Looking for a set of finned valve covers for my 440. Don't got be perfect I don't mind restoring/sharpening them up, as long as they are usable. M/T, No Name/Plain, Eddy's, Holley, Mopar Performance etc. Open to all. Thanks!
I really like seeing wagons, I'd love to get one of those myself someday. I think one would look great sitting beside what I've got now.
I hope you have a smooth journey restoring this one!
Get a compression tester out and remove #1 plug and screw the tester in. Spin the engine over by hand till the needle bounces. From there take the tester out get a straw or something long in a turn the engine till it's a tdc. You should also be able to see the piston going up via the sparkplug...
First I'd say before anything is checking Oil pressure. May have been the how rough it was but 40 is on the low side for them as far as I know.
Get a hex rod and if positions aren't marked on the balancer spin the engine over by hand a little at a time till oil starts coming out of sides...
A fellow I know offered to sell them to me for my engine. My engine is a std bore with perfect cylinder bores no rig rim no nothing. it was a less then 5g miles motorhome engine. Those are std pistons so they would/should go in without any problems. Just balancing the Crank to them. I was...
These are 6 pack pistons, they've got the same specs as the l2355's and the valve reliefs. Reading up on knurling I'd assume they're also older pistons that someone put on some new rods too. I was curious/directed to them because the pistons in my 440 are the low com .130 in the hole motorhome ones.
Thank you I didn't think I should use them. I'm building a mild street 440 that I'd like to enjoy on the road but it's got the .130 in the hole pistons which made me curious about these. The extra point on compression isn't worth the risk. From these at least. Thank you again for the insight and...
Hello everyone, Anyone know why these pistons have this texture on the sides and what they were for? They are on new 440 source forged rods and I was told they'd be fine to put in my engine but I've never seen pistons with this. I've always thought they were suppose to be smooth, all 8 have...
I've got a pair of stock 452's off of a '76 440 with the rockers, springs and valves. Rockers and Valves move freely. I'm in N.C. so shipping might be a little gruesome though.
Hello and good day. I'm looking to find a car tail shaft for my 76 RV 727 transmission with output shaft, governor. Basically what's needed to convert the flange to a slip on yoke.
I'd love to pickup a long tail but would take a shorty as well. Or if what I've been reading is right a 95 back...
Hello and good day everyone. Listed is a freshly rebuilt 440 finished last week, not fired as of yet 9/19/20. It still needs a couple things to be fully ready to fire, Carb is the biggest thing the rest is some smaller stuff. Had intentions for dropping it in the Dodge Sierra behind it but with...
