Low Dollar RV 440 into a '79 Dodge Magnum

Process will include cutting the heads .030 to make up for the thicker fel pro head gaskets, valves will be done by me and some mild casting clean-up. We'll set the valve timing 2* advanced. Exhaust will be HP manifolds with dual exhaust.

And oh, what makes it low dollar? Engine and tranny together was 500 (400 engine/100 tranny).
  • 400.00 bucks for the 440
