I still like these Engines !
Because with the relative abundance of Cast Crank RV Motorhome 440 Cores it's hard for us to find a more cost effective way for 500 hp/515 Ft/Lbs ? and especially right now with the supply chain issues ?
Basics:
LY Rods with ARP Bolts
2067" CD Forged Pistons, 5/64ths rings
Entry level Aluminum Heads
Torker 2 Intake(that's all we could find right now for under hood clrc )
850 Vacuum Secondary
CompCams XE274H for easy Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam run-in @ sub .500" Lift / 285'ish Lbs
HT976 Lifters
Clevitte Brg's throughout
M63HV
6 Qt Pan/pickup
I mean we can get technical all day long ?
and granted.... we do apply what is IMO a very good quality Labor Pkg to the Parts Pkg ?
But my point being.....
how do you beat a .030" over 440 Core Build for the money ? given the "cubic dollar" factor to go Stroker ?
* Never goes below 485 Ft/Lbs all the way from 3,500 rpm thru 5,300 rpm and peaking at 514.5 Ft/Lbs @ 4500 rpm ?
with a "FUN" factor reaching 500 HP @ 5,500 rpm ?
