I just finished a "resto" style 440 6 pack Engine for a Customer, nothing fancy.
Other than a 274H Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam, a good rebuild on the 906 Heads W/stock Valves, and some better Rockers Arms, ARP Rod Bolts, thats it..thats all.
Dyno'd at 440HP, but with 510 Ft/lbs Torque
but,
that was NOT a surprise through the restrictive Factory HP Exhaust Manifolds and 2 1/4" Exhaust Pipes.
Let me know and I will post up the Dyno Sheet.

I have a 69 440, that's gonna be bored 60 over, and I was thinking about doing a mild stroke. I have 906 heads that I'm going to get some port work on. The car is gonna be street/strip and yes it does have to be a six pack.

Staying with stock iron heads would be cool, but I think you might be happier with a set of aluminum heads. Horsepower = Happiness
You might be able to pick up a great set of aluminum heads that will allow you to flow 600+ HP at the crank for <$1500. You can check out 440source.com for instance.

I know aluminium heads would get me better numbers out of the box, but I happen to find a good machine shop that does good work for a decent price. Im looking to get a quote to see how much it would be to get them cnc machined. I don't mind getting the extra work done on the iron heads. I'm familiar with the 440source stealth heads, I was considering them but I decided to stay with the iron heads.
