440 Handling?
Thanks for the ideas folks.
:-s
a small block stroker will easily get you that hp and bb torque .
Granted, but that's a lot more coin. I could take the same 440 and stroke it and still get more power. but that's not the point, I'm looking for a street friendly, pump gas friendly car that'll hold its own when I return to the track. not looking for an all out drag car or I would stroke it and bump the compression up.
I think 500 is very easily done from a 440, especially with some of the combo's/dyno testing results that have been posted on here. 500 out of a 360 is going to be a little bit harder, though possible, it'll probably take it out of the target for me and into the high compression realm, where I'm not wanting to go.
Plus I have the 440 and half the parts already, and my 440 just got back from the machine shop so it'd be a waste to switch now.
But thank you for the opinion.
As for the plan, it's still a work in progress.
