440/535” Hemi head conversion build

[rev.ronnie]

440, bored to 4.35”, stroked to 4.5” Stage V Hemi Head conversion. 535” and getting a dual throttle body EFI.


Video of the finished block. There are many more videos on similar subjects, and this block as well. Just sharing, no longer taking in work. I have my analogy backwards at the end.



Some may find it interesting, some may find me and my blue gloves annoying.

Cam tunnel index correction. Using a .010” over bearing set. Some of the MP Hemi blocks are so bad I do a 55mm cam core, as the OEM only come in .010” over.

Time for me to retire. I’m actually moving everything to an addition on my workshop building at the lake house this spring. Putting a Rheem 5 ton/130BTU HVAC on that area

Been doing some running around and at 9am, it was fairly comfortable running down the freeway with the vent open but not at 11. Closed the vent and turned on the AC. It's unreal that it still works half way decent in my 25 year old Dakota lol

Not sure if I know how. I changed a setting on sharing.

Used to live in Massachusetts and know about metal cancer! Gets damn hot here and for long periods of time plus living in the Houston area makes things worse with the high humidity. It was 80 here yesterday and feels like it might make that again today. This is right after being in the mid 40's for the high temps a few days ago

Thanks! There are more videos on this build on the FB page as well.
I’m nearing completion as I no longer do assembly here. (Very rare).
The shop I’m doing it for will take it from here. Will be an easy build, I’ve mocked up and clearanced everything.

I’m not sure.. I’m thinking some people are seeing them.
Look up "Cedar Machine Service" on Facebook and look under videos. Lots there.
