Motor Home 440

[markbob]

Hi mopar lovers
Recently purchased a 1970 Satellite Convertible and a motor home 440 to go into it
Any advice on engine mods, where to get good engine mounts for a stock K member, etc?
Thx
Mark

Cam and lifters are a start.. Thats a low compression 440 and the pistons will be well below deck height. There are a few cams that will help with that. One of which is a Summit K6401 camshaft kit from Summit. There are other alternatives out there I think Hughes Performance offers a camshaft as well.

Do you have a 318 car? Automatic?

With that info you will need a 727 transmission. The small block trans won't bolt up to the 440.

I'd go with new pistons to give higher compression.
Keith Black KB237 pistons give a compression increase for street motor. They're hypereutectic, which also helps on the street.
It the block is low mileage and you're trying to save $, you could hone out any ring ridge at top of cylinders and go with stock bore pistons.
