I know it’s been asked a million times so here’s a million and one. I’m going to send off the bottom end of a 68’ 440 I picked up recently to get new bearings and rings. While it’s away I’d like to start piecing together the top.
Here’s what I’ll be going off of. 68’ road runner, a/t stock converter, powers steering and brakes, 3.23 SG full interior car. Can only get 91 octane locally.
Measured the pistons .050 below deck and are going to stay that way, just replacing rings. What I have already are full length headers, (3) 452 (1) 906 heads, torker 2 and 2806178 intakes, msd 8387 distributor, and accessories from from my other 440.
So, looking for a cam that is streetable, good power, good vacuum. And wether to spend money on some heads like some sidewinders or mill the 452’s. Just want a good fun driver so trying to keep it as budget friendly as possible.
