You should do the V-10 ACR motor and turned the SC unit for 900HP instead.
Baahhahaha. Then watch the reaction from the local RICERS, Ls, and so forth
from that cloud of tire smoke you left behind.

Subject: Re: DML: 440 in a Gen III
After the install of the Vortech, I did THE bid NO NO. I set the timimg
retard down to zero degrees (albeit accidently). This caused a head gasket
to go, which lead to overheating, etc, etc. Then the mechanic I gave the
job to didn't go though the motor as well as he should have, and I've been
fighting gremlins. The truck overheated again a week ago monday, I checked
the oil and found water again. NOT a good thing. So the motor is coming
out, and with all of the problems, is NOT going back in (especially since I
just got a 2000 R/T). The 98 is paid for, and was being turned into more
and more of a strip toy. It now knows and fully wants to live up to its new
intended purpose ( picture Dr Frankenstein belly laughing here, rubbing his
hands together). The big question is on of the 440s I have, or build a
360/408. I thinks its much easier to build BIG power with excess cubic
inches. BUT a stout naturally aspirated 408 making a conservative 425, then
throw on the Vortech also sounds KEWL.
Thoughts anybody??
