Thinking of going BB...

I just hope some of them are decent priced. What should I expect to pay for a running/nonrunning 440?
IDK, sorry.
I'm getting the 383/727 no matter what. So many possibly valuable parts there to use or sell. Wouldn't the 383 crank need work as well for it to fit?
A 383 aint no slouch ethier, but a 400 has just a few more cubes. Everything on it is good to use.
Wouldn't the 383 crank need work to fit what? A chevy motor?
It's the same crank as the 400 only the 400 is cast!
If you have a 400 and a 383 crank, get the balancer from the 383 crank. It's different than a 400's. Slam dunk the 383 crank into the 400!

You need a book on MoPar big blocks. Go to a place like, umm, Manciniracing.com and get a engines book for the big block. It'll help stop your head from spinning around soaking up info that doesn't apply or that is needed.

No, it's really not, but its what I've got for now. And that is the plan. I'm definitely going to run iron heads and may stick with manifolds for now.

Theres an old saying, you can't exceed the speed of your wallet and your wallet at 2K is slow. Just do up the short block and go from there. That'll cost ya 2G! done right!
