Hello! I am a newmember to your forum. I have owned a 72 Plymouth Barracuda 318,a 72 Cuda 340 4 speed, and a 72 Barracuda 340. I appreciate your E-Body Forum.
I have a 70 Plymouth Gran Coupe. I have a 1970 440 that I am trying to fix up for it. I bought it already rebuilt. I would like to get some good power out if it. I don't know what kind of pistons are in it, and I am contemplating replacing them with some forged pistons. I also don't know what cam is in it , so I plan to replace the cam with a 440 Six pack cam or one close to it so I can still use my stock torque converter. I have the original 383 , but it needs a complete rebuild. It was more cost effective to get the 440. I plan to use an Edelbrock Performer intake and the factory Carter AVS. Do you think I should get the pistons changed , or keep the ones in it? Your advice is appreciated. Thank You.
Regards, Ariovistus
