Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

I really don’t know how accurate the math is but it should be in the ball park at least. Sometimes things especially engines punch above their weight class (big fat torque curve)

I liked it because you thought about it. When it comes to this stuff, my math is more of a "reasoning". Kind of goofy actually. Although we are all taking "pot-shots", I still used a form of reasoning to come to my conclusion. But I could be way off as the next guy... lol

We've seen what you can do with a 318...No sandbagging...

This is the intake I'm referring to, Mine was on a '76 440 I put in a '73 Satellite, in place of the 'teener. I "fixed" #3 runner by outwelding it & grinding all the way into the weld, even re-formed a new '3', ...
440 source doesn't show an 'RV-specific' 440 intake, only the square-bore 413 ones with closed EGR passages.

Well, we’re coming up on the first day of winter. Hopefully the weather will break some between squalls so we can see some testing in “Mexico” before spring, but I’m not going to hold my breath on that one…

All the speculation in this 440 is fun. This 440 just needs some clocked E-3 spark plugs and it’s smoking the 360

Dyno horses are escaping the corral!! Many times, a 100 of them don't show up to the track!

Getting a break in the weather.... Christmas week will be busy... I'm hoping that I can get something done on the 440 by (or at) the end of the week...
