440 vs. stroker 408 build?

The 440 really isn't that hard to put in the A-body. I will agree that the 408 and 416 smallblock strokers scream. But it wont take much to get a 440 A-body in the 11's or 10's for that fact. We still have the stock 318 torsion bars on my boys 72 Dart with a 400 in it. I figured we took the ac off and the cast iron intake is gone for an aluminum one and we have lighter headers so it really is not adding that much more weight and my sons handles fine. His car has had the 383 or 400 in it since 1997. His 400 is nothing fancy and has pushed his 3540 lb dart (with him in car) to 11.50's with 3.91's so a 10 second 440 street Dart is not hard to do. Good luck , Ron
