So basically what u just told me is that a mopar 440 has no more power than a mopar 383?
Boring makes power, I know that, which is why I am considering it. Stroking the motor will cost me alot more $. I will do my own porting because we do porting on snowmobile engines as a side job. I could probabally have a deck chop cheaper than I could buy domes.
My main question is Should I just port, chop the head, and refresh the top end and seals. OR, Should I port it, Bore it, and Chop the head. If the cost difference is only going to be $50.
After Hearing it Im going to send the crank out to get trued and welded.
Here is what I came up with so far.
Pistons No matter what size of pro-lites I buy: $82 complete with 2 pistons, pins, rings, and 2 caged bearings.
Piston ceramic coating: $50
Full Gasket and seal Kit $50
Crank True and Weld: $40
Head Deck Chop or new domes: $50
Boring(If I decide to): $60
Porting: $Free
