Thanks Doug. I will do that

TCI converter. Can't say I'm gonna buy another. - - - Updated - - - I've heard everything from to much line pressure, cooler not big enough, too small of transmission lines, poor converter construction to bad engine to chassis ground. I'm at a loss myself. I guess I'm gonna fix the engine and...

Well bad news. We have determined that the torque converter under a load created to much pressure on the crankshaft and wiped out the thrust bearing. Anyone wanna buy a car? Lol

Ron it sounds like a low end knock but if u Rev it up it goes away. I pulled the valve cover off of it seems like the lifters are losing oil pressure because with #2 up on compression u can depress the lifter down with the rocker arm and push rod by hand about a 3/16's of an inch

Yes it's a hydraulic roller cam.

The first time it was started was on the dyno with Brad Penn high zinc break in oil.

I haven't checked anything yet cause I had to go to work. Gas is new and the timing is at 38*. I'm just looking for a direction. later today I was gonna pull the valve covers and see if any of the lifters have collapsed.

Oil psi is between 70 and 75 psi both at an idle and with a little rpm to it. That's a cold start.

Ok guys. I got my engine put together and ran on the dyno. It made decent numbers. 520hp and 530 ftlbs torque at 4400. I have a comp roller thumper cam and all the necessary valve train components per comp and my engine builder ( who I would recommend to anyone building a mopar or any engine)...

I actually laid a rag on top of the air cleaner and put a was of grease on it and shut the hood. Opened it back up and there was no grease on the hood. I bought new Schumacher poly engine mounts and the motor hardly moves so I think I'm okay I hope. That's not to say when they get worn out a...

I don't know how you corrected the photos but thank you! The garage had to be big enough for my truck to fit in but when I had car parts scattered every where it was tough to get it on too! Never the less we got it done! It only took most of my adult life. I started collecting parts when I was...

Finally got my fenders and hood on! I was so happy that I didn't have to cut my hood braces for the crossram to fit. Friday she gets exhaust then an alignment. Then I just have to wait for decent weather! - - - Updated - - - Not sure why these pics uploaded sideways put hopefully you can still...

Thanks. I just have the engine setting there. Nothing is bolted in tight. I wasn't sure if it was better to go in from the bottom or top. I hate to scratch anything especially the tti headers. I know alot of people assemble everything on the K frame then lower the car over top but I wasn't sure...

Can anyone tell me the best way to install headers on the max wedge. Looking to see if there is a simple way that someone has done before or if it just plain stinks no matter what way you do it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks alot guys I really appreciate it. Would anyone have a good picture of the brace and where it is cut at????
