young, broke and stupid 440 build

[thesiren74]

It is a street driver but i do want to be able to run it up to 6000 without fear of rod bolt breakage.

I've been running my 413 to 6 grand for 3 years no problems at all with heavy cast pistons and stock rods but i do have arp bolts, i actually am faster at the track shifting around 5,400 than i am at 6 grand so no reason to go there.

Just a handful of times. I bet it doesnt have 1000 miles on it since i rebuilt it. kinda lost interest for a long while. sgbarracuda hush..lol

I ran a similar build with a 71ish New Yorker engine . Rering , deck ,linehone , 284/484 Hemi MP cam , TM7 intake , RR torque converter ....
In a 65 Coronet 500 with 3.91s.
Shifted at 6700 and ran high 12s with a 1.65ish 60 ft . Stock rod and main bolts.
