Ok. I bought a new 489 case with 3.73 gears and a Detroit locker. I also added a billet pinion Yoke in 1350. My old unit was a 1310. I didn’t have a local shop here that could make me a new full 1350 shaft. Problem I’m having is a vibration that’s new. I’ve never used this kind of joint before...

I’m new to mopar big blocks. Back in the day I built quite a few SBC 400s. Typical 30 over flat tops, 64cc iron world products heads. With my home port jobs they would hit from 280 to 300 depending on how extensive the customer wanted to pay for. After trying a lot of cams over the years I...

Took the dodge to the local Cat scale yesterday. With an empty trunk and running on fumes. She came up at 3430 even. With the tank topped off (20 gals) and my tool bag in the trunk it was 3600. It’s a two door Polara hard top. I. Only have a few more things to do then it’s off to my first...

Had my caltracs up and running for almost a year now with no issue. 63 Polara. 440/10.5 to1/Isky 292 mega cam/CNC stealths/RPM air gap/750 Holley DP/Dougs452 headers and all MSD. 727 RMVB 3000 stall. 275/60/15 tires. Everything worked ok till I replaced the 2.93 open with a 3.73 Detroit setup...

Just got my 63 440/TQ Polara back after switching pumpkins. I thought I was close to making some passes but nope. First rolling hit and the tires lit up,the limiter hit6k, and the axle started bouncing. All faster than I could shift. I could feel the Caltracs loading and unloading. I’m thinking...

Well it showed up on the day they promised and right on budget. Other than some good cleaning it appears to be all new. 1400 to my door. Now to have it installed.

Well I just pulled the trigger on a diff for my 63 dodge. I have a non taper 8 3/4 housing. I ordered a new 489 case with 3.73 gears and a Detroit locker. Includes the good gasket and 1350 pinion drive. 3 week delivery. Slowly but surely it’s making progress.

I’ve heard that someone is making panels again. I’ve got room to store them now but don’t know who it was stamping them out now. I’m gonna need all 5 panels to make it solid.

The PO didn’t remember what bolts his builder used. All I have is this one picture when my guy checked some bearings and confirmed it was balanced. This is an older build. Maybe 8 to 10 years ago. It spins 5500 easily and is smooth as glass. Thanks guys. Bob.

I’m tired of fighting Californias government. I’m packing the family and moving to where my daddys family lives. Just east of Asheville. Got both houses up for sale. I’m taking my 63 dodge with me and it looks like there are way more tracks there than here. Who has a favorite track there? My...

So I just got my tach working. 80mph at 3000rpm with 28 tall tires. Converter flashes to 2800 in 3rd. Figure a 6% slip. Figures closest to a 2.93. It was a factory 318 auto. No wonder it’s a freeway flyer. Since I have a small pinion carrier I will upgrade to a large pinion with a posi or...

So my 63 has a push button trans. Yet it also has a normal front u joint. Not the special one a 63 uses. I asked my trans builder what it would take to change from a RMVB push button to a normal floor shift. He said it can’t. Something about the case is different. The builder is Art Carr so I’m...

My 63 Polara has a 440 with a RPM intake. The PO had a. Wing nut holding the air cleaner on which dimpled the hood. I want to add a spacer under the carb for a small nitrous hit. And cold air. Problem is all the accepted scoops are for cross rams. I see nothing for single carbs our tunnel...

My car is a 63 polara with a 440. CNC Stealth heads, Isky 292 mega cam, Speed Pro 2355 flat tops, Doug’s D452 headers, MSD 6al and billet dist, Ed RPM intake with a 750 Double pumper. A Built 727 with Manual Valve body and a 3k converter. Just some 275/60/15 street tires. Mostly street but a few...

The mod suggested that I close my thread and repost it as a for sale instead. Sooo I have a great set of 452 heads complete, a Comp cam 270 hydraulic with lifters but they got mixed up. Billet timing chain. A stock vac advance dist with A petronix module, it needs a vac can, and a stock starter...

I bought my 63 polara with a running 440. I didn’t like the way it ran so I put CNC Stealths, a Isky 292 cam and a full MSD ignition. When the shop pulled it down they said it looked like new. The PO told me it had 500 miles on it. I put 500 miles on it. I don’t want to ship this stuff. The...

I got the old cam out of the 440. The new Isky 292 runs great. Fixed my problems. I'm trying to figure out what the cam that came out of it is. Just want to see if it's something somebody on the forum might use. Thanks Bob

Just a heads up. I bought a set of Doug's D-452 coated headers for my 63 Polara. It has a 440 with Stealth heads, power steering and a 727. Only thing we did was to put on a Powermaster Mini starter. Fitment was perfect. It needed no dents or scratched up finish to go in. Had the heads off and...

It's in the shop and they pulled the pan to check the bearings. it was low on oil but I checked it when I bought it. I only have about 500 miles on it. Oil pressure was always about 80 above 1500 rpm and never less than 40 at a guess 750 hot idle. Piston tops look clean. This was a motorhome...

She's my first 440 and my retirement car. It is mostly for cruise nights and once in a while a blast down our local 1/8th mile strip. 1963 Polara H/t No Power acc. I believe it is a 3.23 in the 8 3/4 open. Block is a .030 76 motor home block with an uncut deck. Forged 2355 Flat tops with valve...
