Changed oil in the street/strip 440 today.

[Hemi426]

Seven quarts of Penn Grade 1 40 wt. and a Bosch Distance Plus D3500 filter.

I would not think you would want or need a SAE 40 for a drag engine. Roadrace yes, Drag no. Prb a good oil though. At least its not LUCAS

 

[Hemi426]

It's thin enough to build fairly quick oil pressure on summer days and it maintains pressure better than a 10w-40. A lot of draggers use Penn Grade 1 except most of them use 20w-50 around here.

My favorite stoplight to stoplight motor of all time. Dead reliable and cheap to keep.

Enjoy that monster!

Steve,
In case you were curious, my 440 has ported 906 heads, a steel crank with Max Wedge Stage 3 rods along with Mopar Performance 11.5 to 1 .030 over pistons.Cam is a Lunati Voodoo hydraulic with 242* duration at .050 and .533 lift intake. Exhaust duration is 252* and lift is .555. Intake is an Edelbrock Performer RPM topped by a 750 cfm Carter/Edelbrock carb. Ignition is all MSD.

Looking forward to seeing that monster. Better yet, make a video of it!
