I changed an intake the other day and re-found that old glistening Glyptal Red valley staring me in the face. I forgot all about that stuff. This is in a .060 over 68 440 HP short block that I got for $100 many years ago. I just put some heads on it and dropped it in a car and still run it...
Hi gents - A short quiz.
I have three of these things that need homes. Comparing, they are the same as the one in my 72 Big Block Charger. Any idea what other engines or bodies they will interchange with? I am guessing the same for small block and E body?
Thanks.
An easy one....
Subject is a complete stock 69 440 with AC set up. I am putting the engine in a car without AC. I know I need to change the crank and water pump pulley and alternator brackets. Will the AC power steering pump bracket work or do I need to change that too?
I have everything...
Easy one: For a stock 1969 440HP Charger engine - the valve cover studs go in the lower outside corners of the head, two per side? I am pretty sure, but not 100%.
I dropped the original 440 for my 69 Charger off at the machine shop for a "stone stock rebuild" last summer. He was supposed to call me once the block was tanked and crank turned before we picked pistons and cam. Instead I got a call yesterday that it was done and ready for pickup. I was half...
I spray-canned my last 440 build with Mopar Perf Engine paint (orange). The cast iron has held up very well, but the paint on the aluminum water pump housing has flaked off. As I'm getting ready to paint another engine, any tips for getting the paint to stick to the aluminum as well as the cast...
I recently tore down a D 440 HP2 engine block casting date Sept 1 1967 that I was told was virgin when I picked it up years ago. Bore checks as standard. It has steel head gaskets that say "mopar", but it has single valve springs in the 906 heads. I was expecting to see double springs.
Did...
It appears I have found the original 440 block for my 69 Charger, bare, with caps, and presumably rebuildable. How much premium or finders fee do you think is fair / what would you be willing to pay?
I have already installed a correct engine for the car, so I don't plan on building this...
About 22-23 years ago I got a "built" 1966 383 in a trade deal. I disassembled, honed the cylinders, and installed new bearing on the rods and crank. It runs great, but I was not able to identify the pistons from it back then. I suppose it really does not matter, but curiosity is still getting...
Changing the oil pan in the car (73 Charger 440), when I removed the pickup tube I noted that the end of the threaded hole in the block is quite rough. Some of the final threads are broken and uneven. After cleaning it out and checking the pickup tube threads, I am having a bear of a time...
