I have a heater/ac air box that came out of my 1969 2-door satellite. $170 obo plush shipping.

haha somewhere deep down I knew just buying pistons would be the correct answer. I will just stars saving the pennys and get a set from 440 source with a .018 deck clearance. and go with the shim gasket. maybe eventually save for a set of 80cc aluminum heads for it. I appreciate the input!

hello guys im looking to build a street/strip capable motor out of my rb440. its a .030 over block with a set of untouched 452's 89cc from what I have gathered online. I was running a .040 head gasket and my flat tops are .092 still in the hole at tdc. so that puts me around 8.4:1 cr...…. I am...

i currently have a 67 model 440 with late model 452 88-89cc heads. I’m hunting for compression. I recently found a set of heads in a local classics graveyard. The casting number is 2463200-3. From what I gather is is a 63’ model b/rb 383/413 head with 73.5cc chambers. Would this head be worth...

Just got off the phone with my local machine shop. It’s looking that the cheapest route will be to mill the 452’s I have down. Does anyone have an idea how much I can safely take out to not have to do any major modifications? The machinist I talked to say it would probably be around .040 to get...

I’m really wanting to make it a strip car. 1/8” mile because that’s all there is for local tracks. Still want to be able to take it down the road for car shows and what not, but I’m pretty dead set on racing the car. The rotating assembly will remain stock. Heads, cam, intake, headers, and a...

I have a 68 model 440 block and rotating assembly (Not the 6-pack setup) with a set of “untouched” 452 heads. From what I have been reading online measure out to 88-90cc,putting my motor between 8.6:1 and 9.0:1 (don’t know exactly how far the piston are in the hole). I’m wanting to get my...

I have a 69 sattelite 2dr with stock tubs. I’m wanting to get more meat on the ground in the back without having to tub the car. I’m looking to get 26 or 28” drag radials under it. Is this even possible on stock tubs? I currently have 14x8 with 4.5 backspacing. Wanting to go to a 15” for the...

I do plan on getting springs and lifters as well.

I also spoke with comp cams...

I will get the casting number tonight after work. I appreciate all the help.

I would like to have it at low 12’s. I am just starting to try and get into racing so I don’t know what exactly would get me there. I know the transmission I have is not ideal. And I know I need to ditch the open diff and low ratio in the rear end. I was looking at a set of e-street 5090 heads...
