I had a '73 Charger with a 440 in it that I started at night with NO exhaust system...the light show from the exhaust ports amused us until the cops came

yep--mostly on the aero forum.

440source heads? looks good, but you need to buy the matching Moroso air cleaner for the full 'better off dead' look

If you've been to Carlisle and hung out at the DC tent I may have met you. And yes they are 440 source heads.
