Bought AR224 Timing Cover & AR281 Cam Button. $500 solution, but it was easy to measure cam end play. Large flat blade Screwdriver: wrap blade in duct tape. Screwdriver to push on lobe and move cam to rear. Plunger on dial indicator follows cam. Set O on dial indicator at rear cam position...

Understood, but I am here to get advice to help make that decision, from people who have done it before and are more knowledgeable and experienced than I. I am also reading magazine articles and watching You-Tube videos. A wise man acquires knowledge and takes good counsel in council with his...

AR224 $400.99 from Mancini is a reinforced timing chain cover and has a window/removable plate for setting end play AR281 $60.99 from Mancini is Torrington bearing cam button that is matched to this timing chain cover Although pricey, is this the best solution? Can I run stock alternator and...

Mine is made out of Nylon I believe it is same as Comp Cams 206. Summit link below. COMP Cams 206 COMP Cams Cam Buttons | Summit Racing I'll check out Superformance. thanks!

That's a great idea. My back cam plug is already installed with sealant. Nice way to avoid removing the cam plug. LOL. No you never told me cam buttons are a hassle. Ugh, but with the help of FBBO. I'll figure it out. I think this is the button that 440 Source sold me, but 440 Source has a...

Thanks. What seller/supplier do you suggest?

Yes, they are ARP bolts, ARP 244-1001. I didn't use the washers because the factory cover would not sit flush to the block with the washers installed. Without the washers, the timing cover is flush to the block, by observation. I have not measured clearances back of timing chain cover to the...

RIP, Bob. I last talked with Bob on the phone in April. He was inciteful and in depth, helping me work through an ignition and charging issue. I will miss you Bob. Ben

I have installed a hydraulic roller cam in a 440 that I am building. I have 440 Source cam button 200-1170, nylon. I have a stock timing cover that I primed with Rustoleum High Heat Gray, then baked. 440 source recommends endplay .005-010" (distance from cam to back of timing chain cover). Seems...

According to a Mopar Muscle Article 03-2005, F-Body Volare/Aspen 1976-1980 disc brake spindles work on 1972 and earlier B-Bodies. The differences in spindle geometry are small enough to be insignificant. You can keep 14 inch wheels by using 11 inch rotors. If you increase rotor size to 11.75...

Good idea for leak prevention. What gasket did you use? 440 source oil pan looks same as 854 in this Steve Dulcich article, Mopar Muscle Magazine 03-2005 Extra thick steel is a deal maker for me. Don't know of anyone else who offers that. 440 Source 564 oil pan Dulcich If I don't have enough...

Hi Dave. Thanks. Those dimensions are a big help! Does oil pan 854 match hemi/6-pack pan? 187 Pan: 1.01 front height, 32000 windage tray did not fit 854 Pan, match hemi 6-pack oil pan?

Thanks, I like the 564 pan with sheet metal .083" thick rather than .049" thick. Probably doesn't distort or bung as easily as an old OEM pan. Interesting that no one recommended a Milodon oil pan.

Source? I have owned this 32000 windage tray sitting new in box for 5 years. I want to be sure that I buy something that works with it. I do not want to buy and clean a used oil pan.

I am building a roller cam 440. I have a Milodon 32000 windage tray. I’ve not purchased an oil pan, oil pump, bronze gear roller cam oil pump driveshaft. I am putting the 440 in my 1966 Coronet, stock suspension height, stock suspension except 1” torsion bars, possibly upgraded but stock...
