How much horsepower does a 440 engine put out?

Although the most powerful factory stock 440 engines produced a rated 390 gross horsepower, the OEM blocks can take power in the 600hp range, and survive practically indefinitely at the 500-550hp level. Mopar built quite a bit of strength into the bottom end of these engines.

What should the timing be on a 440 Mopar?

Try this: set initial timing (no vacuum) at 14, connect the vacuum advance to manifold vacuum ( not ported) then run the rpm back up and you should have around 32-36 all in. The reason for connecting to manifold vacuum is that as rpm increase, manifold vacuum falls off and mechanical advance kicks in.

Is the 440 ignition timing with MSD system?

440 Ignition Timing with MSD system. I may be asking an over asked question, but I might just be missing it.. Combo: MSD 6AL, MSD Coil, MSD Pro Billet distributor without vacuum advance and MSD wires (all new items). Engine is also Edelbrock performer single plane intake with Edelbrock card.

What’s the ignition timing on a BB Mopar?

Regardless of ignition system the total timing on a BB MoPar is 36-38 deg (32 deg for HEMI). Set the mechanical advance so it’s all in by 2200 – 2500. You may find a happy place for the initial to be 10-15 BTC. Vacuum advance should be hooked up on the ported port on the carb and as a rough setting should add 10 deg when a vacuum signal is present.

When did the Chrysler 440 V8 engine come out?

The Chrysler 440 V8 engine was built from 1966 to 1978 and was the last of the Mopar engines that were over 400 cubic inches. The 440 was definitely not as powerful as the 426 HEMI but considering it could be purchased for half the price of a HEMI there were a lot of buyers ready to purchase this Mopar powerhouse.
