & cam/lifters/timing set/pushrods/bearings/rings/carb & all the machine work unless this was 20+ yrs. ago or you own a machine shop

., just saying, I did my 451 for 3600.00, but i only had 450.00 in the heads.

Just had to drop the 6-pack on and paint it orange.
Thanks Gumbydammit.

lol what a typo...i obviously meant 440

that 400 you mentioned sounds like it ran hard! I was thinking of putting a 400 or 383 low deck in my a-body, but because i was on a super tight budget and already had the small block stuff (plus the clutch linkage to contend with headers and such) i figured id stay sb..sometimes i wish i had gone the B/RB route though...I dont care what anyone says, dollar for dollar you can go faster for less with the bigger motors imo
