mild 440 build,looking for opinions and estimates

[c00nhunterjoe]

Throwing a 440 together for my car. I'm looking for any advice and hp\tq estimates.

74 440 block .030
Kb pistons
Eddy heads, 88cc. With pistons should sit right at 10:1
Victor 440 intake
Quick fuel 850 carb
Proform 1.5 rockers
Comp xe295hl. 564 lift, think its251\257 at .050
Hookersuper comp 2 in tube headers.

I would lik to sit at 490 to 500 hp and 540 to 550 tq.

I have read a few bad things about the Proform rockers on MOPARTS but no first hand experience with them.

Also I would run a smaller tube header unless that is what you got to use. Not sure on the power it will make but I think your in the ballpark.

If I remember right this is a 4 speed car with 3.91 gears, it should be a blast too drive that's for sure.

Joe, need a little more info on the brand of piston and piston to deck height...The Box might advertise 'em at 10:1, but you as well as all of us know, once they are installed, it is a different story...

I Dunno 'bout the proform Rockers either so I can't comment good or bad ?
but,
rest it looks good !

That Victor, is it a Max Wedge port or stock ?

IMO,
I'd shoot for 10.2-3 with that duration Camshaft, even in at 106*
and,
I don'tthink you'll have any probems getting 500 ?

They are keith black's. I will pull up all the info on them. They are domed with valve reliefs. Zero dec height so should sit right at 10.2:1 wth 88 cc heads and my .039 headgaskets.   Running the 2 inch tube headers cause I got a ridiculous deal on them. I realize 1 7\8 is more then enough but I couldn't pass up the deal.

My car is a 4 speed with 4.30's. This engine should make the car pretty sick on the street and hold me over until I can build my 383 into a stroker.
