Not only does the crank get a serious grinding just to fit the block but the intake manifold of a stock 440 won't begin to fit as it's 1" to wide. There's not enough intake manifold flange to mill away to make up that difference. It takes some serious surgery to a 6-pack aluminum intake to get it to fit a B block. By then you have a tunnel ram as the runners were more up hill. That of course is not acceptable in stock. Superstock is a lot easier to deal with.
