I forgot to mention I do have a trans cooler already and im not sure of the current stall rpm , I was just told it was a stock style converter. An older gentleman that has helped me sort some problems on my car before recommended a 3000 rpm stall. Im looking to get a better launch on the car...
I have a 67 Coronet and im looking to get higher stall converter but im not sure what rpm to get or what brands to look at or stay away from. Car is street driven but I plan on taking it to the strip.
Specs - 440 .30 over
- aluminum 440 source cylinder heads
- performer rpm intake, holley 750...
Thank you for all the education. I’m going to do some research and try to read up on all my choices before I make an order. I’m leaning towards the oem style as I don’t want to do a lot of adjustments, as I am learning all this as I go.
Thanks

Hello gentleman, I’m in the process of adding a new gear ratio to my 67 Coronet and I pulled the axles out and see that the axle bearings are junk. I found a set on summit racing and was wondering if anyone could tell me if these would work on my car . It has the 8 3/4 with the 741 case. This...
Yes every aftermarket sight I have found is limited to 3.55s and 3.73s for the 741 case. And I’m not going to be serious about racing my car, just looking to make my daily more interesting since we swapped the 318 for a 440. Looks like the 3.73 will be the way to go now, if I every get the...
I also have the lokar cable on mine as well as the 10 inch drums all around, I have no idea what the ratio is currently but I’m sure it is highway gears ( possibly 2.93s) , I have looked at a lot of sights and only found the 3.73 set available. The car will be mostly in town driver so I’m...
Hello, I have a 741 case in my 67 Coronet and I’m looking for a new ring and pinion gear . I have been looking for a 3.91 ( or is it 3.90? ) gear set and the closest I can find is a 3.73 . I was wondering if any manufacturer makes the 3.91 set for a 741 case or should I just go with the 3.73. I...
Going to go ahead and take the heads off and do some work to them to keep my current pushrods. Also going to order a set of shims for the rocker arms from 440 source. When I get it all buttoned up I'll try to get a good picture on here, it's my first big block and I'm pretty proud.
Thank you...
Thanks for all the advice guys..., I just talked to 440 source and they said it was pretty common. I'm sure it says it it my instructions but I don't have them on hand to verify. They also told me about a shim set they sell that should fix the rocker arm movement. My next question would be where...
Ok I will have to do some work on the heads then. This may seem like a stupid question but please bare with me I'm a novice , since I will be needing new head gaskets does it matter what brand or thickness I get? My machine shop original sold me felpro set with multiple engine gaskets and seals...
Yes I am using the 3/8 pushrods from 440 source, I guess I will have to remove the heads and do a little work to them. I am also using the rocker arm set up from them also and the rockers seem to slide a little along the rocker shaft , even after the spacers provided in the package were put it...
Hello, I am putting together a 440 with the "stealth aluminum cylinder heads" from 440 source, and the pushrods are rubbing near the top of the head. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem and if some grinding was needed to allow the pushrods to move. I am using the pushrods sold at 440...
I recently came across these pictures on the internet and think they are really cool.
Does anyone else have more pictures of these early mopars in similar races like this. (Especially with mud grips on the back)

I recently bought a spool for my 8 3/4 and I was wanting to try to install it by myself but I don't know much about differential work. (Other than removing center sections and axles) I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good video, website, or book that would have information on this...
Thanks for the advice guys, I'll try good ole brake cleaner and if that's doesn't work I might sandblast.
It's my first time dealing with headers so I was pretty lost.
Thanks- TheQuickster
So I just got my hooker headers in for my 440 and they are the ones with the black paint that burns off after some use. I want to paint them with high temp white paint and I was wondering if the white paint will be ruined by the paint that's made to burn off, do I need to run them then take off...
Ok so I just checked and yes it dog legs out on the pan and I measured my drive shaft , its roughly 52 center to center, looks like I don't need it shortend after all . Thank you Gentleman.
