Stroke limits of a 440?

While this is a Performer RPM for a RB it sill shows you what one looks like with all the lettering, coil bracket mounting, and machining location tabs cut off.

I probably spent 40 hours on this just to painted it, and with an air cleaner on 99.9% of the crowd wouldn't know it's not a stock intake.

That's sharp! How did you texture the grind marks?

The factory could've cleaned up in the muscle car wars if they had built a low deck 470 engine using a 400 block, Max Wedge heads and a MW sized dual plane intake with a big Holley carb. They had all of the technology to build engines like that in early 70's. I'm sure they thought of it but perhaps they didn't want to embarrass the Hemi owners.

I agree 1000% I did a very simple 400/470. Eagle crank, Manley 6.760 rod, Diamond piston, 10.2:1, box stock Eddy head w/springs for a Comp street solid roller, Eddy RPM intake, 800 Holley. Runs great, idles nicely at 850 rpm, pulls hard through the middle. On a chassis dyno it made 500 ft lbs from 2500rpm all the way up. Great little street engine...no muss no fuss
