It has been a while since I posted. I finally got the 440 back from the machine shop about 7 weeks ago. I decided that I probably want to redo the k member and then put the engine together and mount it up and slide it all under the car. I have read through a number of the posts on here and...

Quick recap: 1973 Charger SE, has a 69 440. Car has not run for 25 years and I just wanted to get it to a driveable state. Made a little contraption to run the water pump to flush the engine and when I was almost done, noticed a trickle of water coming from under the car. Leaking from the...

I have a couple of different topics here. I have a 73 Charger with a 440. I know from the stamp pad (E 440) that it is a 1969. I don’t know much more. I saw a YouTube video where the guy said that if the lower radiator connection is on the passenger side of the water pump housing, it means...

Looking for a good, trustworthy and reasonably priced machine shop in Central Iowa. OST likely will be rebuilding the 440, so will need it tanked, honed/bored, line honed and decked. Just want to make sure they do good work and hopefully at a reasonable price. Who have you used and were you...

I was just finishing up the last flush on the 440 and noticed a stream of water coming from under the car (73 Charger). I slid under there and the leak is coming from behind the passenger side motor mount. I can’t get a good look at it, even using my endoscope, but I am pretty sure I saw a...

Greetings! Working on the 73 Charger heater box, took the heater core to be pressure tested and it was leaking beyond repair. I ordered a new one through Summit Racing and at first glance I thought everything looked good. I finally got the box to the point where I wanted to install the new...

I have made some progress on my project, slowly but surely. I decided the next item up should be the coolant system. Got the radiator drained of what coolant was left and got the radiator out. After looking at it, I finally figured what was meant by rows and determined mine is a two row...

As a reminder, I have a 73 Charger that while being stored at my ex in-laws place, had some pack rats get under the hood and chew a number of wires off. I think I finally have all the wires connected, except for the spark plug wires. It was a real PITA. Some wires were still long enough I...

Judging by the multitude of threads and posts, does not seem to be a straight forward answer. I will apologize up front for the long post. I just joined up yesterday and am hoping to get an answer to this. I have a 1973 Charger with a 69 440 and a 727 transmission that has not run or been...

Greetings! I have been lurking for a while and finally decided to join in on the fun. I have a 1973 Dodge Charger SE that I have owned since 1985. It came stock with a 400, but sometime before I bought the car, someone swapped in a 440. I finally found the stamp pad and saw that it is a 69...
