Getting the most out of a low comp 440

No paymenets, the diesel was a steal, all it cost was my little sweptline nest egg, which I actually had started saving to fix my last diesel. Shouldn't be too much of a setback, just until I can sell the 4runner and some other twiddly bits, hopefully after the holidays, my machinist buddy just had knee replacement surgery anyway. I think a basic rebuild of the 440 would be a good practice run before I do it whole hog...and I might do it a little hotter now that it won't have to be a DD. :burnout: Won't bother with AC and overdrive.

Gotta get enough $ to do the 440 and 727, and some other smaller stuff on the swept. Steering box rebuild and whatnot.


I do think the Swept is mad at me though, peed ATF in the driveway last night.
