I'll be 64 this summer

The 440 was under cammed and under headed from the factory, the heads and cam was more suited for the 383.

If you're losing torque with the Crane or 6401 Summit cam in a 440, they are installed wrong. The old magic cam was a tire fryer.

Can't go wrong with the old Crane " Magic cam", a profile that flat out works. The 6401 specs are very close.

Everything about the 383 build tells me the stage 6 is overkill. 440 Source makes the most sense to me, with a flattop at zero deck.

A 572 and a pair of 14x32 slicks is all it needs.

That's great, I don't guess numbers, I've always built engines that exceeded the intended goal. I don't start with OOTB cylinder head in most cases and if I did I'd go straight to the Trick Flow. I also see no sense running a dual plane intake on anything over 426 CI.

Yes but it wouldn't be very street friendly, it would take compression, decent heads and a camshaft in the range of the Mopar 590.

I'd do a 451 using the stealth heads, any larger displacement would require Trick flow heads or a well ported Edelbrock head. A good valve job and port cleanup of the stealth heads would be required to achieve an honest 500 tq/425 hp.

I drove 6x6's in the corps, so it's easy for me to keep a toy truck between the lines. I worry about the minivan drivers that act like they're driving a big truck, absolutely no control. and be careful Bob around here they shoot back. lol

I drive a Ford dually with a nice heavy steel flatbed, I've punted a few **** box drivers off the *** end, I tell them next time don't drive too close and be in a rush. I love the one's that pullout in front of me when I'm doing 45, I'm gonna get one someday right in the rear quarter.

The combo would work much better with a 4800 stall convertor, at the very least 4500

Whew, I thought I was blocked or something.

In your dreams pal, she's mine. lol

50 years? tires become unsafe beyond 10 years. I think your insurance company would frown if you ever had a claim using a 50 year old tire. Probably be OK for car shows if they hold air and don't fly apart. I wouldn't consider putting them on my car, probably a good conversation piece for the shop.
