Hey, guys. At some point in the near future, I will be doing some work on the 440 in my '69 NY. Of course, I will likely be upgrading the cam and intake manifold. This car will never see the track (if I want to build a screamer, it won't weigh over 2 tons), it will spend its life under 5K rpm, and I would like to retain its low-end torque. I will not be putting headers on it (or high flow exhaust manifolds, unless I stumble across a set that's priced right), and I will be keeping the stock heads (though I expect to change the valve springs and perhaps perform other upgrades on them). I am more than willing to upgrade the carb. in an effort to get the most out of it all. I'd like to keep the heat crossover also, as I live in a cold weather climate. I would like to have 350 HP at the wheels, perhaps more if I can get it. The car already has a very good dual exhaust system on it that I see no reason to dispose of. What are your thoughts?
