I see you are building a 440. I like big un's
I like magnum's too, I've had a couple raped ape Dakota's.
I have to say I'm not too happy with what ma mopar gave us for Crack assed cylinder head castings and the fact that they took away shaft rockers. I will never forget or forgive lol

We'll start with just the RV 440 in its most inefficient state.... Ha! Then we'll see about something done to make it a little more active

And I will say, for a thread NOT taking a poll till a few pages in, we have quite a list of contestants! Seems the 14 second range appears to be the most popular, and I understand why.

Two types of men in this world. Those with clips and those with cash. You carry the clip.

You can put your speeding tickets in it too.

Alright... throw out your choice of budget beater pistons for the RV 440..... speed pro?

(no, it won't be done before it runs as the RV 440)

Thanks! These have a wrist pin re-located so they aren't so far down the hole? Seems they are just OE replacement?

I'm seeing others with a higher compression height. But they're going to run up the bill. KB often has a domed piston that comes in priced under forged. Not seeing them here.
Not all of them have piston head volume listed. And those that do seem to be down in the hole a bit.
