Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...
For clarity. I will NOT use NOS. Now that that's out of the way..... the question:
Will a bottom dollar 440 out run the 5.9 in our '80 D150. In other words, can I do a max of 500 bucks into the 440 and out run the 5.9 numbers.
the 5.9 is 200,000 mile motor with an oregon regrind cam and 4bbl.

- 440 is an RV engine.
- I have 2 intakes, a single plane torker or the factory cast.
- I have 2 sets of heads. 452's freshly done or 906 that look to be freshly done
- So the money would be spent on the cam/lifters.
