allright so im still trying to come up with a good 440 build so now i have a "cheap build" instead of my alluminum headed stroker idears.:burnout: ive bought almost nothing and had no machine work done yet so some things are just guesses so here goes
1972 duster
77 440 block bored to whatever
recondition cast crank and rods
new pistons to get to 9 to 1 compression
gasket match ported 452 heads new valve springs
comp cams 21-225-4 xtreme energy- duration (284/296) lift (.507/.51)
edelbrock performer rpm intake
edelbrock 800cfm carb
1 3/4 primary headers
2800 stall
3.91 gears
id hope for 425 to 450 hp and at least 450+ torque
so if anyone thinks i can achieve that goal with these parts or if some slight changes would help id much appreciate it im not looking for much more than 425 really. i also have an edelbrock str 14 i acquired and is for sale but if i dont sell it ive considered using it. (it just looks so darn cool) :supz: does anyone know if that would be too much for this combination or not? id appreciate that too thanks in advance
