"Low buck" 440 drag build

Oh yeah, go for it. I figure you MAY have 8.5:1 static. I ran a 383, stock rods and pistons at 8.0:1 with a little smaller Hughes cam, ported 906 heads and we made 500 HP with it. I think with that cam advanced 8 degrees you could still run 85 octane. Good grief, run it! It should be a hoot!

Bye-the-bye to everybody else. This family knows more about engine building than you may think.
