Cory,
It would be nice to find out your cam profile but with the engine component
description of your 440, stock convertor, 3.23 gears, and “stock” tire
size...the question or concern for choosing the “right” aftermarket aluminum
intake is an easy question to answer without fear of reducing your current HP
& torque. Any good dual plane intake will mirror much of the
performance you now experience and if you are moving from an OEM cast iron 2bbl.
or cast iron 4bbl. I think you will be quite pleased with the 4bbl. Edelbrock
RPM Airgap intake (dual plane design) on your 440. Your only concern is to
get the height specs to make sure you have proper hood clearance.
Take care,
Gary Pavlovich
Hey y'all. Going out of town until Monday but
got a question for the group. Is there any way to determine what size cam
I have in my 440 without taking it apart. The reason I don't know what
size cam I have is that I bought the motor from a guy who needed money for an
operation. He said he put in a cam "a size or two above the factory" but
did not remember what grind. Plus he re0 ringed it. He said he used
the original pistons. The block is a 1970 casting. The reason I ask
this is cuz I'm trying to find the best matching intake for my car.
-- Here's what I got. 65 Polara with above engine and a rebuilt 727 tranny with the stock torque converter. 3.23 gears with 245/60/R15's on the front, and 255/60/R15's on the back. The car is 100% original except for the tranny, engine and tire size. The original tire size was something like 195/75/R14. Damn car would lay 50 foot patches of rubber no problem with those little things on there. I've wanted to ditch the cast iron boat anchor for a while now but haven't had the money until now. And I want to do it right the first time instead of being unhappy with my choice of intake. So yeah, I need some serious advice with this. Or should I just pick an intake and be done with it. What I really want is some more low end grunt without sacrificing my top end. I know the much larger than factory tires will make my gear ratio closer to a 2.97 or so. As I said, I don't want to be unhappy with my choice of intake. So any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
