Building a mild 440

that’s a perfect combo and time,,,, mine I assume will be .030 over
So you're having the short block work done now? Have you thought about getting a stroker kit? I know its $2,400 for it but if you're already doing the bottom end and can swing it its something I would consider... Generally speaking if I'm going low buck I'm doing bearing, rings, and dingle ball hone, whiplash cam from hughs to make it sound cool and help make some low end power then go have fun.
