440 build need ideas

Budget build? Cast crank should be good for up to 5-550. That power is easy to come by. What year 440? The compression distance will vary. Stroker kits with iron heads sometimes boost the comp too high. I would start with the top end. I went with trick flow 240’s and the rest of their pack. I should have went stroker, but went factory stroke with K1 rods and kb icons. There are cheaper heads that will get you there and retain the factory rockers. All depends on what you are really looking to drive. Auto? Stick? Is the trans ready? Are you able to pop the wrist pins and reinstall pistons on factory rods?
