Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it very much!

I'll keep that in mind, haven't heard that before. Thank you!

Thinking of how I want to build my 440. I kind of want to do a single turbo and blow thru carb. Wanting some advice from people who know more than I do about that sort of setup.. how much power can the stock cast bottom end take with a max rpm around 5k? Just curious because I don't think I'm...

Yeah, if I go with another 46rh it'll be a different train for sure. I'm thinking I must've missed some clutch somewhere in it before... that transmission before brought a whole new meaning to "burned up" though lol, last time it had all steels, absolutely zero clutch material left... miracle...

Still deciding what I want but that sounds ideal for this thing if I'm honest...

Yeah unfortunately had a family member (who's been working on cars for 40+ years, and has experience rebuilding transmissions, don't worry) help me rebuild it. Just a really strange issue. Never seen one go so fast it was in the first 10-15 miles... I kind of want something older though for less...

Alright, I finally got into my (just rebuilt) 46rh transmission that's currently in my '91 Dakota and of course it ate itself alive. All my clutches are in the pan. My converter lockup was stuck so I thought I was gonna be swapping the solenoids and low and behold... well.. you get the idea...

I'll look it over. Thank you!

I believe it's a black round 3 pin connector up by the shift linkage on the transmission. might be the oval you're talking about though.

Is there any simple test for that or fix you can think of? What wires power the lockup maybe they need power, or maybe it's getting power and doesn't need it.... Thank you for the suggestion either way.

Okay, this is a weird one. Chrysler is on standby right now waiting for the 440 to be done. (Might put a 413 in it just to get it going.) I wanted to get back to my first Dodge, my 1991 4x4 Dakota, when there's of course a new issue that I can't figure out for the life of me... The truck acts as...

Like I said, that's just what I was told. Either way, it still has some good parts I'll probably use. I'll probably still keep the block and everything I don't use anyway to be honest. (Besides the useless heads and water pump and whatnot)

I'll have to check although it's bolted to a common 727 transmission right now, so I don't think it protrudes like the early Hemis and others did....

I've been told they had forged 6pak Rods, whether that's true, I haven't been in it. But, the crank and windage tray are worth taking. I suppose I'll have to make a call to a machine shop.

440 is currently low compression. Around 80-90 psi wet, it doesn't run. It's sat outside for some years, I don't think the cylinders are beyond just a hone to fix. It's not locked. It's a 78 block, and has miss match heads, same chamber and valve sizes (rating wise), different casting numbers...

I have both motors, it's not so much a time and money thing as they're both RB motors so it's direct swap. I'm just not sure about the balance, but I think the extra displacement it worth it. And I'd have to shave a lot off some 906 heads to make the 413 usable because it's an industrial motor...

I like you thought process..... lol In reality though, I'm not throwing $10k at it or anything. Stock heads, used forged bottom end, good compression, ported heads, probably a mild (ish) street / strip cam. I doubt it's gonna be any monster, but she'll smoke some tires I'll bet.

Intake only needs cutting if they don't take what's needed off the face of the head. I'd have them do that so intakes can be swapped later with less trouble if it were me. Not my engine though, if yall have preferences do what you personally prefer. PS. I know it's an older thread. Just making...

Okay, weird idea, I have a 413 which I know came with 6 Pak Rods, a forged crank, and a windage tray, unfortunately it's an industrial motor so the heads are pretty much useless. What's yalls take on putting the Rods, crank and some factory 10:1 pistons in a 440? Windage tray too of course. I...

Power seats on top of it all, can't wait to get her going. Always liked the Newports too. Just goes to show, Mopar could do anything from muscle to luxury and still make it cool.
