    Hydraulic lifter pre-load

    Finally got the TF 270 heads on, the hughes 1.6 rockers on, and the pushrods in. Cam is comp hydraulic flat .545 241/247 (.581 with the 1.6 rockers) and comp lifters. Comp calling for .045 lifter preload. Seems like an awful lot of preload. Thinking the trick is to keep the inner plunger off...

    Head Gasket Cylinder Overhang

    70 440, .060 over, TF 270 heads TF called for the FelPro 1009 gasket. The gasket bores are not round. On the intake side (top) of the gasket it overhangs the bores. So bore on the 440 with .060 should be 4.38". FelPro website says 4.41 bore size on that gasket. I've got plenty of room on...

    Carburetor suggestions - 625 or 750?

    Finally got the 440 back together on my '74 triple black Charger. It fired right up. Carb leaks pretty badly - I need to break in the cam but don't want to use the TQ with the leaks. It looks like it's been "rebuilt" at some pint with lots of orange RTV. I think that carb goes into the...

    1974 440 Front of Motor - Brackets and Bolts! A/C car!

    My 1974 Charger has a heap of "crap", err I mean parts in a box for the front of the motor. They were in the process of installing an underdrive aluminum pulley set. So I'm looking for a schematic of how this stuff goes together and a source for the missing stuff. My car is A/C and P/S. I...
