A 440 A-Body... that can handle?
500hp is easy with a 440...
yeah, building the power is easy, but keeping it streetable is the big concern along with MPG (not expecting miracle numbers, but something "average" for a 440). Found a receipt for the motor work dad's friend gave me. This motor is set up for 10:1 Compression, is internally balanced, and had a nice $3K boat load of work on it. I'm almost ashamed at how little I paid for this... but the guy gave me EVERYTHING he had in the garage for it. Some of it I can use and some of it needs an upgrade from stock. I'm just gonna make a list of left over parts I'm not using and I'll post it in the for sale section... maybe make a few bucks to put into this project...
Also, just a quick poll as far as fuel economy goes... what do you guys think of those "quick fuel" easy EFI kits? I know they cost around $3K+, but do you think it's worth the trouble to set up and tune to save a little gas? Honest opinions are more than welcome.
Also, any recommendations on Intakes? Like I mentioned, I got that dual 4Bl single plane that I'm not willing to use. that might be going up for sale soon either on craigslist or the forums.
