440 problems/quenching?/advice needed

Well it is set in stone then. I will be investing in a set of open chambered heads. I am going to be putting a bit smaller cam in so that I can avoid getting rid of my rockers.

I am going to call Hughes engines to have them custom make me a cam as I have heard nothing but awesome things about them.

I am hoping that after all of this, I will have a good cruiser with plenty of power for the street.
