Did similar approach on my 440-6, stock appearance but with some attitude. Got a lot of parts from 440 Source: Stealth heads, billet chain set, valves, springs, locks, retainers, 1.5 ratio MP HD rockers/arms, ARP bolt kits, Clevite bearings. Manton pushrods. Lunati 60303 cam/lifter set. SRP flat...

Nice score! Just those 1yr only BB valve covers are probably worth what you paid. A few years back, paid $350 for a bare, cleaned and mag'd, 440. Thot that was a good deal. All B body verts were made in St Louie.

Great story on the cropduster, thx for video. Frieburger and Dulcich talking mopar, probably the only 2 guys I'd listen to for over an hour non-stop.

^I did enlarge the Stealth cavities to handle 3/8" pushrods but still not enough clearance to fish out the lifters. // Can anyone recommend a lifter manufacturer with high confidence?

440-6, Lunati voodoo cam/lifters, stealth heads, using Brad Penn oil/Wix 51515 since breakin (2011). Recently experienced cold startup rattle, suspect one or more lifter bleed down. Starts right up, runs good, pulls hard. The uncertain quality of todays lifters has kept me from pulling the...

Hoping someone has a spare decal kit for 70B body red cap battery. The Weskcar folks seem to be out of them.

Now that I'm well into the golden years, I've discovered DIY replacing standard Group 26/27 batteries (~30/50lbs) is a lower back wakeup call. The Odyssey Group 27 batteries (we use in our mopars) weigh nearly 70lbs. There's all manner of lifting tools which don't appear to reduce the lower back...

Several years back, removed 2 outboard carbs (440-6) during tuning adventure. Put everything back together, idling while I checked timing and made some idle adjustments. Walking back to shut off, noticed flames. Quickly turned off engine, grabbed H3R Halguard extinguisher from mount behind...

^What he said. This is the original top, 2nd/3rd bows were tacked to the top pads. I have heard that sometimes flat head screws were used.

Not to hijack, but have apparent lifter bleed down issue, cold startup clatter. 440-6, lunati 60303/lifters, SRP 10.5:1 forged pistons, steath heads, stock 1.5 rockers, Manton 3/8 pushrods. Tried slightly longer pushrods, + .030. Clatter went away for awhile but returned. Assuming 1 or more...

Alignment of the quarter glass with door glass was one of my biggest headaches on the 70RR vert. Driver side was tricky but eventually got it aligned. Pass side was complicated by a long ago collision that caused PO to replace door and quarter panel. Never could get pass glass to align, got...

If you don't find an electrical gremlin, assuming mechanical fuel pump, check the fuel pump rod for wear. Daughter's 69 Charger (recently rebuilt 440) behaved pretty much as you described in OP. Checked electrical, stock points, et al., everything seemed fine. Would startup and run for...

Not vintage, but a backsaver all the same. Kubota B26, owned for 20yrs, with backhoe thumb and QA forklift. <Carefully> maneuvering 14K lbs of boat/trailer.

Eastwood definitely. I'd also vote for this guy...

Rebuilt heater/AC box in daughters 69 Charger few years back. As noted above lots of potential leak sources incl heater core. Be careful sourcing repro heater core for AC box. First one I tried wasn't even close to proper fit. Ended up having orig rebuilt by Glen-ray. Had Glen-ray (good...
