Building a 77 motorhome 440

i rebuilt a RV 440 with a stock bottom end and some speed pro L2355F forged units. up top i bought the edelbrock performer RPM kit-- heads, cam, intake, timing chain and lifters. i backed it up with a mild 727 that had a shift kit and RV converter in it and some 3.23's
I like it. You definitely need pistons but shouldn't have to buy a stroker kit unless moneys no object. JMO
