6 Speed
440 +0.030 with Ross pistons, 0.990" pins. Ultradyne solid lifter cam with 243 duration @ 0.050, 108 LSA, 0.548" lift with a 1.5 rocker. Oil pump pickup enlarged to 1/2" and a few other oiling mods. Engine machine work was done my Muscle Motors in 2001. With ported iron heads, 10.1:1 compression, an Eddy dual plane and an 840cfm BG carb it ran 90mph in the 1/8th mile in Denton with air temperatures at about 102 that day.
When I took apart the car to paint it I called MM back up and asked them to build me some Edelbrock RPM heads. They did some mild porting which brought the flow to 306 @ 0.6". Mike tells me with the head swap alone I could pick up almost a 100hp. They flow about 25% more than the iron heads flowed. These are the 75cc version of the heads; with my pistons at zero deck, the FelPro blue gasket, and the as finished chamber size the compression comes in at 11.3:1.
The intake is Mopar part number P3690982. It is an intake designed by Weiand and Mopar for super stock racing. The runner length is tuned for a stock stroke 440. Some believe it is the best cast manifold ever made for the 440. The intake I found new, never used or modified and sent to F&B performance. They did some clean up and gasket matching on the intake, then did their port injected EFI six pack conversion. The throttle bodies are good for up to 1900cfm? Basically, not much restriction, just an air valve. A lot larger throttle bore than the stock six pack carbs. This intake is well known for its fuel puddling issues in the upper plenum, low speed fuel mixtures issues and other rude behavior for a street car; it is also known for the straight line power. I imagine the port EFI pretty much eliminates all the bad things... no fuel in the upper plenum to go the wrong way!
I have a Aeromotive A-1000 in tank pump and a XFI 2.0 EFI controller that has an input for a flex fuel sensor to automatically adjust the fuel ratio based on the % of alcohol and built in traction control. I am setting up the fuel system to be able to run E-85 or a mix of that and 93. There are three gas stations in my immediate area with E-85 at the pump.
With my "little" street cam and my EFI intake it could be close to 600hp. With the iron heads this was a solid 11 second car. I am changing from an automatic to a stick, adding EFI and a few other changes. I just want a little better performance and a car that is more pleasant to drive. Better heads, a little more compression, EFI, and a six speed manual transmission. Should be interesting.
