First fire-up of the 440" W2 Stroker small block

We'll be building a set of proper W2 flange headers for it

The motor is 10:1 with a Bullet custom grind 251/259 @ .050 solid roller with .605 lift and 109 centers. Heads are ported but the runners were not really enlarged very much, 90 percent of the work was in the bowls and transitions with the chambers and exhaust ported ceramic coated as were the faces of the 2.08 and 1.60 11/32 stem valves.

It's built to be a docile but super responsive street motor very similar to the 442" AMC we built for my buddys jeep that made 545/545. i suspect with these slightly better/faster solid roller ( the amc runs a 238/246 @.050 hydraulic roller with .612 lift) ramps and a bit better flowing ports this one will make about 580 torque and 575 hp all in by 5800.

i may hit it with a 200 shot for fun since it runs so cool.
