Spoke to the shop directly and he agreed to refund $175 back to me so I can get it turned here in Fl. Didn’t give me any push back. I paid $350 for it plus $65 shipping.
I bought this crank from a machine shop on eBay. Listing said magnafuxed, hot tanked, superfinished, “ready to go”. Mains are std. and rods turned 0.010. I was surprised to see the lines and gouges on the mains. If polished (looks like it was) and spots not raised should I install crank as...
I need to order new main bearings for my ‘78 440. It’s a street car/car show car and not a race car. Should I use 1/2 or fully grooved bearings? I’ve seen lots of opinions online for each. Motortrend article recommended 1/2 grooved…?
Thanks

Just checked my cylinder bores and the are good (engine only had 4000 miles before wiping a lifter). I want to do a light hone to get the cross hatching back (got new pistons and rings) but not looking to bore them. What grit ball hone should I buy?

Rebuilding my ‘78 440 and made the following changes:
Swapping 452 heads to 440 source aluminum stealth heads.
Cam is stockish summit 6400
block hasn’t been decked.
Stock stroke
0.030 bore.
My kb 184 pistons with raised pad need to be either replaced or pad milled down.
If I buy new, what...
I’m a few weeks away from rebuilding my 440. I’ve purchased 440 source stealth heads, new stock pushrods and stock stamped rockers. I also bought the K6401 cam from summit racing. Will the lift of this cam allow me to keep these stock components (pushrods and rockers)?

It did not sit but it took way to long to first fire the engine. I had carb and ignition issues and I felt like it took way to many cranks before I fired it. I know it should fire up and rev quickly for 20-30 minutes. It may have lost all the pre lube by the time I got it cranked.
This was purchased from Rick Ehrenberg (mopar action mag) via eBay new. Works great. Only used it about 6 months and went msd ignition and don’t need it. It’s a hi rev up to 7500 rpm. Don’t know if that’s true as I drive a 440 :-). Comes with box, harness, and correct ballast.

I bought this new from advance auto in 2019 and used it for 6 months before switching to a higher amperage alt for fuel injection. Worked great when removed. Comes with brackets. Single hot rod pulley. Would make a good spare or daily.
