Hi everyone,
My father passed away last month and he left a few projects laying around. I posted under the welcome aboard area describing some of what I'm going through and hoping to find with some help from this great community.
Here is a link to that post: Mopar Inheritance
My Father had a built 440, but the shop that built it didn't keep any records and could only tell me it won't run on pump gas and will need pistons changed to do so. I found a manilla folder with the following receipts inside of it. I'm not trying to drive at 5000 RPM going 50 mph.
Can someone elaborate on the following technical information and help me determine the best way forward (or backward) with keeping this build alive? I'm no expert, but know a little about cars. Of course my father's death was unexpected, so I am not financially prepared to spend a ton of money to get this dialed in. Any and all advice is appreciated. I know a bit, but have no idea how to tell if the engine has been stroked, bored over, what it's current displacement is if it has been. I'd hope to make this a streetable car. Everything is in storage right now and the motor has never been run.
I'm not sure if I'm in the right / best place for this either and don't know how to "cross-post" so it's seen in multiple threads, so I'll also post this in Big Block Tech and Mopar Performance Issues.
Thanks!
