     Yeah but I will not hook up the clock as it is a constant drain on the battery , prolly would not be bad if I had her hooked up to a battery tender. I will need to figure out what speedo gear I will need for a 440 4-spd, 8 3/4 rear with 391 gears. still need to order a speedo cable as the ones for the cruise control will not woik, I dunno need cruise control with a 4-speed.

    I was looking at the 440 and I have just about everything to build it the rest of the way. I have never assembled one before.
    The cam is a 6-pack cam grind. Can I run a sixpac with stock rods and a cast crank? The manifold are HP's e-body 1 from a 71 and the other from a 70.
    I have a edelbrock thunderseries carb 750cfm probably would need a 1000cfm to run a sixpac cam until I can afford the sixpack? I prolly should get a .484 cam keep the duel snorkel set-up and be happy.
