I have a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II with a 440 engine. I am told the car was originally build for drag strip duty by a father and son. The son lost interest and the car was sold as is. The motor is a 440 and is quite healthy, while the transmission is a 727 with a cheater reverse valve body...

I have a 727 transmission behind a 440 in my 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II. It is leaking around the dip stick fill tube, where the tube plugs into the transmission. Actually, leak isn't a good description of the problem. It is squirting/spewing/spraying out and onto the headers, causing quite a...

O.K. I think I already know the answer, but I am hoping someone can provide me with a better way of replacing the dash speaker on my 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II. After a lot of bending and contortions of my body, arms and hands, I was able to get the old speaker out. Now I have to put the new...

Well, that is a trick question, we are talking a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II, however the engine is a 440. The car originally had a 318 in it. The engine is presently painted Hemi orange and the valley pan is painted orange as well. I had to pull the intake (Edelbrock 440) off and replace the...

What is the correct paint color for a 440, engine and, is the valley pan supposed to be painted the same color? I have seen the pan sometimes painted silver to match an Edelbrock intake.

O.K. I have a pretty basic question, at least I think it is basic. I have a 440 motor with a Bullet cam, Holley carb, Edelbrock intake and MSD electronic ignition. When I first start the car, it runs really rough, you have to keep revving the motor to keep it running. Once it warms up, it...
