DSM1290 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Ok, i'm new to the world of V8's and i wanted to know how to make a lot of torque out of a 440. With little care on horsepower numbers. Is it basically all in the heads and cam? Or where else do you get lots of torque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 bore and stroke, duel plane intakes make more torque than single plane intakes do for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 cams profile, airflow, etc....what are you looking to do with it? 4x4 truck, or pulling truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 dual plane intake low lift split pattern cam with minimal overlap you could run an edelbrock performer top end kit on that motor with good results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM1290 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'm looking to run it in a weekend warrior. An old Mopar of some kind. I never really understood why you would want more horsepower than torque anyway. but thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 torque is the the twisting force the engine makes horsepower is how fast it makes the torque car craft did a big block shootout not too long ago you might check the library and see if they have the back issue with the specs in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
