Killer would the 440 one fit my 383, and would i be correct thinking the spacer needed would go between the head and manifold.. ?

I think im right in saying you need 1/2 inch spacers each side...on the head to make the 440 manifold fit the 383
And a 440 valley tray

Now im not so sure might be the other way round as the 440 is taller so wider :thumbright:

wait for Dave to see it he has more books than me ...and i cant find the spacers or reference on the net ??

THat would be OK-ish on the street but would kill it on the track.

Started Julie's car this morning - Tunnel rams HATE cold and damp, took ages to get the car to idle; not wonderfully streetable but great fun.

Has anyone used a tunnel ram with a single carb on instead of 2 :roll: Just wondered what sort of difference there would be.

You can get a single carb top for a tunnel ram but :? maybe for street use and twins for race.

Loose convertor ....OR lots more torque, as thats what you'll lose down low
