Hello. Call me pipdog. I have a 67 belvedere II that I am planning to put a 440 in. I would like some input on what intake and cam set up would be best for my build. I want to try and get 450 to 500 hp from the mill. I will be overboring it at least 30 over unless the machine shop feels I need more. I have never built an engine from ground up on my own so this is fairly new ground to me. I would like to keep my stock heads and just have them ported if that is feasable for my hp range. I do not want to build an all out drag car, just a really strong running street beast that can eat a few bowties and blue ovals on the way to the quick stop! Want to keep the outside kind of ratty looking but I want to build it where it is really mechanically solid. It will have 727 for a trans and it has an 8 3/4 rear but I do not know the ratio. Is it possible to build this engine and drive train for around 5 grand? I know there is a bunch of you guys that have the engine and trans set-up that I would like to have so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from a good ole Mississippi boy!!
