Hello All! Wondering what yall's thoughts are on the 440Source stealth (single spring) heads are? Thinking of getting a set for a low compression 440. Looking to also replace cam...ideas? Have a performer RPM intake on motor now.
Looking for set up suggestions ETC.. Car has 727 stock converter...
440Source rocker hold downs are much wider than the heads. Ha. But feeling much better about shaving these replaceable pieces over the heads.
Will be test fitting prw, shaved 440source hold downs and Pushrods this weekend.
Decided to go through everything, mains were mixed up, cast crank had a forged crank balancer. Likely going with a Callies/Scat/Icon 4.150 stroker with either 440source stealthy or edelbrock performer heads.
If u do the aluminum heads you will also solve the leaded gas problem. Back in the day we had leaded gas, today no lead means the exhaust valves run hotter and will recede into the head or even burn. Later engines used hardened valves to solve this problem, and modern aluminum heads do also...
I bought directly from 440source. They were assembled heads. Car runs much better. The engine had what were presumably the factory steel shim type gaskets. Between leaky valve seals and presumably bad valve sealing the car did not want to idle very well with the original heads. Its much...
I’ve learned that they have a much shallower valve seat depth than other comparable heads. They did last for 10,000 street miles and hundreds of drag strip passes. I’m the poster child for torture testing things like that. Still not happy about it.
Anyone willing to fund / help fund a 512 Low deck vs. 512 tall deck comparison? pretty much only difference is rod length.
I pretty much have everything for a 440 based 512 stroker, and the crank and rods and a few other parts for a 400 based 512 stroker. Still need pistons and bearings.
The...
...weeks and would like to make at least 1hp per cube. Stock 346 heads for now, I have headers but want to use HP manifolds for ease, 440sourceheads next year. The smaller CC of those heads are being considered and would like to keep it under 9.5:1 with the 440sourceheads. I get the stock...
Hey all,
As you may have seen in other threads of mine, I bout my first classic this year.
Im looking for good reliable source for information on torque specs/procedures to rebuild/seal my 440.
It has a build from previous owner from years ago so would source the proper specs for the heads...
With the new pistons I bought, they have a 27cc dish, 440source #5074. With the heads both being 68cc now I am going to need a thick head gasket. I can get Cometic up to .120".
Using a .095" gasket puts the compression at 10.83:1. The .120" gasket brings it down to 10.3:1
...want some more compression.
Just the flow increase alone will make more power everywhere. Just don't over cam it. I just pulled an 8.5-1 440 with the Comp XE274 out of my Duster. Changed from stock 452 heads to cnc ported 440sourceheads I had lying around and it was a night and day...
Yeah just a thought. I have enough good ones sitting in the garage but I sold the Mopar m1 years ago unfortunately. I do appreciate 440source, your BBM fuel pump pushrod I installed is still going 5 years later without being ground to a nub and your support for stroker kits, trick flow and...
I did 440Source Stealth aluminum heads with a tunnel ram on a 383, 4 speed car.
Extremely drivable, drive it all the time, mounds of torque for reasonable $.
I think you can get close enough to make you happy doing what you said you are willing to do. 451 flat top stroker from 440Source, ported Stealth heads, 440Source can probably tell you which of their cams to use with stock rockers. (I hate stock rockers, but I guess they will work for you.)...
I love what Brandon has done with 440source. He’s carefully built his business from ground up. He really tries to stay his lane. Some say too much, but you can’t argue with his success.
I remember him collecting blocks and heads back in the day when he just had used stuff. Just out here in...
