I was just looking at this thread (magazines for sale) FOR SALE - Lot Of 12 Assorted Mopar Muscle Magazines
and noticed that on 1 magazine cover it says DOHC 426 hemi.
I knew oldsmobile had this:

I bought a new transmission mount from "energy suspension" because i need to replace mine.
After pulling the old one out we noticed that the new one is 1cm (0,39") HIGHER than the old one. It would only be possible to install that by using force/pressure and it would also move the...
Chapter 1: Rant
Today i'm trying to be more calm but i can't resist, i feel like i HAVE TO tell people:
In case you missed my other thread: Changing the engine mounts on a 69 big block b body in a driveway SUCKS.
What's new today: The passenger side already sucked but the driver side was even...
Right now i'm in the process of replacing my engine mounts and @DeltaV recommended to replace the transmission mount aswell.
Well i already got a replacement and its just 1 mount so i think i should do it (if possible).
But how do i do it?
It's a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with the original 440...
I want to clean my cooling system before installing my new glen-ray radiator.
I currently have an aftermarket unit which works but the mounting points for the shroud are different and that sucks so i want to replace it. (Also for originalities sake)
Problem is i currently have an issue with my...
Summer is coming so i'm getting ready to do some work on the charger in my driveway.
Unfortunately the transmission in my 69 charger (440, 727) is doing this:
Is this internal or could it need some linkage adjustment etc.?
It's doing it since i got the car.
Maybe i should do a transmission...
Working on my 1969 dodge charger r/t 440 auto w/ac i noticed the power steering pulley seems to be bent.
It's also misaligned with the crank pulley at the bottom of the engine. (I guess due to the fact that its bent)
See pictures (looks worse in person):
I wonder what i should do about...
I just found this browsing ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/363369817248
I'm not looking to buy this, i'm not even building engines but i'm curious how serious this kind of damage really is?
And since i'm so curious and knowledge never hurts i decided to ask you guys. :)
I imagine it can be...
I often read or see people saying that modern engines (ls, gen3 hemi etc.) or retrofitting efi gives them so much better (daily) driveability
and use this as a reason for the swap.
I really can't understand this. I've been daily driving old fashioned carbureted cars (even with manual operated...
My friend with the 1990 lincoln mark VII was on the way to prague when his engine started to make funny noises and the check engine light came on.
(According to him the check engine light comes on when the engine overheats or oil pressure is low.)
He describes the noise as "ticking like a...
I have 80w90 oil and Mopar Limited Slip Additive.
The bottle states
I dont get what this means?
I want to change my differential oil.
How much limited slip additive do i have to add when filling it up with 80w90?
Or how much should i add per liter of oil?
See pictures.
I think its a 8 3/4 rear axle/differential, right?
And how is the other pictured part called?
Would need that replaced including a new seal.
I wanted to use lead additive (not substitute) but it seems really hard to get in my area.
Its also illegal in my area.
There is a hardened valve upgrade set available (its from indy)
https://www.moparshop.com/Online-Shop/Motoren-Teile/16219/Upgrade-gehaertete-Ventilsitze
its just about 200...
What would you use and why?
I was reading misc opinions on the substitutes.
Some people seem to have experienced valve failure despite they used a substitute.
This is why i tend to use a real lead additive like this one:
But man, read those instructions on the can.
they scare me quite a bit...
This Book:

Says (regarding to the 1978 Plymouth Fury with the 440 Engine)
So this leads me to the Question:
Are the 440's in Police Cars any different than those in Passenger Cars?
Or are these exactly the same...
Well i know the Hemi 426 is better than the 440.
But i dont know why. :D
1.
Both Engines have nearly the same displacement
2.
Both Engines have nearly the same amount of Horsepower
3.
Both Engine have nearly the same amount of Torque
4.
Indy Cylinder Heads offers both a built 440 and 426...
Just curious how many Engine HP will be needed for 500rwhp.
Related to b Bodies with 440 or 426 with a 727 Automatic Transmission Setup. Maybe with GV Overdrive.
What do you think?
Hi,

Im living in germany so i have the joy of the...
