Hemi heads for 440

[Deskota]

Has anyone built a stage V hemi head 440. Were you satisfied with the results?

[426 Hemi]

i personally have'nt.. and never met anyone that has. do they still sell them? most guys start out with one of the great hemi blocks now available...just a much better block than an old 440 block, specially if you want to make alot of power. Stage V heads do make alot of power. might i suggest a good World block that ray barton helped design? i think you would'nt be sorry.

Several years ago a friend of mine built one. Stage V was very helpful in recommending parts- cam and such. It had a Mopar Performance Cross Ram with new Cross Ram Holley carbs. Everything in the engine was new except the block. The heads themselves were works of art as were the rocker gear. He spared no expense in the buildup. It went into a 70 Road Runner with a 4 speed and a 4.10 Dana. His health suddenly failed and he had to sell it before he got it on the road. He did have the engine dynoed in Omaha someplace and it dynoed at 690 horsepower. He said he went outside the building where they were running it in and said the ground was shaking outside.. The buyer was from California I think. If anybody has ever seen this orange Road Runner out and about, post or send me a private message with its' whereabouts. It had 15X7 Rallyes on front and 15X10 Rallyes on back
