The great debate

I wouldn't even pull it from the engine bay Summit cam K6401 works well with stock valve springs, idles clean, and still has plenty of engine vacuum if you switch to power brakes later Edelbrock Performer RPM intake is best, but a regular Edelbrock Performer intake will fit under the hood with no issues and fit up nicely with your linkage, but it is pretty much the same as a factory intake just cast in aluminum with marginal improvements. Holley 3310 or 1850 carb I used cheap Flowtech headers for my first 440, they worked fine. TTI headers are best, but they are really expensive If you need a mini starter for header fitment, any 90's Dodge pickup starter will work while being much more compact. I'm using a stock starter from a '97 ram 1500 on a 528 Hemi with no issues cranking it over. 440Source has nice aluminum water pump housings at reasonable prices if you're missing your stock housing Don't let people tell you your exhaust valve seats will need additive to survive unleaded fuel. They're fine. Use them up, wear them out, upgrade your heads later when you have more money and knowledge.
