440 engine build up
First of all my name is Chris and am new to your forum. I have a 78 Macho Powerwagon and I just aquired a nice 440 with stock heads and crank. I want to get about 400hp out of the engine and get the best reliability if that is possible. Can I do that with the stock crank and heads or am I gonna have to do after market? The engine is appart and ready to be hot tanked and so forth. Any one have any suggestions on a decent build up, what parts and so on I'd appreciate the input. Thanks.

Look foreward to your startup! I'm checking Muscle Motors. Gotta shop locally in this economy, might be my neighbors job. They seem to be doing the same things as 440 source. Any input from anyone on these stroker kits out there would be appreciated.

You have a cast iron crank in that engine, and I definitely recommend this book: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...art=HPB-HP1190
