The Ultimate 440 Thread

Over twenty years ago I started with the same idea. I was going to build something absolutely mind-blowing. Then I started thinking (some people say it's my weakness, others may view it as a strength....). I like to drive my cars, and not just down the street. I like to get in, fire it up, and drive a couple hundred miles.

For this reason I chose to build a car with a very mild 440 so that I would have tons of low end grunt and the ability to drive the car. Most extremely high horsepower cars are a pain to drive on the street, much less long distance.

I am in the process of repeating that build, but this time with a 727 instead of the four speed, and this time in a Barracuda instead of a Dart. I still plan on putting the miles on the car whenever possible.
