hey guys, happy new year to all of you, i haven't been on here in awhile regrettably, got some new news on the coronet rt, so those of you who have been following the project, you all know we picked up a 71 440 in nevada... well we found out that its not worth the money to fix it compared to the luck we just struck up on. the machine shop run by a man named calvin told us that sleeving 2 cylinders would throw off the rest of the engine kinda, and just then he told my dad he had a .030 bored 67 440 with 915 heads that a man dropped off 2 years ago and never picked up, so he is willing to sell them as they are just taking up room, and the block does not work. since this isnt an original block to our car i wanted to see how much i can do within a budget of some sort, in ways of increasing horsepower and torque before we get it from the machine shop. and i was also wondering what we should get for the rest of the engine to increase horsepower. i know there is alot that can be done, but imm not looking for a drag car but a really strong car to drive around in while im in my late teens and 20s and then maybe ill cool it down a little and go with a stock 440, but im just lookin for ideas for now. if any of you can offer knowledge id greatly appreciate it guys! looking forward to the responses :headbang:
