Well got the heads finally on had to wait for the studs to come in, course now I can't find my other intake gasket. Always something. Motor is a .060 over 440, h beam rods with a steel crank, ported stealths and ported M1 with a welded valley cover, isky 292 cam, hooker super comps, I have some 1.7 roller rockers trying to space out properly, have a holley 850dp, ill see if it will be enough, if not I have a 1050 dom. I can put on.

Love it, engine **** yeah baby! When you get it running I will be interested in seeing how well that welded valley pan works is it part of the manifold or two pieces?
 
Thank you. The guy I bought it from had it welded to the manifold, just need to silcone the ends and use standard intake gaskets.
 
Cool,

Hey I just noticed your pistons are dished and the dish is on the top side? does that work with your heads?
 
Looks Sweet! Wouldn't mind hearing that with open headers it should rumble nicely!!

Yea I actually installed them the wrong way, was tired not a good thing to do. Its just the valve reliefs. Already rolled the motor over when checking clearance for the 1.7s.
 
In case I missed it... What's the HP/Torque you are expecting? Man that motor look's great. Best of luck!
 
I could see 550 easy probably going to push over 600 can't wait to hear it. make sure you video the start up love me some engine **** in video form lol
 
I hopeing for 550hp if I make 600 ill stoked. Ill be running 110 leaded plus going to spray some meth too to just boost it up a notch.
 
I thought you were building some high HP BB wedge turbo combo or is that a different car & build... That 440 build, looks like a decent build too...
