Talked to some cam mfg's and the recommendations are Comp Cam XE274H or PP284H, or Hughes SEH3236BL-10. Any thoughts on these cams? Thanks.

Thanks. I will be calling this week.

Looking for cam recommendations. Sidewinder heads, ch4b intake, headers, 727 auto and 3.55 gears. Again, looking for a street car with good manners, but a nice muscle car sound.

Thanks for all the insight. Decided to stay with the 440. Bore .030 over, heads,cam,intake and carb. Should be a nice street motor.

Thanks all. Decided to keep the 440 and do a mild build. Looking at Sidewinder or Stealth heads with comp cam. Bought a CH4B intake because I want to try to use the stock hood. And a friend is giving me an edlebrock 800 carb.

Thanks. i like the green better. lol.

Thanks. I actually have a 26” radiator that I got with the motor, but didn’t think it would fit. Appreciate the input.

Thanks for the input. Here is a pic of the engine and the fender tag. Unfortunately, the fender tag was painted and hard to read some codes. If you can decider, please let me know. The car was originally blue and I think had a vinyl top, so not fully original anymore. car also has a 489 rear...

Thanks. Do you think it would be work sticking with the stock cast iron heads and getting them reworked and ported? i have read some posts of the aluminum heads needing to be machined even when they are purchased new and have the potential for warping.

Hello, my name is Robert. A few months ago I purchased my first Barracuda. Nice exterior and interior with only 32K on the car. /6 engine now, but also purchased a 440 to rebuild and drop in. I know I will need some help with the swap, so I am glad I found a forum with people who has done the...

Thanks for the input. My 440 has about 70k on it, stock bore and cylinders are still in spec, just need honing. I agree that with some simple mods, the 440 would have more torque and power and be legit for the era. What top end kits does everyone recommend. Was looking at the Edlebrock or...

Just bought a 72 Barracuda with a slant 6. I quickly found a 440 with everything and 727 trans, just need to rebuild. Was looking to put top end kit on the 440 with some headers and a Holly Sniper EFI. I just saw a Gen 3 392 Hemi engine for sale and was thinking maybe that would be a better...
