408 vs. 440: Which Would You Choose?

it only takes a very very mild 440 to get you into the 11's. I bet you could build a stock bottom end 440 with mid range forged off the shelf piston for allot less then the 408 bottom end. it takes nothing to make 425-450 hp with a 440.


stock bottom end rebuild with 9.5:1 pistons
comp cams 294s cam
stock 906 heads with decent valve job (bowl blend would be nice)
performer rpm intake
750 carb
1 3/4 + primary tube headers
3:55-3.91 rear gear
3500+ stall converter

done deal.
