I received my new mancini alum rockers (non-bushed) and was doing an inspection of them. It looks like the oil holes will need a little deburring and I'm not sure if I should be lightly sanding the fulcrums. Also, should the steel adjuster screws get some anti-seize? half of them are a bit...

So I decided to do some pre-spring checking and pull the rockers I installed last summer since threewood had experienced failures with his last year. I had already bought mine, so I went ahead and installed them. Unfortunately, I found the same problem with mine with very little run time. Really...

Picked up these sidewinder heads new from T Marsh in NC and paid him to set them up. I sent him the cam specs and spring requirements, but he put different springs on them. He wasn't concerned but I'd like some opinions on this and I have a few questions while setting up the rockers, etc. Here...

Has anyone installed aluminum heads on a stock bore 383 or 426W (4.25") without clearance issues? I've been contemplating going to aluminum heads but I can't determine if I will have clearance issues with the cylinder walls. Trick Flow 240 for example has a minimum bore size requirement of...

I'm planning to replace the worn out stock rocker arms with crane ductile type. I thought the shafts should also be replaced, but I'm not sure what are good replacements to use with the new rockers. Summit and Jegs have limited options, with none from crane. Are there any variations in diameter...

I could use a bit of guidance regarding a set of 906 heads I'm working on... I bought a set of 906’s sometime ago for my 413 build, because they supposedly had already been rebuilt and had about 10,000k on them before the owner had aluminum's installed. I’ve torn them down to clean & inspect...

Just wondering if a deeper pan is necessary with a HV oil pump. My main bearing clearance is .003, so I'm thinking a HV pump is needed over the stock pump, but then should I look at going to a 6qt pan? Also, with a HV pump, is a 1/2" pu tube necessary for street use of will a 3/8" be sufficient?

Guys, I could some pointers at this stage. I've filed and assembled the rings which are a moly top ring and cast iron 2nd. The rod bearings have a hole on one half which I think is for aluminum rods with a dowel. Does this matter on steel rods and should it be top or bottom? I've read...

So I've been repairing/restoring my 64 Polara in the member's projects section for the past 1.5 years. I'm at the stage where I want to start putting the engine together. http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/can-of-rusty-worms.104526/ I'm aware that a 440 would be cheaper and make...

Just wondering if you guys use a gasket when installing the pumpkin or just RTV it?

I'm squaring up the 70 axle housing and noticed the passenger side is 1/4" shorter from perch to housing flange. Is that normal and to do with the adjuster? The perches are 44" apart and seat fine on my 64s springs but I'm wondering if the perches are not positioned properly. They look original...

Hey, just got to thinking about my stock driveshaft from the '64 318poly. Are there different diameters for the b&t driveshafts from the early 60's? I could Only find charts for the late 60's mopars. Just want to be sure it'll handle the 400hp punched out 413, 727 & 3.55 8-3/4.

Questions for the engine masters here... Should original rods be automatically discarded when doing a rebuild? I acknowledge new rods aren't terribly expensive but it seems a waste to just throw away a set of LY rods that seem ok from an engine that shows little wear. The argument from the shop...

just wondering how you guys transport your engines to the shop and back. I have to bring a block over to the local shop and I'm thinking I have to build a base out of 2x6 etc. show me some pics for inspiration pleeeease :) Two cups of coffee hasn't got my imagination going yet!

I acquired a '73 413 block #2658836 which I was thinking to drop into my 64 Polara. I've read countless posts about 413 builds and thought about boring it out to 426 stock spec but I'm finding it equally challenging to find stock sized pistons for a 426. When I disassembled the 413, I found that...

Hey guys, I stumbled upon a 1970 440 that. The motor is in exceptional condition with all of the cylinders showing minimal wear and no rust, considering it was shelved as a spare motor for the last ten years. My dial indicator tells me that the bore and taper are good and is within specs that...
