I am going to build a 440 for my '66 charger. Not looking to build a fire breathing monster just something fun for the street. I wanted to stay with the stock HP exhaust manifolds. Right now i'm looking at using
'77 440 block going to bore .040 over
Speed pro forged 6 pack pistons
440 stock forged steel crank
Stock 440 LY rods with ARP bolts
452 heads with stock valves no port work
.020 head shims
Stock HP manifolds
Stock cast iron 4 bbl intake manifold
Street Demon 750 carb.
3.55 sure grip 8-3/4 rear
I'm undecided about the cam. I have a new .455 lift purple cam that I initially wanted to run. I have heard good reviews of the .528 solid lifter purple cam. It looks like the lash is run really loose on this cam. Does anyone have any experience running this cam through HP exhaust manifolds? Any opinions on which valve spring to use with this cam?
I have a set of Isky ductile iron adjustable rockers and a set of 915 heads with .510 lift springs. Would this make a better combo with this cam?
Being this is a .528 lift cam but the lash is set at.028/.032 would lift really be at or under .500"?
Which compression ratio works best with the .528"?
Any thought or opinions?
Thanks FBBO
