Truth^^^^^


Well now, are you offering a trade? Last I asked I was told I’d have to pry it from your cold dead hands.

No man in history has ever said this, so everyone remember this moment. My wife WONT let me get rid of the duster, and she doesn’t even like it.

with all these guesses, somebody is going to get it 100% correct lol

Unless you break into the 12s or totally break

Here, here! Let's not talk about break downs!! LOL.. If it were to happen, and it wasn't major, I would fix it and return to the track. Now breaking into the 12's is a conversation that sounds interesting

I'm sorry that's not going to happen with the current 440 configuration, but it should be easy in the future, even with low compression.
I'd be eyeballing the 11's with an up in compression, cam and decent ported iron or aftermarket head, it would be imminent.

well, I'd still rather talk about "breakin' 12's" vs "break'n down" LOL

I can't help with that, maybe the juice guy's can help with the 12's and the break down, I heard there's usually a puff of smoke when it happens. sometimes it just sneeks up. lol

Here goes the big jinx ...... (i really shouldn't) ......
.....
I have never oiled down the track or broke down there. Ever. About 36 years.

There I did it, the 440 will get out there and barf all over the track...

Nah

 

[Garrett Ellison]

It's not going to make enough power to break. There's been more than one 500 hp bracket 440's built with cast cranks, LY rods, and forged domed pistons that have went for several seasons between rebuilds.

While true, high HP engines stress everything more, technically a stock slant can break. Remember, I'm racing about a 50-year-old engine that's not been rebuilt. Do I expect it to break?? Naw......

Careful what you say or RRR will chastise you for pissin in 318wr’s kool aid.

 

[TT5.9mag]

There's been more than one 900 hp bracket 440's built with cast cranks, LY rods, and forged domed pistons on 15psi

Fixed it for you.

Fixed that for Ya', no charge........

 

[318willrun]

.... and seems if there is a breeze, it's always a head wind, at least most of the time. That really helps those pickups, ya know....

 

[318willrun]

Fixed it for you.

question: Would you expect an RV440 in a D150 with somewhat of a "stall" (2800 ?) and headers to beat a stock 5.9 magnum (4bbl/headers) in a full size '89 van with bed, table, and chairs, and a towing torque converter??? I promise you the van is WAY heavier.



The van will run 15.4's-15.5's in the 1/4, and 9.9's in the 1/8.
