Same 440 engine in 73/74 is now 325 HP. (Factory 280)
We have a fresh ready to go engine 440/330HP
on engine stand and will be trying it this year if we race.

Basically 40 more CI and 31 more HP rated than our 400 now in
our 73 400 Roadrunner that runs 1.00 + quite a bit more
when we need to. Same Cam and heads etc.

The compression is the problem in both of the combos but
plenty of piston to valve clearance. We raced the 73/440 combo
many years ago.
