Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

I keep going back to this post ^^
The original plan for the truck was the 440. It's the only reason I bought the 440, mounts, headers, etc. The 360 magnum was ONLY installed to give the truck some fun runs and challenge the traction while the 440 got "built".

FAST FACTS:
  1. 5.9 was never installed to be the permanent engine. Just an "in the meantime humor me" engine. It exceeded my expectations
  2. 440 got sidetracked and ended up in a '79 Magnum for a while and sat there with a trashed transmission behind it.
  3. '79 Dodge Magnum is gone, 440 is on the stand, and the transmission is in good hands.
  4. I think it's time to get back to the plan..... 440

Either way you can't go wrong, with the right parts the low cr 440 will perform, if that was and is the plan, sounds settled, I'd throw a decent sized thumper type cam in and go from there.
