What's it gonna run 1/4 mile ?
OK, I know alot of people do this, so I figure it's my turn. I just sold one of my cars & soon as I get the check I'll be ordering the final parts I need to install my new 440 into my 74 Duster. Engine specs are. .030 over 1968 440 block, KB h.u. pistons are .002 out of the bores, close to 10.4 to 1 compression. untouched edelbrock 84cc rpm heads. Lunati "Voodoo" hydraulic 226 & 234 @ .050 & .494 , .513 lift. Edelbrock # 5440 dual quad intake manifold with 2 Edelbrock 600 cfm carbs. Shumacher a body headers with 2.5" pipes all the way back, 727 tf with trans go stage II valve body. a 2500 rpm Hughes converter, and either 3.23 or 3.91 gears with 27.5" street tires. the car weighs 3230 lbs now with a 318 & 727, so I'm guessing it'll be a couple hundred lbs. heavier with the 440. I am a realist so please be as brutally honest as you can. The car is primarily a street car, with 1 or 2 trips to the strip a year. I think I have thought this package out pretty well, but if anyone sees any gross mismatch between parts, please let me know ! Thanks in advance !
