WTF thats insane especially with a RPM head. Wow now im definitely excited to build my 440 stroker 512. I will say this Wilson manifolds is worth the money. I took in a edelbrock victor intake for my small block R3 416 mopar build and after having them port the intake with the spacer they gave me it gained 42 HP and 22 foot lbs not touching anything else. Very good numbers Joe you are a good engine builder brother.
I appreciate that man! Wilson manifolds are a game changer, for sure. I had 5-6 hours in this old torker. I had some great port alignment with it. Gotta be worth 10+
Thanks Joe, this is good info. I'm building a srtoker 440 but with ported Indy EZ heads and a Hughes cam just a tiny bit bigger in specs and an M1 single plane. keep up the awesome work.

Great job Joe! I wouldn’t have guessed that much! Edelbrocks? Mildly worked Edelbrocks? What a fantastic street engine that will be! Your buddy could put it in a Chrysler New Yorker and scare people lol!
682 @ 4500 and 638 @ 5,400 RPM gives you 638 🐎🐴 Horsepower! Pretty important and impressive numbers for a middle of the road build as you put it out there in the beginning of the video! As I have said many times over the years now it is not only the parts, it's the people or person that puts the time and work (CARE) into the build! Seen so many times where people were either scammed or did not get a person that owns his work and put the heart,skill, and time into build. I will have to say that it's a great street and strip engine and should do very well depending on the transmission used. God bless you all and your families 🎄🎁
Every body was always downing the smog motors this proves they have the bones to preform... The 383 and 400s have the advantage of the shorter deck height giving them a stiffer over block and bores... Merry Christmas 🎄 Joe and family... And have a great New Year!🎆

Great job Joe. I have a set of Trickflow heads installed on my 440. Trickflow listed felpro 1009 head gaskets for assembly. Do you think the felpro 1009 gaskets will be a problem in the future? I’m hearing the MLS gaskets are better with aluminum heads. Have you used the felpro gaskets? Any feedback on them?
Thanks Jim. The bigger issue is the chamfer that many blocks can with. Thai engine got the cheaper felpro blue gaskets. It has a wider fire ring that’s spaced back from the bores. I’ve sprayed 150 shot on them!

Those are better numbers than the motor I had built back in 2003 which was a 496 stroker 440 (10.5:1) which dyno'd at (going from memory) 576 Hp and around 600 torque with basically stock Edelbrock RPM heads (the Victor heads weren't yet available back then) and a Comp Cams XE295HL hydraulic which at the time was a new grind.
Thanks Robert. I was able to put the cam card at the end of the video. This one is 10.9/1 static. Check out the full build series if you can.
Great job Joe. I have a set of Trickflow heads installed on my 440. Trickflow listed felpro 1009 head gaskets for assembly. Do you think the felpro 1009 gaskets will be a problem in the future? I’m hearing the MLS gaskets are better with aluminum heads. Have you used the felpro gaskets? Any feedback on them?
Thanks Jim. The bigger issue is the chamfer that many blocks can with. Thai engine got the cheaper felpro blue gaskets. It has a wider fire ring that’s spaced back from the bores. I’ve sprayed 150 shot on them!
I predict that Torquer will become wall art after running the Edelbrock RPM manifold.
I’ll do the best comparison I can. I did not use the spacer on the rpm, so I will only show the comparison without it on both intakes.
