77’ 440 rebuild

I’d like it to run on pump gas so I can take my wife out on town but I’d also like to blow past my buddies and their dumb rice rockets. Something with some kick if that makes sense
Yeah that makes sense, 9.5-9.75 compression with iron heads is good for pump gas, get a decent gear and a decent converter put a cam that's in the mid 230s duration at .050, if you want a real tame tire fryer put in the tiny cam RRR mentioned, it might be a good sleeper but will run out of steam around 5000 rpm but for street only that's great 3.55 gear will probably be best unless you like a lot of freeway driving
