My son got a GREAT 1970 440/4. We got it all apart and found that
everything is in perfect condition inside it. Just a small cleaning and re-ring
it. Of course everything wil be new going back into it. Question is, he likes a
big cam. The comperssion will still be 9.5 or 9.7 as stock with 906 heads. He
was loking at the cam size of 500/302...or 509/282...not sure about the last
number "282". But he wants a lumpy cam. How big can he go with stock
everything...of course with dual springs too. The pistons are stock 1970 flat
tops..no valve releifs. What ya think? Will it work without smacking into
eachother? I really cant get over how clean and nice everything was inside
that engine...original 46K miles..no ridge at all. Hone it and go.

The guys I work with will always be there..not the Army. :clock:
