help a brother out, guys. Misaligned belts on my 440. Damper/crank pulley seems too far out. Inspect damper, find about an 1/8” (just about exactly the alignment concern amount) of space before the damper is flush to the crank. (See image) Try to push it down with damper tool, snapped the...

been searching but can’t find an answer... Is it possible to install a “for cast crank only” balancer onto a forged crank (440), and vice versa? Not that I want to install a ‘wrong’ one, I just want to rule out or find possibility that my car has the “wrong” damper on it. I’m also finding...

should I replace this thing, or is it probably ok? And does this sort of wear bother anyone, to where I should start looking at other parts as a problem?

So my vibration damper was not fully seated by the last guy to mess with it. I need to get it fully seated. Randy at Bouchillon told me “remove the damper and the reinstall it” (more or less.) but I thought “man, I’ll just snug it down with an install tool and I’ll be good. But no. I broke...

so, lets say a guy was considering selling his 440 in favor of a 3g Hemi swap or something... Whats a fair asking price to sell a 440? In this particular case, a 76+ block, with unknown specifics beyond a purple shaft cam, eddy RPM airgap intake, and otherwise solid-seeming motor. Its not...

Late 70’s (i think 76, maybe 78) 440, AC/PS... the PS/WP Belt is a screecher, starts getting loud pretty early, at say 2500rpm. It has already broken this belt in the past with a kickdown stomp rolling at 45 or so. The pulleys are misaligned, and I’m not sure where to place blame (and...

The PO of my car swapped the 318/904 for a 440/727... he however, did NOT change the column-shift linkage. Awesome members on here alerted me to the fact that the 904 linkage is longer, as seen here. It was hitting/rubbing the transmission housing, so I don’t know how he got through putting it...

68 Satellite. Is there any difference between a big and small block, and/or between a 727/904 for the shift linkage on a column shifted car? Any different length parts, or different linkage entirely? Car was a 318/904, PO swapped to 440/727. The shift linkage is stock, and has a real hard time...

my 68 sat 440 has an eddy performer RPM intake and street avenger 750 carb, 4” tall airfilter on a 1.5” drop base. K&N aircleaner filter+cover adds another 1.5” in height. Total height from bottom lip of the valve cover is about 11.5”. At present, I have a liftoff fiberglass a12 hood, and the...

is there a market at all to sell a 318 and/or a904? Or does everyone who needs one just upgrade to something bigger anyway? If I had (i do) a ‘69 318 and 904 with low original miles on them, although not currently running for electrical/carburetor reasons, what would be a realistic price to...

Hey everyone... got a ‘68 Satellite, started as a 318/904, now its a 440/727. I bought the car this way. It sat aplenty before I got it, and I’ve fixed a lot of “professional upgrades” it had already. However, its my first 727 equipped ride. And the trans is....funny. It’s supposedly built by...

hey all. I just got a refurb speedo in the car, and the (known wrong) speedo gear of 26 teeth read faster than GPS speed. I ordered the”right” speedo gear of 33 teeth (28” tire diameter, 3.55 rear, on my 727) and it reads slower than GPS speed. I don’t know where to blame for the “right” gear...

I’ve got a 727 behind a 440, both out of some 1977 donor vehicle that I cannot identify. The trans has been “customized” with a special-order converter and some kind of shift kit, but I can’t tell you what, because the PO couldn’t tell me. What I CAN tell you is that it shifts 1st-2nd gear...

sooo I need some help... I installed summit long-tube headers on my 71 charger, 318. I made another thread already complaining about the vagueness of instructions, but here's a second complaint that I'm looking for some insight on. The instructions indicate "Auto transmissions 'may' have to...

I couldn't find any definitive info during my search, so I figured I'd post for the next guy to look. I bought Summit's long-tube headers for my 71 Charger 318, and was very annoyed to find out that the driver's side headers go 'around' the steering drag-link. I don't mean just under, or...

Anyone nearby the SF Bay area, that has a camshaft bearing remove/install tool that I can utilize for an hour? None of the local shops have rentals available, I don't want to pay a few hundred for one, and I don't want to lug my block to the shop. If you can help a brother out, it's good for a...

So, I'm mid-rebuild, motors out and apart... Freeze plugs looked ok, but I figured, meh lets change em. Bear in mind, I've spent all my money on rebuild parts, the motor mic's out solid, so I opted to not take it in for thermal/machine work. HOW WAS MY ENGINE COOLING AT ALL? Ha. Guess its an...

Hi all. I reently bought a 71 charger 318, on the info that it was "all original, a survivor"... Turns out I've been had. I pulled the motor with the intent to rebuild and retain, but found that the motor was cast 2-17-1977.... Happy birthday, motor. So now I have these questions: What...
