67 440 with AC

[murfman]

Looking for some detailed engine photos of a 67 R/T or GTX 440 with factory air. I had a mishap and lost all my photos from the disassembly stage of my motor and life got in the way, 18 months later I’m getting ready to reassemble the engine and could use a guide
To where the brackets
Mountain, the exhaust shields go and the plug wire looms etc..

My car actually has a 68 motor in it and a 69 AC compressor. But for any help it can provide here are a couple of pictures. The idle compensator and master cylinder are not stock. Ignition wire looms are hard to shown on these engines.

Hi AR. Great pics. Thanks!
What engine paint did you use for factory turquoise?
How is performance with that 4-hole 2806178 factory intake? Did you do anything to prep intake other than have a machine shop tank it/clean it out?
Thanks Ben

I used the Mopar labeled turquoise paint. Not sure if it is still around. It goes on kind of bluish but after a few heat cycles it transforms into a turquoise. The engine was gone through by the previous owner before I got it about 25 years ago and I’m not sure how much work he had done to it other than I remember a new magnum cam and lifters. With AC it’s a pretty heavy car but I’ve got a fully restored, correct Carter 750 AFB on it and I built up a Chrysler dual point distributor with custom curve for it. With a 3.55 rear and rebuilt 727 and slightly loose converter it performs pretty strong - it puts out the torque.

I have a factory intake on a 440. I wondered if you think it hinders performance.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s not a performance item. For a stock motor with stock exhaust and heads it’s adequate and it’s factory AC useable and the air cleaner clears the hood insulator (barely). I think the M1 Mopar Performance, aluminum dual plane intake was considered to provide a little better flow/few more HP, save some weight, still mount all accessories and still clear the hood fine - if you can find one. Example below.

There are some aftermarket low profile, dual plane intakes but I don’t keep up with what’s out there. You might try to ask on a separate thread. If you are not concerned about hood clearance and mounting factory accessories then there are many options. But, my impression is that without an improvement in heads and exhaust, an intake can at best provide only a modest improvement in HP, maybe not enough to notice.
