My 74 Charger SE. Pretty rare 400 big block from factory.

I found some pretty quickly at performancetireplus.com. Cancelled the three month wait ones at Summit. Running 15x7 on front and 15x8 on back with Coopers. Big improvement over the stock 14 inch wheels. I have those for sale on FB marketplace.

Yes, I've looked. Coker was even worse. I found some on eBay that are made by Legendary Wheel. They have 15x8 ready to ship it appears, just haven't heard of these wheels before.

So I've already bought my 15x7 wheel vintiques magnum 500 wheels from Jegs for the front of my 1974 Charger. I've looked everywhere for 15x8's, and being told October before I could get them. I've noticed 15x6 wheels are available though. Has anyone ran a 15x6 on the front and a 15x7 on the...

That ended up fixing it. Shaft was fine, and the pump spun just fine too, so no lock up. We think it may have been the pressure relief valve stuck. It was the stock pump I believe, still had the mopar part number stamped on it. After 47 years it was time to replace it. Went ahead and...

I'll take some of your oil pressure. Right now my 400 has zero oil pressure. Reason unknown at the moment. I know from my casting number my 400 is from a 76-78 car. It's in my 74 SE that was factory 400. How can I pin down more info on this motor? I would love to know the exact year and...

Also, since I hadn't mentioned this before, my casting number indicates a 400 block from 76-78. I don't think there is much difference between that 400 and one from a 74 car, but wanted to get others feedback that know much more than I do about that.

Sounds great. I actually have a 73 Rivi with that monster 455. 51k original miles and original paint. Sadly it may hit the sell block if I need funds to get the charger fixed. Fingers crossed for an inexpensive fix.

Thanks. Sounds like a great combo and lots of power. Why the TF240? If buying a kit from 440 source, the 470 has 6.535 rods, whereas the 451 has 6.76 rods. Not sure if they would ship the 6.76 in the 470 kit or not.

Yes, 1 7/8. I was going to get the 1 3/4, but they were backordered many weeks and the others were on the shelf, so done. And while I appreciate all the suggestions I'm not wanting to change the gears again, and a 451 or 470 will be plenty of fun. The motor is pretty stock internally now but...

Great idea, I went ahead and picked up a Wix filter just in case we tear the one on the engine apart to inspect.

This is a really old thread, but my cart comes up to $1890 with the magnum 500 bulls eye caps and lug nuts included. I'll be curious to see if they can get me down close to $1500 with the mounting and all. If so count me in!

Thanks for the opinions. I have the limited slip diff, installed that when I went to 3.23 from stock gears. Seems if I just moved to some 15 inch wheels I would have many tire options at 28 inch diameter.

New gauge, but yes will be putting another one on it to make sure. Excessive knocking heard, like you would expect from low oil level or no pressure. Thanks.

Agree, at this point going at it like it's an intermediate shaft failure or pump failure. But great to get educated on the plan B if the motor is shot.

Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking more for the rebuilt motor if that's what I end up doing when I got the high volume. Would a regular volume pump feed the stroker just fine? I put a HV in a 318 and didn't have issues, but never thought about a hardened drive shaft.

Yes, have a Melling high volume pump coming tomorrow, and appointment to do just that on Wednesday. That could be all this is, but I know it usually isn't. Pumps don't create oil pressure, and I have none!

Sorry, never built an engine and not always up on the lingo. 3.91 or 4.15? At first I thought gear ratio but there wasn't a 4.15. I dealt with 440 source before when I put CVF racing brackets on the car. I had to change out the water pump. They were very helpful, quality parts and good...

I was going to wait till the final diagnosis, but was going to ask about what you guys would recommend for tires and if the 3.23 gears with the Dr Diff power-lok would be sufficient. I almost went 3.55 when I did the gear change, and I'm wondering with bigger tires if 3.23 is enough. I like the...

I'll never buy from them again. Sold me plug wires that didn't fit, then told me they knew they wouldn't fit they had just forgot to change the website, then only offered me 10% off another set so I could have enough fitting wires. I sent them all back and went with Firecore.
