    Swapping cam from one 440 into another

    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...

    440 misfire when hot curising

    So my 440 started to suffer with a misfire after it gets hot at cruising speed. Picked the car up today and it started first tip of the key. Took it for a drive and it pulled like a train all the way up to 95mph. The throttle response is great but after a drive on the interstate at 70mph for...

    Freshly rebuilt 727 help

    Hey everyone. I have finally got my 440 running and it sure does sound mean with the whiplash cam. I installed the driveshaft today and tried driving the car out of my garage. It was very slow at moving forward or backwards. It almost felt as if the brakes were engaged. I tried shifting through...

    Torque converter bottoms out in crank

    Hey folks. I always seem to just come hee with issues. Well I finally got my 727 and 440 bolted together. I picked up a slightly used 3000 stall converter off a buddy. He also gave me a .090 spacer that was used on his motor. The converter slots in nicely to the crank but the converter pilot...

    440 whiplash cam pushrods

    Hey everyone. I've installed the whiplash cam in my motor and used the hughes 5001 lifters and stock rockers. I was checking pushrod lengths and my rods vary in length. The shortest is 9.228 and longest is 9.267. I need to achieve .080 to .095 preload but unfortunately I can't see it being as...

    440 build

    So im building up my 440 and I have a few questions regarding piston orientation. I'm using sealed power l2266f30. What I noticed is the wrist pin is offset in the piston so that would indicate that the drivers side bank arrow would face forward while the passengers side would face rear to keep...

    440 cam choice

    Hey guys and gals. I'm putting a 440 motor together that I got from a guy. Gave it a general overhaul and now I'm looking for a cam. I wanted to get a whiplash cam but the compression ratio is too high for it. The pistons are .005 in the hole. They are also flat top. The heads are 516 with 84cc...

    C body rear end swap into b body

    hey guys. So my car is currently a 318 car with a 904 and an 8.25 rear. The motor is cracked so I found a donor c body that will give its heart to make my satellite live on. It’s a 66 New Yorker and it’s a low mile car. Only 48k on the car but it sat outside all of its life so it has rotted...

    904 2nd to 3rd slip

    Like the headline says it's slipping from 2nd to 3rd. I was out for a spin this weekend a d I noticed the slip was ever so slight at very high revs but if I'm very light on the throttle it just does not want to shift up. I tried shifting manually and it's also the same. The trans was slightly...
