Im using the stock 906 heads that I sent into the shop to have cleaned up and are doing a valve job on. Down the road I think I will have them ported. And ya you guys could definitely see my confusion if you thought it was 340.:happy8: Dematt - I have a brand new set of connecting rods (but...

Well sorry but didn't mopar rate the engine at 490 lb/ft stock without accessories (alternator water pump and ac etc.)? This is the big performance 4 barrel model with the 725 carb (from mopar: 375 horse and 490 lb/ft.). Doesn't seem too far fetched to be able to gain 10 lb/ft from new headers...

No i did not give them the pistons. My mistake I guess but what you gonna do. It is the stock crank but its a forged steel model. No i have not bought an engine kit. I looked at them but I already have purchased most of the things included in that kit I am getting a new cam as well. The rings...

thanks I am going to run headers on it and its a hydraulic flat tappet sorry

Hey guys getting pretty close to done with the 440 now I need a car to put it in. I am looking for a "project" not too bad though. I don't want a rust bucket but I am willing to pay for a nice car. I would like a car where I can yank out the existing engine and drop the 440 in it and I could...

Hey guys I am rebuilding my 440 and its getting bored right now and I'm trying to pick out the right cam. I want to get a flat tappet I was wondering if I could use the stock lifters or do I need new ones. Also I want the car to have power brakes down the road. I was looking at about a 286 adv...

Its a 440 Mag

let me know how it goes and leo I would like to know more about those porting templates

cool. Well i sent the engine off yesterday to Kenyon Machine. They do some nice work and they seem like pretty good guys. I will post pics when I get it back someime this week. It was $305 for a boring "package" which includes boring 30 over and align honing, they are pulling the cam bearings...

Yepp. Alright. Well I do appreciate the advice and will let you guys know how the build goes. Oh and I also learned that my high school will be opening up a "Mechanics" class my senior year, so something to look forward to.

Oh and btw sending the engine in on Saturday I will post before and after pics when I get it back.

sorry guys and especially leo I did not mean to go off on you yesterday just had a pretty lousy day. But I have checked all my local machine shops and our flat rate for machine work down here is just so high its the best place close enough to home I could find. I do appreciate everybodies...

The shop has already given me the quote and they said I can save 40 bucks if I pull the cam bearings myself. I am just trying to save some money instead of paying the machine shop all that money.

Well guys I have pulled all the plugs and now I need to remove the cam journals (bearings) has does one go about this. Also I haven't been able to pull the big freeze plug on the back of the engine. any tips? thanks
