Is this guess for first run "off the trailer" or best run of the day after tuning? I'm guessing the latter. [sorry for all the questions]
Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

Two atmospheres are better than one
In my opinion it’s worth less than that.
But all of my experience is with small blocks. I have not used a big block version.
Best run of the day. It's the only way to be fair to the 440. I usually only get about 3 runs anyways.
years ago... in the 80's, we had a single plane (maybe even a torker or tarantula style) on my brothers GTX. M-50's on the back, we could have 4 guys in the car at 50 mph and kick the rear tires loose. I still have the factory cast intake for the RVIn my opinion it’s worth less than that.

I like how you're doing it. It'll show just how much low compression and a stock cam affects performance.
Yeah, because everybody's GONNA compare the 360's best run.
In which.... it's really not comparing anymore (though they will). It's really just seeing what the biggest smog era RV Big Block will do... The magnum is far more efficient than what this 440 is as it sits
Do all the things to the 440 that the Magnum has. The 9 plus compression, hydraulic roller cam and 1.6 rockers. Then what happens?
TRYING..... to keep this on every page….. wow this copy and paste happens fast...

The RB engines tend to perform very well with a single plane as a function of runner length. I think it would be close with the open plenum, but the RPM probably has a lot more even cylinder to cylinder flow. But it would be fun to see back to back runs with it and the 4.30 gears. But Man, spring was already taking too long to get here… no doubt about, this one’s going to be worth the wait!

I recall the era when the Torker was one of the few manifold options available. Used B bodies were 1500 bucks and every teenager was striping the neighborhoods.
It’ll run!
Those numbers are from multiple test compairing cast iron manifolds with 48"×2" pipe on the small cam and same manifolds with 36" × 2" pipe on the big cam motor (each was optimized for pipe length) to mid length header with 2.25" × 41" pipe small cam motor and same mid length header with 2"x 30" pipe. Again both optimized for length. Difference in diameter of pipe was a rule to try to help the small cam motor.
If you want to test the difference between exhaust systems bring your motor over and I'll dyno it for free.
I am not too far away. No RPM intake, but I have a tunnel ram if you want to try that.

Here I thought first run off the trailer, oh well. Hope it kicks ***

I'll go 14.53
That would be fun and that's generous of you... but I think we are close to 6 hours apart.
I don't think I've ever mentioned "off the trailer". Others have and I've always said best run of the day. Trying to get the 440 a fair opportunity to show us whatever it is it may have... LOL
We got you down as a 14.53!
