I've got an opportunity to buy a 440 for my Cuda and wanted to know what you guys think of it and what it's worth before I go through with it. It's a neighbor of mine and he's a real good guy so I don't think he would try to screw me on this, but just wanted to throw this out there and see what you guys think. Here's the description he gave me:
-Motor is a Dan Dvorak ballanced, blueprinted, line bored & decked &
assembled 440. It has Weisco pistons, steel crank, 214/181 valved heads
(Herb McCandless personally ported for me,) Dvorak custom pushrods &
Lunatti cam, Perf Carb lazered & built 750 Holley with a M1 powdercoated
intake, Miloden pan w/ hemi pickup, MSAD AL6 box. (Machining &
assembly only was $3600.)
Block is drilled .30 over.
We went for a ride on Sunday and I was thrown back in my seat with the power that this engine has. We laid about 2 telephone pole lengths of rubber
and that's with his dart being mini-tubbed. It sounds and runs strong. He's letting it go to me for 3k.
Watcha think?
