I 2nd RainX AntiFog. Worked great for me.
Your 440 appears to have the industrial heads on it. Those exhaust manifolds are quite a bit wider than the regular manifolds. It will be nearly...
How about the famous "Magic Muffler" the one that threw the bottom end of the 354 Hemi out the bottom at Lions dragstrip in the 60's. I don't know...
The V10 Vipers sound good when they have the rear exit exhaust, not so much with the side exhaust. A friend of mine had a 69 427 Corvette with...
Harold Lloyd was from a small town in southeastern Nebraska-Burchard, about 20 miles from where I grew up. Just a little hole in the wall left,...
Sorry-no pictures, but when I'm driving the 71 Polara in my avatar, and people come up behind me-they ALL slow down. And yes- the Mopar cop cars...
Thanks!
Anyone remember the name of the thread regarding the All you wanted to know on the early Oldsmobile engines. Thanks-
Nice build! In your transmission information, you didn't mention anything about kickdown linkage, although your firewall room is limited you...
Quite a few years ago, their catalog had a footnote on their leaf spring kits noting to use the 65-71 Dodge Pickup front leaf springs if you...
I work at a Continental plant, used to be Goodyear plant. We can order stuff for the cost of manufacture plus shipping from the warehouse to my...
We usually stop at the Lambert's in Ozark, just south of Springfield. Are they completely open again? It's been several years since I've stopped....
Buy a reprint of the original 1939 Service Manual. They have a diagram of the frame and all of the measurements that you need.
Hope you can see out of those tiny windows! Looks too extreme to me. Otherwise good luck on the build.
If you don't use the right oil and do it right, you WILL be putting a new cam and lifters in at least. Probably more like a complete engine...
They make very good stroker motors. Check out 440Source.com. 500 cubic inch motor that looks like a 383!
That's some nice shit. It was nice of him to give you his dog, cute little fellow! I'd of taken him too!
I found one of their fender covers years ago on a farm sale. Neat piece to have.
I agree. Forged cranks with manual transmissions. But the motorhomes were more than likely cast cranks with the 727. I was just throwing this out...
What year is the motorhome donor? With the Thermoquad, it has to be a least a 1973, which would have a cast crank. Chrysler never made a flywheel...
Carter Thermoquad.
Thanks! I think the Ball Stud Hemi was slated to use the Carter Thermoquad.
Stick it in a Chevy something and listen to them whine!
Bowtieoverdrives.com might be able to help you out. At least good information on how important the transmission adjustment is.
Watch in your rear view mirror for Chinese parts falling off.
I'm pretty sure the Mopar 440 center carbs are 350 cfm and the outers are 500 cfm's, with a total of 1350 cfm.
I see on other forums that Scat is better than Eagle.
The wheelbase is different between a 38 Dodge and a 38 Plymouth. The Dodge has a 3 inch longer wheelbase. So, I'm thinking the 37's are the same...
Snap-tite are premium connectors. I like the stainless steel ones.
When I bought my 68 Dart GTS 340, it had a Crane Fireball in it. But mine was a hydraulic. I got ahold of Crane and they sent me a cam card. It...
