Ok basically im going to attempt to build this 440 around a roller cam and collecting the parts to make it work then put it all together without breaking the bank and I can drive it in the city and country side.The engine will be going into where a hemi 265 that's a six cylinder 3090lb (1402kg) I think by memory wheel base 115inch (2921mm)two door 1973 Chrysler valiant hardtop Factory wheels are 14inch this is a project car all that remains is a rolling bare shell with a 6 cylinder bw diff and 6cylinder torsion bars k- frame leaf springs etc,I have most of the parts for the big block conversion I have done this conversion before.Need to learn more?youre so right about that and this is the best place to start.Their is no gear box yet however I have a ford 9inch to collect off the farm not sure about gear ratio with that all I no is theyre strong and it came out of a factory 351 Cleveland car ford xa falcon.Finding a Chrysler v8 diff over here is very hard and the cost when you find one is bullshit,the ford diff was free.This build is nothing serious just a bloke havin fun I wanna make use of the monster I have sitting on a pallet wrapped in plastic under everyones feet in the shed,yes their is a drag strip 3hours from where iam which I would like to attend now and then for ***** and giggles.The other thing I want you to bare in mind is the closest machine shop is 5hours drive from me anyone decent anyway.I cant really think of anything else at the moment.Thanks for all youre help I hope this gives everyone a better hind site on what iam trying to achieve here,
