    383 out - 440 in ?
    « on: August 28, 2015 - 04:39:25 PM »
    70 Cuda 383 with Tremec TKO500 5 speed

    What would need changed to put a 440 where a 383 came out ? I might have a chance to get one for a very fair price.

    the hockey stripe on the side of the car for sure  :roflsmiley:

    Maaaan... that 440 will be beast-mode assuming it's in good running order.

    Possibly the water pump housing, radiator (more cooling) and torque converter. That's about it. Pretty much a drop in and bolt up.

    Do it!! Very few mods required since they're both big blocks, it was covered above. I'd love to see this thing once you've got the engine built up and in the car   :bigsmile:
