The only way you could have a 440 Hemi is with the Stage V heads.
Originally they tested the Hemi heads on the 426 RB block (or 413).
They found that this block could not stand up to the HP and demands
that the hemi heads netted so they created a whole new block with
added beef in the skirts and provisions for cross bolted mains. They
are their own animal,
