What kind of hp drop would you expect with this build when it's checked at the wheels (if it is)? Looks like a good combo. Should be lots of fun.  |

Bull, I've wondered that as well. I'll let the pros make the call on this one.  |

Wonder what exhaust manifolds would do to the power/torque Any guesses?

No pro, but most dirvelines take up about 13-20% of the HP, I could be wrong. But that is often the case. and does depend on a few factors.

That's an absolutely gorgeous torque curve, you guys are finally putting together with a 440 stroker what I've been doing with a 383 with a 440 crank, and I'm really liking the potential on the stealth heads in this region.
They appear to be exactly as advertised, its not a race head for high HP, although it would probably do a decent job if you port it out and match it with a good cam. For a street able head that makes an obscene amount of power, I think I'm sold.

The cam profile was specced based on streetability and vacuum requirements for power brakes. This engine will idle like a stock 440 and light the tires up at will from just about any speed
That sounds like the perfect engine combo for me.. |

Looks to me like it's time to buy some stock in M/T. You will be spending a bunch of your allowance on rubber.  Great build... Ron knows his chit.... I also think this would be a great build for MOST of the mainly street cars on the board. How do you beat those TQ. numbers?? This is a purring LION.......... |

Sweet! Perfect for a C-body coming in at TWO TONS!!!(with a passenger) Was gonna go 543 but, this combo looks right on the money. I assume that was a dish piston set-up as the flat-tops are way up in the 11's to one, with Edelbrocks. Is the engine still running after 8 long years lol...  5J |

Well Done.
Don't get caught up in the hp numbers game. There is so much BS out there. I would have put this motor in the 480 to 500 hp range.
I think the build is excellent for the intended purpose. For a 100% street duty car, when the hammer is dropped, 95% of the passengers will think it is 600 hp.
It would be easy to put another 60 hp in this, but look at the simplicity of it as built. OOTB-value-minded-heads, stock valve gear, easy on parts cam. This it a true close the hood and forget about it, change the oil once a year deal.

So, how is that bruiser running, just eight years after the dyno test?
