No need to apologise :thumbsup: I'm getting positive feedback regarding reusing the lifters on the matching lobes which is good but hearing from others about resurfacing them is making me want to buy new ones. I haven't pulled the lifters from the old motor yet. I'll get to that at the weekend...

Unfortunately that's not an option here in Ireland. Machines hops are very limited to the work they do. If you recommend defacing lifters that would mean buy a new set which if that's the recommendation I'll do it. It just works out around $400 for a set of lifters for me. A lot of money but if...

I won't be reusing pistong rings or bearings as the rings are broken in already on the last motor and this is a freshly block. They are super cheap aswell so they will be changed. The reason for reusing lifters is that they are already broken in to the cam and I think everyone knows how...

Welcome from Dublin, Ireland

I've learned over the build of my 440 that new doesn't mean good and I'm not talking about rockauto new. I'm talking spending big money on coils, alternators, transmission parts and the occasional rockauto item. Sometimes the old parts are the best or just better than a lot of new items. I'm...

Dude that's what's so cool about the car. I love either super clean or ratty with a sweet clean motor. I'm trying to insert a video of my own but I'm useless when it comes to computers. It's a 69 mod top satellite with a 67 440 motor bored .030 with flat top pistons, 452 heads, torker 2...

Noted 100%. There was never a cam or lifters issue in the motor but everything will be checked before I install it into the new block.

Awesome. That's what I like to hear because lifters are cheap but shipping and import duties are killer. Sweet looking ride

As the title says I'm swapping my full rotating assembly including cam from one 440 that developed a crack in a water jacket into a freshly bored block. I have my new motor on a stand and my old motor beside it and I'm transferring most stuff over excluding piston rings and bearings. My question...

Greetings. I'm in dublin also. Great to see another addition to the mopar scene here in Ireland

Cheers dude. It's not a bad car and is very fun to drive. Can't wait to get the exterior in tip top shape with a new mod top and then it's onto the interior

The granny leg/one wheel peel keeps me between the ditches. It's only an 8 1/4 under it at the moment. Have an 8 3/4 to go under it over the winter

Here's a short clip of me leaving a recent cars and coffee event. It's also running open headers

So I've been working away on my pride and joy for the last few years with some major help from this forum. The 69 satellite mod top converted from a little 318 to the almighty 440 has hit the road and all I can say is wow. A few minor issues with stumble off idle but I should hopefully have that...

Yet another update and I think this time I've nailed it. So I updated to the MSD 6al and put electric fans on the car when I installed the 440. I also got the tuff stuff 130amp external regulated alternator and have also installed the tuff stuff voltage reg. I finally got brave enough to take...

So apologies for the late update but I've worked the last 20 days straight and haven't had time for playing with the 440. Took the car for a rip today. It was a rough start with the E10 fuel sitting for the last few weeks but once she was warmed up and a drop of fresh fuel she was good to go...

I checked for vacuum leaks by spraying the motor with brake cleaner while running. Didnt find anything. I'm only getting around 7 pounds with my idle at 645rpm. I didnt get out to the car yesterday as I got called into work and was working a long shift today. Have to do the work to pay for...

Well got the plugs and new voltage regulator installed today. To be honest it was like a new car. Tuned the carb a bit and there's no more raw fuel smell in my workshop. Handy little trick for installing the plugs I used some 3/8 fuel line over the plug to thread them in. Made it fairly simple...

I'm running summit brand headers and I doctored them for clearance before I installed them in the car. I'm also running heat sleeves on my plug wire ends. Had a look at them the other day and they looked perfect thankfully but I'll check them when I'm at the car today

Well I still am on my testing period so as the lucas motto goes get home before it gets dark is something I've been living by. There's a few things I want to do with the car before driving at night and that is getting it running right and be comfortable knowing its trouble free. Friday can't...
