I use Lucas Hotrod oil in 10w30 mainly because I get it locally at Napa.

Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions so far. Changed the oil today with Penn grade 10w40 and a napa gold 1068. Took her out for a spin and man, is the engine running smooth.
However, the bushings are shot. I'm talking wheel side to side play of scary proportions. Was looking at the p-s-t super kits which call for measuring the sway bar. I used a tape measure and I'm pretty sure it's 7/8". Does this seem right? Most replacements are measuring 1" or more.

You did well,you don't get much big block B body Mopar for under five grand,and it runs and drives too. 400 engines are a great core engine for a low deck stroker engine,they can make a lot of power when built correctly.

That they can. If I go with a stroker, it'll probably be the cookie cutter 451, but that's a ways out. Plenty of other things to accomplish first.

Congrats! If you lived in the Northeast, I'd give you $4,300 for the drivetrain! Make your money back in one transaction! Let me know if the project feels overwhelming
. Until then, welcome to the forum!

Congrats and welcome! I've had several 73 roadrunners and satellites, my most recent one being a SSP that was a P code 4 speed..... like numerous others, I wish I'd kept it!! The ding dong I sold it to changed it from tahitian bronze metallic to black?!?!?!?! Go figure!
