    6" rims all around...who has them?

    You have a 24.1" tall tire now.How much room do you have to grow up? 225/70 is 27.4 and 235/70 is 27.8, that is a lot of room to grow. Mind your width on the rear also. If it doesn't have a enough room maybe a 215/65/15(26") on the front and a 225/70/15(27.4) on the rear will work. Hopefully...

    6" rims all around...who has them?

    Nice Belvedere! I would think a 4" backspace would work also but measuring is your friend. What size tires are on there now?

    Is there a better cam for me?

    I would degree the cam before I did anything else.

    Big block hydraulic roller cam/lifter choices

    You didn't say what heads will be used? I would want to know that before I picked a cam.

    440 Hp guesstimate

    A street dominator and some 1 7/8 headers would put you right up there.Just the intake swap would be worth a comparison.

    Big block hydraulic roller cam/lifter choices

    I like a lot of the Howards cams specs I see. With a good set of heads don't know that it would want that much extra exhaust duration though. I am about to do a similar pump gas build with a 4.25 stroke crank and I have cnc ported edlebrocks. Trying to decide if I want hyd or solid roller. I...

    440 Hp guesstimate

    550hp would be my guess. On the street it may like a 1 7/8 header more unless you have deep gears and a stall.

    Is there a better cam for me?

    The cam you have should make good low end. It is not a " large " cam. I would degree it and see where it is. Installing it at the recommended centerline if it is retarded should improve low end and midrange.

    Original mufflers question for HP engines

    Or put a pair of glasspacks before the mufflers.I would be surprised if the drone isn't gone.

    camshaft recommendation

    Oversight on my part. They made the same cam for big blocks as well.

    Static/Dynamic Compression and Advancing Camshaft Question

    Go with the aluminum heads regardless. Advancing the cam generally raises cranking compression. Someone smarter than me will be along with the math.

    WTB BB Stroker shortblock

    Very nice. Will keep it in mind although mainly looking for an assembled shortblock. Already have a 4.25 stroke crank if I decide to build.

    WTB BB Stroker shortblock

    Just about ready to do a bb stroker for my Duster. Before building I thought I would see if anyone has a shortblock with a 4.15 or 4.25 stroke crank ready to go. Would consider a low deck with 3.91 stroke crank as well. I have the top end already. Pump gas motor as this is a street car. Cam is...

    512 stroker

    If you are building for torque you have a good start. I will say any work you do to the heads will be returned an power/torque everywhere. For something with a good idle and plenty of vacuum something like the comp xe274 will have a stock idle,use stock rockers if needed and make torque...

    Tell me about my 383 Magnum engine build from 1989

    The single biggest improvement IMO would be a head swap with a thinner head gasket. Something like the Edelbrock E street with 75cc chambers and a thinner head gasket would likely wake everything up significantly. No cam break in to worry about either.

    1975 B body 400 left side exhaust used in 1973 Swinger with Schumacher motor mounts

    While pricey the Tti 1 3/4 long tubes would be perfect for that setup.Or even the Schumacher tri y would do well.

    Best carb for 440 stroked to 505

    You can run any size carburetor you want,however for maximum performance we would need more details on the engine,trans,rear end,and how you plan to use it. That being said any quality 850 mechanical secondary carb will give you adequate performance once tuned to your engine.

    Daily driving with a 3.5” front wheel= sketchy?

    Back in the 90's for a short time I had skinny's on the front of my 72 Nova. It did not instill any confidence turning at any speed above parking lot mph. I couldn't imagine skinny tires on the front of my 73 Charger at the time. Much more weight. I have 6" on the front of my 72 Duster now and...
