    “Video” Another Possible Hydraulic Roller Lifter Failure?

    I have Morel hydraulic lifters in my 440 and I'm on my 3rd year with no problems at all. I pull the valve covers every spring and check things over. I run nothing but 5W30 or 10W30 oil. Morel recommends nothing heavier than 10W30 oil and 99% of the time I run Valvoline 10W30 VR1 oil even though...

    Looking for opinions on what to do (RV 440 Build Options)

    Background: 1973 Plymouth Satellite, originally a 318/904 car, big block swapped last year with an RV 440/727 Auto. Intended for street driving, will never see the track. Been chasing improvements over the last 12 months, so far: 78 RV Motor, RV had 80k miles. Appears to have at least one...

    Rebuilding a 400.

    400's are great. I would be tempted to build a stock stroke 400 with high compression pistons but it sounds like your crank needs machining. In that case I would be tempted to do a 440 source stroker kit (likely a 451 kit). Then as that blows the budget a bit I wouldn't be against bolting on the...

    Machine Shop Costs, 440 Build

    ...Install cam bearings and freeze plugs $750 total It makes no sense to dump a bunch of money into old, junk heads. Paint a set of 440 Source heads orange and upgrade springs and retainers if needed. Same goes with connecting rods. Spend a few bucks more and buy some new ones. That piece of...

    73 Charger return of Ruby…

    Well, I finally have some progress on my car. Originally I purchased this with a 383 and a sketchy paint job. There are pics here in the forum(lost all my pics from a phone/cloud debacle) Anywho, bought a 1977 440 complete engine from a member here. Sent it off to Steve Nicoll Racing for a...

    New distributor

    Was given an Engine Works 4RTR-383 distributor. (The copy of the MSD 8386 RRR ) Put it in my low deck stroker, set it to 30 total advance. On a 544/541 summit hydraulic roller cam with 440 source heads. When I step on it I get a steady backfire out the exhaust. What are your thoughts?

    71 Coronet Wagon

    I was planning to put the 440 in but before I got to it, I found a 400/440 crank engine for less than 440 source charges for the rotating assembly, which would fit under the hood with no issues. This was .040 over, 440 source crank, icon pistons and an unknown cam, Performer RPM intake and stock...

    Summit Racing brand Gas Ported Piston Rings?

    Even the Moly rings are expensive now. Total Seal Moly rings from 440 Source are $175, Summit Racing is almost the same price ($164) Hastings Moly rings are $148. This was looking at the 4.375" bore 1/6x1/6x3/16" rings. For expensive, look at doing cylinder heads with Beryllium Copper valve...

    Your thoughts?

    Seems line they all fit well. First ever for my „building“ an engine. The guy from the machine shop also said that it should be okay, not the best solution but it should work.

    Plug Gap

    Running NGK BKR5EIX-11 plugs in a 440 with 440 source heads, hydraulic roller cam, Edelbrock performer RPM intake AVS2 carb and Mopar distributor and a FBO box and stock exhaust manifolds in a 4 speed car. Plugs out of the box are gapped at .040, run them like that or re gap to .035

    440 Source heads ??

    I just got a set of the stealth heads from 440 Source. Do the factory pushrods work with these heads. And will i need to open the pushrod bore as I have the 3/8 pushrods. It's a stock 440+6.

    What Octane Level should I need for 10.5 to 1 Compression?

    Why on Earth would you replace trick flow heads with iron or source? Just change the cam.

    All else being equal, what power gains could be expected from Trick Flow 240s over Edelbrock heads on a 500 cube mill ?

    Thats the same cam I have in the Convertible 505" stroked 440. 440 source 4.25" stroker kit with the 17cc dished pistons and stealth heads (minor bowl and port clean up with valve job, flowed a bit over 290 cfm) with HS 1.6:1 rockers. I used the ISKY 8005A valve springs and Comp 748-16...

    Rebuilding a 400.

    ...over which let me use 440 pistons.. Gave me a huge selection and allowed me to raise my compression ratio from the basement. Put on 440 source heads which increased flow and lightened the front of the car by a good 50 lbs. I used a Performer rpm intake to help flow and lightened the front...

    Head Gasket Cylinder Overhang

    I haven't even checked the gaskets to the head! I've got a 1970 440 block .060 over and 440 source stealth heads.

    451 or 496 Stroker?

    I have a 496" stroker in my '69 Coronet using the 383 block and a 440 Source kit with lightened crank and their CNC ported heads. It's bolted up to a built 727 with a 3,000 stall converter and 3.54 gear. Believe me, it's all this old man can handle on the street.

    Collapsible 13/16" or 5/8" spark plug socket. Wedge guys with headers.

    The 440 stroker with 440 source heads, the #4 (or #6) plug is really close to the inner fender. I got the pricy (I think $35-$40 several years ago) Snap-On flank drive low profile spark plug socket to get that plug in and out. I see a few other brands making something like it for about 1/2 the...

    Trick flow 240 rabbit hole

    ...then clean out when driving. And I also do some race stuff 700 to 800 HP mopar and chevy engines as well. Nothing wrong with the 440 source heads but they basically flow like a hand ported 906 head, and you get some improvement from the reduction in weight and a smaller combustion chamber...

    My old 64

    I see my old man's "pwdave" post on here and he had said the engine was a 509 cubic inch stroker. I know it has eddy heads and a 440 source kit in it but I'm curious. What is the bore and stroke of this thing? Sorry if I sound ignorant.
