Just purchased a refurbished 1978 440 .It’s on original bore just a re ring.bores were touched up.crank bearings done.valves re ground.It came with a torker 2 intake .No carby.Ok so I do know these have low compression on these years .The question is what do I need to get this up to around 450+hp.

Very similar, the 2k epoxy was applied about 6 months ago to seal the metal. All auto shops recommend.Like you said no need to sand if using within around 2 days.

prepping my car for paint. Going to list the procedures I think are correct but not totally sure,your input is welcome. 1-bare metal 2.2k epoxy primer 3.filler 4.block sand 80 5.re epoxy if showing bare metal 6. Block sand 120/220 7.2k primer surfacer 8.block sand using guide coat...

Came across these pics, I think from Europe.

That’s nice.very good finish.Thanks also for the pics.

Thanks.will try to get this down under.

Cover it with vinyl.

Repainting my dashboard,want to know if colour is semi-gloss,satin or something else.Any help photos etc would be very helpful.Thanks

3spds ok.thought I will ask.All good

Wondering if it’s worth putting in an overdrive on a 727 transmission, making it a 4spd,or go buy a aftermarket Tran with this done.

Spring jig for painting or powder coat I made up,anyway you’ve probably seen it before but for those who haven’t.

Ok, just hard when your far away

I’m wanting to build an engine cradle for big block (as per pic) anyone out there able to help me out with measurements/dimensions. Thanks

Thanks. Compression ok?

Looking at buying a recon 440 around 71.with 452 heads: are these ok ; I heard they work well with todays petrol
