This is why I come here. That’s awesome. I will be trying that out!

Yes you're thread has been very helpful. I have been reading through it from time to time. I've started this thread mainly for my own accountability. I am hoping that if I have a forum to post in and I have liked mind folks that may be interested in following along, I can have some help and...

When installing the flange studs, I put a red LocTite on the splines of each stud. Then used a nut and a stack of washers and a preumatic impact to pull the studs into place. I believe it is a 3/8"-24 nut. Take your time because if you just zshoop them all in real quick, you will pull the...

On the brake backing plates, the first thing I did with soak them in a Rubbermaid tub filled about 3 inches deep with Purple Power degreaser overnight. The next day I screwed them to a piece of plywood and pressure washed the ever livin' out of them. Once degreased, pressure washed, and blown...

I did some more work on the rear end, not a lot but some forward progress. By swapping out the open differential to the Sure Grip, this set in motion a few changes that have to be made to get everything back compatible. I started with the OE axle which came with tapered axle shafts. I wanted to...

I started on the ring side pushing the carrier toward the pinion until I got to .000” backlash. Then I started rolling the opposite adjuster in and it was pretty difficult just to get to .006” backlash and I was never able to achieve .007 or .008”. The manual I have said .006” is the minimum so...

Thank ya'll for your support. I have posted about other projects on here before, but this one I am most excited about. Before I get too far with rear axle assembly, I wanted to post a couple pictures of my wear pattern and see what ya'll thought. This was my first time to ever disassemble and...

I saw a post on FCBO about this car a while back and read through the post and I turned out to be the “local yokel” that purchased it. I will say that I absolutely will not put a Chevy engine in it ha! The car is in very good shape and is very complete. I don’t remember his name but I bought...

Ok yes please let me know.

If the rear drums are 10”, will you sell me the rear axle brake backing plates?

Your “*** dyno” Too funny! Thanks for the info!

Thank you very much. This is a great response, informative and to the point. Many times I’ve posed a question and no one answers or this post gets in a tail spin and goes off the rails. I am reading the “How to build big-inch mopar small block book” and it mentioned about upgrading the oil pump...

Good Morning everyone, I am building a 408 Stroker to drop in my 1962 Dodge 440. It’s a 1994 5.9 Magnum block. I know the 318 that was in it originally had a center sump oil pan. I have read where with the increased stroke, it can cause significant power losses using a stoke pan which causes...

For Sale: Hood, Trunk Lid, and Valance Panel for a 1963 Dodge 440 4dr sedan. These are all in very good shape. The hood has a small rust hole on the underside frame but could be easily repaired. If they don’t sell soon, I’m going to scrap them and I believe they can do somebody some good. They...

Ok. I am not in a real big hurry but I would like to buy one as soon as possible. I’ve called to a couple salvage yards, one quoted me $200 for this part! That’s the only two parts I need, the rest of the car is in great shape.

Do you have a trim piece that goes on the lip of the hood? Mine is missing. Also, do you have a good passenger side headlight bezel?

I dk if that hinge is DS or PS but maybe they interchange. The plating is worn but otherwise the cluster looks good.

This is what you’re looking for?

Tell the truth! I don’t understand why people waste their time (and mine/ours) to get on a forum, cut down and dissect ideas and don’t offer any meaningful help…if you don’t have anything constructive to offer - it’s easy - just don’t comment. If you can help - please do. If I had a 440 or 383...
