    The Meme not a Meme Thread Part DEUX

    On my first job as a motorcycle mechanic one new guy had an engine apart. He stopped working on it after it was almost finished. He had an extra bolt..... Boss came over and said I have been looking all day for that.(He put it there). Lesson be sure of yourself. Funny now.

    What broke first and caused the carnage?

    I have that loop. Expensive but easy to install. I have a built 512 and would never drive without one. My first 440-6 experience was in high school in the 70s. 71 charger. He broke the drive shaft with me in it. I will never for get that one. Next day pulled one in a junk yard. If you have to...

    Where are people buying their pushrods?

    I had issues with 3/8 on 440 Source heads on my 512 build. Went with Smith Brothers 5/16 no problem. Fast ship. Fit perfect. 440 source will sell a single 3/8 rod i used it for checking length and clearance. Helped with both.

    Over priced rebuild ?

    Here in NJ (Since moved to Florida) Finding a machine shop that would touch a MOPAR at any cost was tough. I was lucky and found a shop. The 4 month wait hurt more than the $$$. Built my 512 myself. Stealth kit and heads. Runs great. Now in Florida shops are half the price and there are a few...

    Fuel Flow

    Use spray carb cleaner. Spray a bunch in and it will prime after one or two times, Safer starting fluid. I use it on my 440-6. The crap fuel evaporates after a week or 2. Carb cleaner and it fires right up.

    Big Block Exhaust header gasket recommendations?

    Tried them all (almost) over the years. Remflex on Amazon. Buy 2 sets and be careful with them easy to break as said before.

    Stamped rocker arms vs. adjustable, hydraulic cam

    My 440 with stock rockers and a .509 punched several of them bent pushrods when that happened. On my 512 build I am using the Mancini rockers. Checked them at 1000 miles perfect. Remember that you will need custom pushrods another $200 or so. Stay away from the cheap rollers!!!!!

    After 5 years my babies in same place.

    Leaving NJ for Florida shipped purple car back to Florida where it came from. 5 years in NJ for full restoration. Joins my 1972 Roadrunner that I bought in 1987. It was in body shop there. 1970 is finished (never) on to the 72. My 2 fav colors. 1967 barracuda also need attention. NJ is finished!!!

    Xtreme Energy Hi-Lift .545" Vs Xtreme Energy Hi-Lift .564"

    I am running the .564 in a 512. It is a six pack. With 440 Source heads. It has plenty of power and a very nice sound at idle. Vacuum might be too low for power brakes. I use an electric pump so does no bother me. I really like the cam. I had a Mopar 509 cam in the 440 before I blew it it...

    Lifter noise

    Check the push rod cups in the stock rocker arms. I have punched out several over the years. Look fine until you look close. In the old days we called 440 push rods rev limiters. Bent a few dozen over the years. New 512 has roller rockers and Smith Bro. push rods!!!

    The under 5K paint job thread

    Try living in NJ. All the body shops want to paint Audis and BMWs for collision repairs and a quick 5 to 20 grand. No one will touch my purple beast, needs a few scratches touched up. The car was originally painted in FL. LOL. I bought it because the body and paint work was already finished...
