69 440, factory 20 over... Looking for Chrome Moly, but can't find em anywhere.... any help appreciated  :popcrn:
"An aggressive exterior with power to match was enough to pull in the performance boys-especially when abetted by a pair of pipes blaring out the back, and brawny red-sidewall rubber hitting the pavement."  

"........the four speed box changes cogs with the precision of a sharp axe striking soft pine."

What size do you need?  Look for the size you need, want and can live with, verses the engine application.

There are several ring sets available from Sealed Power and KB that are in the 4.340" to 4.345" range, 5/64, 5/64. 3/16.

500" NA, Eddy head, pump gas, exhaust manifold with 2 1/2 exhaust with tailpipes
4150 lbs with driver, 3.23 gear, stock converter
11.68 @ 120.2 mph

Excuse my ignorance on this... but the standard 4.34 bore ring set will fit my engine being 4.34 + 20 thou?

440 + 20 over = 4.320" + 0.020" = 4.340"

All makes sense.. standard bore is 4.32 not 4.34  :slap:  :lol: Thanks guys, is the 5/64 or 5/64. 3/16 a critical dimension or just a preference thing?
