    Saginaw pump pulley installation?

    I have the Borgeson steering box kit from Bergman’s and I installed the pulley on the pump but the shaft has some play when pulling and pushing. Wondering if that is normal or if it needs to be pushed on further to remove the play?

    Has anyone seen this while installing a big block in place of a small block?

    I’m installing my engine and I’m having problems with bolt alignment. New 440 Source mounts and brackets. I had the same problem last summer when I tried installing it with factory original brackets and the junk mounts from Summit, I believe they were Anchor brand but had the same issue with the...

    Boris7k’s ‘69 Coronet project.

    I’ve been meaning to get a thread started for this for a while and I can’t guarantee it will stay current at this point but here goes. In 2021 I finally found a car after years of planning and searching. Here it is, first day at it’s new home. It was kind of drivable, but it needed some work. It...

    Rod Cap torque for 440 Source "factory replacement" rods?

    I seem to have misplaced the instructions that came with a set of connecting rods. Does anybody know what the torque spec is for the cap bolts? I would imagine they would be the same as the H-beam rods also.

    Crankshaft end play tight?

    I'm assembling a 440 and after installing and torquing the main caps I have practically 0 thrust when measuring at crank snout. I used Driven assembly lube on journals and bearings with oil on backside of the bearings and the main saddles and caps, could this cause tighter measurements? Should I...

    Piston ring filers?

    Anyone have recommendations for a decent yet cheap piston ring filer? Also looking for a piston ring squaring tool. I am beginning to build a 440 and first obstacle is the ring end gap, top ring is good and the second ring is tight, like .010 or more. Also, the packaging says .010 or greater for...

    What size E clip for Kickdown Shaft?

    When I disassembled my transmission there wasn't a washer or E clip on the kickdown shaft, I thought i could find one at any hardware store but no luck so far. I have what I believe is a 5/16 but it's too small, looking for a 3/8 I think.

    Cam Bearing Journal Issues

    I had my block machined about a year ago and had cam bearings installed at that time. I started assembling it last month and discovered the cam is too tight, will not go into the journals. The bearings are Dura-Bond High Performance Coated Bearings PDP-17T, I tried the cutter cam idea since they...

    Looking for 727 rebuild/upgrade parts ideas.

    I have been searching for a parts list or "recipe" for a 727 I am planning to rebuild but haven't been able to find much. I have Tom Hand's and Carl Munroe's books, I've watched a few videos and feel confident I can handle it. Some improvements make sense to me and others I wonder how much of a...

    Converter identification

    Can anyone tell me what this torque converter is? Guy I bought it from couldn’t remember where he got it or what brand it is, he thought it was a 3200 stall. I think it is too big to be that high of a stall speed but I really don’t know.

    Anyone have pics of Dr Diff 13" Cobra brakes installed?

    I'm trying to figure out how far past the wheel mounting surface the caliper protrudes or how much relief the wheel needs to clear the caliper. All of the pics I can find are facing the rotor surface, I want to see from the edge of the rotor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Mornin’! Guess I’ll get this started.

    I’ve been visiting here for a while, hoping and waiting to find a car to take all my time and money. I finally found a ‘69 Coronet 500 and have plans lined up for the foreseeable future. This place is pretty dangerous for the bank account but I have learned a lot of useful things and how to...
