440 build questions and any suggestions.
Hiya,
I have a 1972 440 magnafluxed and bored .040 over; 1965 383 heads, magnafluxed, new guides, teflon seals, 2.08 intake, cut for 1.74 exhaust; 1971 stock oem forged crank .010 undersized; Keith Black hypereutectic flat top pistons; Resized stock oem rods with ARP waveloc bolts. I have not chosen a cam or intake yet. Any suggestions? I would like my car for street/strip use. Anyone know how much punishment will the crank and rods take? I don't want to break anything. Should I get a new crank and rods? Engine build is costing alot as it is already. Casting numbers: block 3698830, crank 2206160, heads 2406516, rods 1851535. How would you guys build it? Thanks, Tim
