swapping a 440 into a a body

if you got an extra 3k get the hemidenny kit. gives you way more room, more options for engines (small block, big block B, big block RB, gen 3 hemis, gen 2 hemi), tighter steering, coil overs, very sturdy kit... also it replaces all your front end parts in one swoop. and drop about 50 pounds too.

if not, do the schumacher mods talked about above. less money.

schumy headers fit very well either way you go. TTI's will work & give about 20 more horsepower on the top end, but sometimes you have to clearance the tubes a bit to massage them so they fit. so dont get the fancy coated ones until you get them fit, then get them jet hotted or something after.

watch out for certain intakes (like performer rpm ) which will require you to put on a hood scoop most likely. the holley street dominator people have better luck with hood clearance.

also with a 440 you will need to unhook the J hook inside the heater box door and unbolt the heater box from the firewall and drop it back until you get the engine in, as the 440 valve cover will be 1/2" away or so from the blower motor. so you cant have it in the way when inserting the engine.

also with 440 you may need to offset the master brake cylinder toward the fender (doctordiff.com cass has a kit on there, and the adjustable pushrod)

probably some other stuff we are forgetting.

it's definitely a cool project. good luck with your build Abodies fly with a big block lol.
