Out for a quiet little drive around Dublin Ireland I was spotted cruising along one of out main highways around the city. I have to say I was delighted to be sent a video. Originally a 318 Mod Top now sporting a 440 bored .030 and a whiplash cam running open headers. Still holding on to the 8...

Hey everyone. I'm having major issues with coils. I'm running/was running the MSD Blaster High Vibration 8222 coil. I did about 600 miles on one coil and it bit the dust so I replaced it with another the very same and it only lasted 200 miles before it started to cause running issues and...

As the title says I'm swapping my full rotating assembly including cam from one 440 that developed a crack in a water jacket into a freshly bored block. I have my new motor on a stand and my old motor beside it and I'm transferring most stuff over excluding piston rings and bearings. My question...

So I've been working away on my pride and joy for the last few years with some major help from this forum. The 69 satellite mod top converted from a little 318 to the almighty 440 has hit the road and all I can say is wow. A few minor issues with stumble off idle but I should hopefully have that...

So my 440 started to suffer with a misfire after it gets hot at cruising speed. Picked the car up today and it started first tip of the key. Took it for a drive and it pulled like a train all the way up to 95mph. The throttle response is great but after a drive on the interstate at 70mph for...

Hey everyone. I have finally got my 440 running and it sure does sound mean with the whiplash cam. I installed the driveshaft today and tried driving the car out of my garage. It was very slow at moving forward or backwards. It almost felt as if the brakes were engaged. I tried shifting through...

So got my exhaust made up. Not sure if you could call it an exhaust but it will direct heat away from the bottom of the car. Hearing protection may be required on long drives

Hey folks. I always seem to just come hee with issues. Well I finally got my 727 and 440 bolted together. I picked up a slightly used 3000 stall converter off a buddy. He also gave me a .090 spacer that was used on his motor. The converter slots in nicely to the crank but the converter pilot...

Hey everyone. I've installed the whiplash cam in my motor and used the hughes 5001 lifters and stock rockers. I was checking pushrod lengths and my rods vary in length. The shortest is 9.228 and longest is 9.267. I need to achieve .080 to .095 preload but unfortunately I can't see it being as...

So im building up my 440 and I have a few questions regarding piston orientation. I'm using sealed power l2266f30. What I noticed is the wrist pin is offset in the piston so that would indicate that the drivers side bank arrow would face forward while the passengers side would face rear to keep...

Hey everyone. I've been struggling to do work on my car over the last few years due to covid and travel restrictions that were in place over the last 2 years. This project started as an engine swap from a 318 to a 440 but progressed into a cutting/welding/painting project. I cleaned years of old...

hey guys and gals. Had a little mishap with the motor. Dropped a piston and cracked a piece off a skirt so I'm wondering if anyone has a standard bore 1966 440 piston that they wouldn't mind getting rid of. If it includes the rod that's even better as due to this coronavirus crap its hard to get...

I have been left pulling out my hair over the last week. I normally deal with summit or rock auto but most recently I bought from JEGS through their eBay page. While I am waiting for a few parts to be done for my new engine build I decided to give my satellite a much needed bit of tlc in the...

Hey guys and gals. I'm putting a 440 motor together that I got from a guy. Gave it a general overhaul and now I'm looking for a cam. I wanted to get a whiplash cam but the compression ratio is too high for it. The pistons are .005 in the hole. They are also flat top. The heads are 516 with 84cc...

hey guys. So my car is currently a 318 car with a 904 and an 8.25 rear. The motor is cracked so I found a donor c body that will give its heart to make my satellite live on. It’s a 66 New Yorker and it’s a low mile car. Only 48k on the car but it sat outside all of its life so it has rotted...

Like the headline says it's slipping from 2nd to 3rd. I was out for a spin this weekend a d I noticed the slip was ever so slight at very high revs but if I'm very light on the throttle it just does not want to shift up. I tried shifting manually and it's also the same. The trans was slightly...

So I am travelling that road many others have done before and changing from 10" drums on the front to the Wilwood 140-11020-DR. I'm sick and tired of not knowing if the car is going to stop or not. I'm keeping the rear drums as they are fully rebuilt. My question is what is the best option for...

Hey guys and gals. I'm a fresh fish here to the forum. I have a 1969 plymouth satellite mod top with a 318 here in Ireland. I have owned it for the last year after buying it from a friend that purchased it form another friend of mine that imported the car back in 2006 from kentucky.
