Ok I’ll be screwing the motor together next week when all the parts arrive. Low compression 440 with Speedmaster aluminum heads. Used purpleshaft cam 509 lift installed straight up. Crank was turned 20 under. Going with a Cometic MLS .27 compressed head gasket. 72 chamber heads. Should get 8.3 to 8.5 compression. STP oil treatment as assembly lube. Prime engine while rotating. 8 qts 10W30 Penzoil. Looks like I’ll need a single plane intake. Eddy Torker or MOPAR M1 if anybody has a deal on one uncut for a RB MOPAR. I’ll do a clay test on the piston to valve just to be sure. Holley 750 dual line with single pump & 25 squirter to start. I also need a RB curved electronic dizzy. Does this recipe sound good. Any suggestions. Remember it’s a over budge build already. Looking for 375-400 horsepower.
