Not me, the GTX!
The motor that came with the car is basically an unknown quantity to me. I have a rebuild sheet that came with the car dated in 2000. Although, the only milage I can verify is from 2004 on, it is still 14 yrs old, with a deep knock down inside until it warms up.
So a member of our MOPAR club let it be known that he has a freshly built .040 over 440 that dynos at 472 hp and 500 lb/ft of torque available for sale..
It specs out as follows:
1969 440 block .040 over oil system mods suitable for 700 hp, hone mains,
ARP studs, billet rear main with Viton seal, broach & honed lifter bores
brass freeze plugs, blueprinted melling high volume oil pump, new oil pick
up, new 6 quart pan windage tray, new 5140 rods with 7/16 rod bolts(Hemi
size) KB hypereutectic pistons, speed pro rings file fit, new balancer, all
balanced
Heads & cam: Steel 906 fully ported heads, S/S 2:14 - 1:81 valves, triple
comp springs and retainers, comp hydraulic roller cam 230-236 @ .050, lift
541-537, howard hydraulic roller lifters, howard billet timing chain with
Torrington bearing and can button, Mnaton custom push rods, 440 source full
roller rockers 1.5 ratio with 4340 shafts all new parts except used heads
Ignition: billet petronics dist plug and play ( my 6AL MSD and distributor system will be used instead )
New Edelbrook RPM manifold with 780 Holly
New aluminum water pump & housing with 160 stat
I will be taking the "X" to his shop so they can do the swap as I don't have any space to do this kind of work. I will be detailing the engine compartment to get rid of the black goo that is all over the inside of the compartment. I will order my QQ-1 blue paint in rattle cans so I can do this myself while it is at his shop.
Hopefully, this will all be done in 2 weeks...
Pictures of progress will be in this thread as we go along..
