Oh man, a B motor would have made life so much easier. I’ve seen some guys with low deck engines get away with milling hipo manifolds at an angle a few degrees. If I had to do it over, I’d get a 383 so the extra room would help with them pipes (not to mention the valve covers wanting to hit everything as well). I started this build as a naive 23yr old who wanted the biggest motor I could get. My friends recommended a 440 ‘cause they’re cheaper and plentiful, there’s plenty of junk motor homes around here if I blow this one up.....and because racecar.
Thanks RRR!
