RE: Attencion 440 Experts



My 440 is a 73 or 74.  It had stock 906 heads on it and had been warmed 
up a bit by the previous owner (cam & intake).  I put in a set of KB 
pistons which bumped the compression to @ 10:1 and had the heads ported. 
 The increased compression REALLY woke that motor up.  So make sure that 
is in your plan.  (note: my stock pistons were @.140" down in the hole.)
