Looking at maybe doing a semi budget build on my 70 440 to get my car driving for the time being.
I have a 70 HP2 long block with the externally balanced six pack rods and the non recessed pistons. I’m guessing the 9.5:1 pistons.
Assuming I recondition the rods and have the block prepped, does anyone have any advise for lighter pistons that would bump the compression up? It seems many people just junk these due to the weight and rotating mass they ad.
I’d probably top it with a six pack intake and some aftermarket aluminum heads and a decent street cam. I would assume the block can handle the 500-600 hp that would likely be able to produce on the high end.
