What horsepower would a 440 be putting out
Just wondering what kind of horspower an early 70's 440 would be putting out, its been done up 30 over, Edelbrock intake and 650 carb, mild street cam, original high performance exhaust manifolds with 2 1/2" exhaust and catbacks, electric fuel pump and regulator, MSD Ignition and high tension wires, have no idea what power this is putting out, its in a 64 Plymouth Sport Fury i just bought, hope you fellas can give me an idea, thanks.

Here you go! http://www.compcams.com/camquest/default.asp Do the free download. It is pretty accurate, but not exact. Fun to play "what if I did this" with. Should give you a good idea of what does what, and find the item that may be holding you back. Welcome. Scotty

650 is too small, my opinion. if you want original manifolds, fine. No need for electric fuel pump. I've read tests, and wires are wires, $30-100, they will run the same. Only difference will be heat resistance. I like the car! Plug in a 750 vac secondary and look for an increase in the power in the camquest. What trans, rear gears, usage and goals?

Sorry the carb is a 750, not a 650 as i had posted, thanks for all the replies, nice to know there are lots of you guys out there helping. I just bought the 64 Plymouth Sport Fury and know very little about it, will try and post some pictures of it soon, again thanks.

It really seems to have more then a "mild cam", thats what i was told when i bought it but the cam definately is noticeable when its running, something you can hear so i feel its more then just the mild cam. Thanks for all replies.
