Dang, sorry to hear about the bad luck with the EFI kits!!!! I have been day dreaming about a Holley or FI tech EFI, but now I am having 2nd thoughts!!! I have read a lot of people (not just Mopars) have had issues with the FI TECH working correctly on duel plane intakes. And having to add a...

I have read the 213 are similar to the 346, and 452 with some extra coolant passages. And that and some later 452's also have the same passages. But ports are the same. I also read the 71-72 346's have slightly smaller combustion chambers, at 79cc vs the 73 version at 81.5cc, but that must be...

The plugs look to come out straight,(on both heads on the 440) they take a 5/8 socket, and they only have a very small recess around the hole for the plug to thread into the head, when compaired to a set of "906" heads. The 906 heads have a much larger, and lightly deeper recess. I would guess...

If one head was replaced,and that very well could be, I would guess it would have been the 346 one, as the 213 is a "motorhome " head, and it came from a motor home, LOL! I also would guess it was done early in its life, maybe under warranty, and by a dealer, that would account for the valve...

Most of the time, I figured the sludge in the engine as 1/2 from miles and maintenance, a half from the oil spending years upon years in the engine. Most of the cars I get have spent years, (10 or more ) sitting out behind a house, or in the yard. Just what I had kinda thought. I think all...

Ok so both heads currently have what look to be regular spark plugs, with out the washer. Currently in it are AC R43TS plugs. Both heads have blue valve springs, with an inner damper spring located on all exhaust valves. the 213 head has a 0653, or 0633, very hard to tell, the 346 head has 0063...

On the 3751213 head it looks like 0653 is the only other number I saw, I will have to recheck and I did not write down the one on the 346 head, if that is the casting date This is all just for fun, its not like I am gonna restore the motor home, also it looks like the part of the engine block...

It is from the M-series, The engine looks as if the valley tray has never been off, I say this due to the paint on the heads of the bolts are not cracked, or disturbed in any way(on valley tray hold downs), and the "346" head has a white paint dab at the rear that goes down the head to the...

Thanks, for the info, my question was geared more toward the engine having two different casting# heads on it(213 and 346). In my life I have only owned a hand full of big blocks,(two 383's/three 400's and five 440's) and they have all, except this 440, had cylinder heads that matched each other...

I pulled the 1973 440 and trans from my winnebago, and got it on an engine stand. I started to check #'s just to take inventory of what I have. The 727 came back as a 1973 440 HD truck trans.(has the long tail shaft, and takes regular drive shaft) The 440 ID pad reads: J440 T (then the maltese...

GREAT JOB!!!!

The Haynes books are ok, much better then no book at all, but in the Haynes manuals under transmission section, besides the REMOVAL and INSTALL, it says due to the complexity blah blah blah, leave it alone, and we aint telling you $#!t The Chiltons books have rebuild procedure for like 8...

I was looking though my collection of vintage Chilton's repair manuals, some are from my grand pa, some from my father in-law, and some I have picked up over the years. And in one of them, printed in 1970, it's cover states: contains info for 1963 to 1970 American cars, PLUS Volkswagon.(plus...

I wonder if there is any type of oil additive that would help, prevent this issue? My Grandpop, used to SWEAR by adding a bottle of that STP oil treatment, at every oil change. He claims he had an oil pump take a **** on an OLDSMOBILE engine, and was able to baby it home 20+ miles because of...

Big debate on this, one camp says its lack of oil flow, other side claims it is just shitty roller/ lifters. No matter who is correct, THIS SUCKS!!!! My wife has a 2016 Charger R/T, I guess we better get a factory 6.4 cam and hell cat lifters before its too late!!!!!! Good luck!!!
