    I always hated using a tube of silicone to make a gasket

    Don't know if this helps but it looks like it might work.

    How much free movement should I have in a drive shaft?

    The rear axle is hanging down to its limit of travel. My shaft with the yoke bottomed out, leaves three-quarters of an inch approximately before the rear joint goes in the rear yoke. Seems a bit tight when the car sits on the ground. How much end play should I have? Thanks

    Stock Torque Converters

    Since I can't go with a high stall one price-wise, I picked up a remanufactured one from a trans shop. In measuring the taped thread centers I found two are a full eight inches, while the opposite ones are seven and five-eighth inches. Did four forties use such a small odd span of tapped holes...

    After market conversion engine mounts

    There was no instruction sheet included. This mount was designed to allow a big block to use the small black k-member. Each mount is two pieces, the rubber one and the bracket, that bolts to the block. Question is, they both are identical, except one has a tube welded into the mounting holes. So...

    No oil presser to rockers

    OK, this is a rebuild, I stopped assembling at the long block plus the oil pan. I primed the oil pump with vasoline, added five quarts of oil. And turned the pump with a shaft and drill. Nothing coming up to either side of the rockers. I did have oil flow at the sending unit port. A little...

    1978 440 Motor home engine

    Question, can a stock torque converter be used behind these engines? Secondly I have that flex plate specifically made to help balance the engine, which way dose it bolt to the crankshaft. I'm a ways from putting the drive train in, but I want to be sure I everything ready come that day. Thanks

    Ordered new rods and rod bearings but?

    No hole on the big end of the rod or the bearings to oil the cylinder walls? Oh well that's what a die grinder is for.

    Installing my 440?

    I'm putting grade eight bolts in the intake, and hope to lift the assembly by snaking a chain under it. What do you guys think? I think this engine weighs a thousand pounds?

    440 Engine No Oiling To Rocker Shafts

    This is beyond frustration. I had a shop West of Cleveland who claimed to be highly experienced in this engine. I couldn't find anyone local to do the work and any of the suggested shops were much further away plus that 440 shop in the Detroit area only does the work unless they do a hundred...
