    Rear end gear with 727?

    I have 3.55s with a 28 inch tire on my 70 coronet. . My 440 hums along at 80 just fine. Also 3.23 with same tire in my 66 coronet is great at 80.

    400 Build Ideas

    Also, I recently built two 383s that made 380 hp and had stock intakes with mild cams. At the same compression a 400 would just make more. If you look you can find my posts. I describe everything I did to make about 1 hp per cubic inch very easily.

    400 Build Ideas

    I have used 2 Hughes cams in 440s. Both perform very well for the size they are. I made 415hp in a 7.5 to 1 440 with one of them.

    NOS 413 Engine

    NOS 413 Engine

    There's no need to put in hardened valve seats unless you plan on doing lots of heavy towing. Ive worked on old engines for many years and I've only seen a couple with really bad valve seats. The performance shop I worked at, we never installed seats if the original ones were still good. They...

    1971 383 compression height

    OK, cool. The motor I put back together still ran strong, just needed a bit more stall speed since low compression makes a 383 a little soft on the bottom end.

    Oil Pump For Stock 440

    Yes it's still high volume, my point is that doesn't mean high pressure.

    Oil Pump For Stock 440

    I put a standard spring in my high volume pump that made too much pressure. It is now standard pressure.

    Cheap 383 dyno numbers

    The 750 4779 was a little leaner on the opposite side lower in the pull but evened out.

    Cheap 383 dyno numbers

    Another thing I just remembered, the 750 hp was leaner on one side for some reason. I just went through the carb. Everything looked good.

    Cheap 383 dyno numbers

    All the b motors had the smaller AVS. The 750 was 440 only.

    1971 383 compression height

    I took apart a standard bore 71 383 hp a few years ago. It was around 60 to 70 in the hole. With steel head gaskets and 906 heads, it came out around 8.2 to 1

    I did not try it with manifolds. I wish I had, pretty sure I've got some shorty pipes around here somewhere too.
