2019 summer race.... Jadaharabi vs 318willrun
Can you elaborate on the 2500 dollar 440.
I guess I should say where the 2500 dollars comes in at, though. I spent a lengthy time fine tooth-and-combing a guy's car at the strip. He was very open about everything, as I am, and he had a '69 Dart with a 440 running 10.50's. He had a commando motor, factory compression, still running the cast heads, solid lift cam, single plane intake, 850 DP carb. Nothing fancy for ignition. 3.55's, 727, nice converter. I figured I could buy the engine parts he had for under 2500. Maybe I couldn't do it as well as him, or maybe I could do it better. I don't know, but that is why I threw out a "2500 dollar budget build". He did have slicks and open headers. But there are DOT tires that will hook, and 3" exhaust that will flow. I've always built small blocks to this point. I've owned a few big blocks, but never built one.
