So I want to have a 440 built....

Machine shop should have pistons on Friday. Decided to use Keith Black KB 251's.

Awesome news, congrads!

I'll post run sheets from the dyno if folks care to see them.

So what was our total cost approximation on this rebuild, after parts, dyno, and machine shop? If you don't mind me asking?

I'll share it as soon as I pay the final bill. We were estimating $4300.

Carb's too lean for our altitude, will be richened up tomorrow and a few more pulls made. Engine builder is surprised by how much power and torque we're getting from such a mild build. Did I leave power on the table? Probably, but I'm really happy with these results.

Final run, 451hp, 528 ft lbs torque.
