My notes also suggest the "90" K-frame was used on all SB/BB V-8 engines, not 440/426, meaning the 383, 340 & 318 applications. This is the "light duty" V8 K-frame for B-body in 1970.

If you're a vintage Mopar owner, few may be surprised. Go, go gadget vintage gadget.

Low oil pressure on a hot engine at idle is a pretty common indicator of wear, but nothing to be concerned about, unless you're expecting a freshly rebuilt engine. By 2000 RPM, I want to see it up there in the >60# area, but we can only work with what we have. I've got 440 HP that only hits...

The 440-7 looks strongly like 440 to me, and not 400, another indicator you've got a 1973 440. The -7 refers to the 7th version of the 440 casting, which makes sense for a "later model" 440. It's hard to say WHY the dipstick tube has a 2nd bend to it, but it's most likely man made. The 1970...

Regardless the capacity or style of oil pan, the dipstick measures how close one can come to the rotating crankshaft, or the upper level of the oil. Presuming the dipstick tube is correct for the 440, any 440 dipstick should function in this capacity. The casting number of the 1973-78 400ci is...

I know a guy in Orange County with a second gen. 426 (1964-1971) block he may be willing to sell. I'm pretty sure it's a pre-street Hemi 1964 block. It's a long block, valve covers to oil pan, but no intake or carbs. While fair, he won't be taking low-ball offers (under 5 figures). I'll...

are you sure that cover is aluminum? I kind of looks like cast iron, to me. but to answer your question, expect failing freeze plugs. if the car was stored wet, and there is the damage we see to the water pump housing, if that was caused by the wet, expect one or more freeze plugs to fail...

It's easier to get away with nighttime burn outs without that light ;)

the current (2025) Billy-Beer Clinton looks pretty different and much older than he did during his presidency. I think he should stay away from being photographed at this phase of his life. Poor (fellatio-is-not-sex) guy.

Holding the brakes on, while the engine is running, and moving the gear select from drive, to neutral, to reverse, and back again, a few times, can sometimes produce the sound, and if so, you may get a better idea where it comes from, without the added noise of moderate revving of the engine or...

It feels more like 40 when I'm installing one. ;)

Pinion snubber?

plating/filling with copper works great to hide pitting. but not for tight areas one cannot buff smooth.

if OER is sourcing sheet metal from AMD, place your order before they raise their prices as AMD did.

Tariffs :(

40 years of rodent urine can be quite corrosive. don't ask me how I know.

If the cash deposit amount is large enough, and the IRS becomes aware of it, AND if you're audited, only then, will you need to prove what your "profit" actually was and pay income tax on that. As of this writing in 2025, the Federal reporting threshold by banks is $10,000, where Verafin...

Currently at 68K, for this 383 Challenger. Gosh, 68K seems like it's value AFTER restoration, and a concourse one at that. But before? 30-40K IMO.

this is my guess, too. I resolved a similar leak in a 440-4 car by connecting and watching a vacuum gauge during normal driving, coasting and braking. I did not want to poke a hole through the firewall for the vacuum line (to read the gauge within the cabin) so I zip-tied the gauge to the...
