440 vs. stroker 408 build?

:burnout: I called mopar engines west and they said 3500 -5000 to build me a 440 out of my core, and victory machine gave a similar bid. Holy smog pumps, batman! I will have the block mag'd and cleaned for 350, a bore and possibly line bore if neccesary,at whatever the rate will be, and assemble it myself! I will order some 906's from aero heads, and a spring/cam/lifter kit from hughes. stock crank, rod's, and I'll hunt down some hypertectic .030 dishes, speed pro,or kb, find a good sale, know what I mean? there has to be a way to get'r'done and done well without slapping down 5000. 440 source has some ripper deals, and of course, craigslist. I'll find a rpm manifold, or weiand stealth, for a song online, I'll have to be patient and creative and strike a deal like a loan officer, but I know I can build a 440, with my blue printing books and some friends to guide me.... :yawinkle:
