Hi guys, Am installing engine back in the 73 RR and not sure if I have motor mounts in wrong sides or if it might be the k member is not exactly square with the car. when installing trans. tail piece is off of center by about 3 in. put a ratchet strap on it and was able to get it to it's correct...

zThought maybe you could pull one out and insert another until you got the one Teflon coated then reinstall without draining the coolant. but what do I know, that's why I asked

so I can use the bolts that were supplied by summit(which are only about 3/4 in. long) and just put Teflon paste on them? Do I have to drain part of the coolant to do this? Thanks

Hey guys, Trying to put this thing back together. can somebody tell me which header bolts from front to back on both sides need to be longer to extend into the water jacket. installed summit header bolts and she is already leaking without starting engine. Do all header bolts need to be replaced...

can you give me the measurement from the lip of the trunk up to the bottom of the letters in road runner? Thanks, steve

yeah, I have a set of those that were on the car. But the inspection opening on the big block parts car is much bigger. trying to figure how to upload a pic so you can see what I am talking about.. I have a pic up on my gallery if you don't mind taking a look. thanks

That's awesome, thanks. Let me ask you, did all roadrunners come with the roadrunner name plate under the bird? thanks again

You are correct, pretty much doesn't over heat badly till going down the road. I will check the lower rad hose and make sure it has a spring in it. I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Hopefully going to install engine this weekend and give it the breakin for the new cam. I should be able to tell if she...

could somebody tell me the exact placement measurement for the bird sticker on the rear deck lid on the right hand side? Thanks, want to make sure it goes on exactly the same place as done from the factory.. - - - Updated - - - sorry, goes on a 73 roadrunner

Sorry for not getting back sooner guys.... while engine was out I painted the block, installed .510 Hubert cam, adjustable timing chain and gears and headers. got everything put back together went to install motor and it won't fit with these trick flow headers from summit. I did not realize but...

Casting #'s on heads are 2843806-6, same casting # that are on the 440 heads. Port holes all look to be the same size. I do have a degree wheel, but a friend suggested to advance it 2 deg. on the adjustable timing gear. Pistons are flat top. I assume they are stock. did not check to see how far...

Hey folks, as some of you know I have my 73 RR still in resto mode and am working on doing some add on stuff to the 440 that I have. The casting #'s on the block are 2536430, I have taken a set of heads from a 383 I have and put them on because I may have had an overheating issue and wasn't...

I'm with you, I work outside in construction everyday and they seem to last the best of anything I have ever tried. Keep them kiwi'd and they will last you a long time..

I have the heads off of the motor and 2 rear water jacket ports on both sides of engine and on heads were plugged completely shut with a hard black residue. Pushed drill bit thru them and blockage was just on the ends of the holes. Hoping this is my problem, waiting for new gasket kit to come in...
