My first two cam failures were almost 20 years ago. Both were in my 440/495. We want to think that we did everything right to ensure long life but it is always possible that some fatal mistake was made without even knowing. One cam crapped out not long after break in, the second one lasted...

Ok im working

:drama:

Did the heads get reassembled with different retainers/locks than they were delivered with? The reason I ask is, the IH on them is usually pretty close to 1.875, and should actually have increased slightly after the seat work. Have you verified the height mic is correct? Just set it to 1.875...

I bought a new pair of 440 Source Stealth aluminum heads for my 383 build - 9.5:1 street build with HUG SEH1620BL-12 flat tappet hydraulic cam (specs below). Based on things I have read in this forum and elsewhere, I sent the heads to the machine shop to be checked and they reported that some of...

I'd keep the 69 K-frame. Has the better idler arm setup. Also chances are the 318 came with 3.23 gears unless it has an A code option.

I should clarify that. You get back the time blown from commuting and being gone. Now your repossessed time can be spent at home.

What’s the saying? Fifth time’s the charm?

As others have mentioned, cams for low compression engines require careful thought. They are already HP compromised due to the low CR. The 280 cam that PR mentioned would be as big as I would go.

I bought a 93 Dakota sport new. 3.9 magnum, 5 speed. I put about 145K on it, never any big repairs, and imo, just the right amount of electronic engine management to make it almost zero maintenance. I sold it to a friends kid like 8 years ago, and I’m pretty sure it’s still going. It was a 2wd...

I have a few of those machines. The distributor machine had some bad capacitors and some small parts, there is a company that does sell some parts for them. Paramount Distributor Company It works perfect now. I use it a few times a year. I got this one cheap because it is so large, but it...

Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to friends and family

The best car to restore is always the most original car you can find. Buying a shiny car or a previously restored car will almost never work out the way you think it will. Pictures are deceiving and a talented bodyman can “polish a turd” or “put lipstick on a pig”. Unless you or someone who...

Here is one that’s in pieces but looks like a very clean 4 speed shell… I know you said unmolested… 1965 Dodge other · 500

If one knew the piston deck clearance, the gasket thickness, and measured how far the edge of the intake valve was from the gasket surface of the head(straight edge and feeler gauges)…….. you could add those up and it would give you an idea if there’s any reason for concern. If you don’t know...

Also have the original end trim pieces if interested

@HALIFAXHOPS knows all about those machines.

I have this one that was the original one from my 69 charger. Minor dent in lower section

Torque converters too.
