    Dyno testing a stock(?) 1972 440

    Damn nice thread. Thanks for putting the work and effort in. Brutal combo and cheap. Care to speculate what bumping the compression 2pts would do for that engine power wise?

    bent pushrods big block

    stock pushrods? I as because i went with 3/8 push rods and noticed that a few of mine were rubbing on the side of the head almost enough to deflect them. Have you checked them all where they pass though the head?

    What are the limits of them 6-pack rods? I assume this will be spinning at a higher RPM 6500+.

    Deck Height Variance

    I think that depends on how much they have to take off. I know when I started pricing machine work. Seemed like it revolved around .010 increments.

    just rebuilt runs bad

    I guess I have to ask. I know several have touched on this being a timing/cam install issue. I guess while your chasing everything down and yes I know its more work but why not pull the timing cover and verify? Or maybe you did and I missed it?

    Custom ground camshaft, low power

    agreed something doesnt sound right. your build sounds like an easy 500+ hp at the crank they say you lose 15-20% at the wheels but that should still be upper 300's and low 400's

    Depressing Dyno results. Need advise

    5/16 fuel lines arent going to support a built 440 like that. Its running out of fuel when you get the RPM up. Remember you lose a good % in the drivetrain. What are the cam specs?

    Best flowing big block heads?

    I saw his post. He acutally had make offer on them and was basically begging someone to buy them. Problem with heads is shipping them is a bear.

    Does my 451 have to small of a cam?

    ok understandable but try to be more discriptive. I still dont believe that the cam was your problem. You have to fix the other stuff to know for sure. Keep it simple. The reason people ask for photos and more information is because there trying to help. But its tough to troubleshoot over the...

    Does my 451 have to small of a cam?

    475 is that lift and 308 is duration? Also if your are looking for a cam you can't just pick one and buy. You have to match it with your gear ration, tranny and many many more.

    Does my 451 have to small of a cam?

    Get it all tuned in if its not. Easiest thing to do for the carb is borrow one if you can for a run and see if that seems to change things up. I would guess that converter is a stock non hp converter i heard they stall around 1800 rpm. You could borrow a converter for that matter too but I...

    Does my 451 have to small of a cam?

    Welcome fellow Iowa looks like you are getting some good help. When you bought this did you verify any of the builders statements? Did you drive it first at all? Have you done a compression test at all?
