Just finished the dyno session on saturday before Christmas on the street motor for my 63 and could not be happier. 440 short block, 9.8 comp. KB pistons, 452 heads topped off with Rick Allison's A&A cross ram. Made an EVIL 666 HP and 603 TQ on pump gas from Shell. The kicker is it made 500 ft...
In another thread, I’ve asked for and received help on my car which turns out had a lifter failure. In this one I’m going to solicit some advice about changes I might make when it goes back together.
The car itself has great pieces- TCI 727, 3500 stall and Dana 60 with 3.91 gears, all of which...
I googled them too, they have a .010 shorter C/H and a 4cc larger valve relief than the equivalent Icon.. So according to Mahle his numbers are good and 440source shows the Icon about .3 higher... I'm thinking without taking measurements myself he's pretty close...
Personally I choose the...
Just using a factory cast iron 440 block. The idiot who built the car put 440-218 step headers on using 440Sourceheads where on TTIs website it specifically says which heads work with the 218s and 440Source is not one of them.
A friend convinced me to at least partially assemble my rough 67 GTX while still working on trying to do a decent job on my 68 Coronet. The thinking is if I can get the GTX to at least run and move under its own power it will be easier to sell if/when the time comes. The plus side is we can...
The motor has 440Sourceheads. You think this could be part of the problem? I have TTI headers but they need cleaning and Im trying to get away from headers.
...about doing anything to mine. I had thought about boring or stroking this engine but I believe a .030" bore will suffice. I am leaning towards a set of 440sourceheads to keep the stock appearance, same with an intake if it will all fit under the hood with the factory style air cleaner I have.
something was wrong with that carb or the floats were off or too much fuel pressure. if speedbird didn't get down to the problem he would have said the carb was junk but it was user error not the carb. am running 2 800 avs2 one on a 440 RT small cam stock exhaust 3.23 gears and on a 4400 lb with...
...again and am seeking advice on how to achieve what I seek.
Funny that a Hot 440 is mentioned because I have a 440 in the shop. The 440sourceheads were for that build. I was going to give that motor to my buddy who owns the shop for his 67 Dart.
All I want to do is get my car back in the...

...on the deck below each cylinder situated between the head bolts, none of my other blocks had these, is it one year only thing?, 440sourceheads are at machine shop so I don’t know if it has corresponding holes, pics on their website don’t show any. I don’t think they are necessary because so...

Hi All,
Just purchased a Proform 1050 cfm carb for my 496" (383 stroker) and I am curious if anyone has this carb on a similar engine as described below and if so where have you ended up with your jet sizes?
This engine is in my '69 Coronet resto-mod street cruiser. I doubt seriously it will...
Thanks Doug. I generally agree with what you posted and value your input as well as everyone else who has chimed in. The car is definitely more of a cruiser than a bruiser, but I don't mind throwing in some performance-minded upgrades if they make sense and increase the fun factor. That said, I...
...then step to 2 1/8. The number stamped on the inside of the right header flange is 440-218. Per TTIs website there is only on set of 2 x 2 1/8 headers that will fit straight plug 440sourceheads. You didn't have to do any block grinding or manipulate any header tubes for RobbMc starter...
Electronic Ignition. If I'm going on a budget, the factory magnetic distributor is a good starting point, and then re-curve it for your engine combination, then use an HEI module on a heat sink (Cheap and simple.) I will use a chrysler type ECU if I need to, but they can sometimes be a problem...
I saw their website, it's 1200 for both heads and then the hardware needs to be purchased too, I don't particularly want to switch to aluminum heads. I'm young but I like to keep it old school. This is gonna be my cruiser after all. I'd just rather stick to cast heads with a cast block.
