...the incorrect dash wiring harness. So I ordered the correct one from M&H and have most of the dash reconnected. However, I noticed that the oil and temp seem to be flipped. While the engine is running, the "temp" creeps up to about where 80 PSI would be on the oil gauge and when I kill the...
....and don't forget to either drain the gear oil or plug the hole where the driveshaft yoke goes in. Depending on how much you tilt it you could end up with a large gear oil leak :lol:
...out the air intake. I removed the air ducting, which was quite hot, and determined it was steam coming up through the crankcase vent. Checked the oil lipstick and, sure enough, chocolate milk.
Got it towed home and drained the oil. Got a couple quarts of coolant followed by more chocolate...
FREE 3 oil level indicators (oil dip Sticks) 2 sticks measure 26 1/2 inches from the top of the handle to the bottom of the stick and one measures 24 1/2 inches from the top of the handle to the bottom of the stick. I believe they came from Mopar big block 383-440 engines. Please give them a...
I have purchased 3 of the repro oil pressure sensors and none are even close to being accurate.
Anyone have a new or used OEM sensor that works or where I could purchase one ?

And even then I have to use a piece of cardboard to channel the oil away from the frame so the oil doesn't drip for several...
Does anyone have any experience with Source's deep oil pan for 727?
Heavy Duty Cast Aluminum Deep Trans Pan
and
Torqueflight 727 - 1-1/4" filter extention kit
Heads up! Looked at the new products listed on the 440 source website and bought the (new to me) thicker .083"
6 quart oil pan =7quarts with filter. Anyone else buy one? Or is this oil pan old news ?
I would use the Driven BR 40 (10w-40) break-in oil. the BR 30 would be OK too, just might have lower hot oil pressure at idle. Not sure what the engine builder gave you, maybe MOA (Motor Oil Additive?) that would be used with a conventional motor oil. Don't use any additional additives with a...
Engine masters did a show on oil viscosity and found no difference in power from zero weight to 50 weight oil, so run the thickest oil you can get away with in your climate.
Scoured the forum and ran across similar postings about aftermarket oil pans not clearing the K member for 73 and up big block.
I have a 440 73 Charger and tried two different oil pans with no luck. Tried another big block k member and motor (400 setup) - same issue.
