It's whatever oil pan was on the 1967 Imperial, with the dents pounded out of it. The stock oil pan hardly has clearance for the oil pickup, they nearly touch — and it's not an in any way oversized pan, so I don't think I can shorten that. Perhaps shims at the motor mounts, but I am a little...

I have a 1967 Satellite, originally a 318 car which has been converted to a 440. The original 440 was out of an Imperial, but I've gone nuts with it after it started getting some rod knock and I rebuilt it (Aluminum RPM Performer Edelbrock heads, RPM Performer intake, Lunati 289° .513/.533 cam...

A galley plug! That's a good one. I'm very suspicious of the oil not getting to the pan, and the dry stick. As per the photo of the windage tray you can see there's a special tap in the tray for the dipstick I don't see how the stick could wind up on top of the tray (I was sort of suspecting...

Yeah the pump is MP-4286590. I've gone a head and picked up the new shaft...I'm going to pull the old one this weekend. While I have the shaft out, I'll try priming the system and see if I get any oil pressure. If I don't I guess I'll pull the pump. I'm still reaching for ideas as to why the...

I don't know, as I didn't do that...it *was* building oil pressure previously, back when I was having trouble getting it running just the starter turning would kick off the oil light and put some pressure on the gauge. I'm starting to think I might have broken the oil pump drive shaft, now that...

So I built a big fancy fast engine. Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and Intake, Harland Sharp Roller Rockers, .513/.533 @ 289° Lunati Cam, Windage Tray, High volume oil pump from Mopar Performance, Edelbrock Fuel Pump, Edelbrock Performer 750 cfm, MSD Ready-to-Run and MSD Blaster 2 coil, Hooker...

I sent them a photo of it, they said it's not going to compromise the structural integrity, but offered to replace it anyway. I took another look at it and decided to take their word for it.

Just pulled my harland sharp roller rockers out and bolted them down. I noticed something a little strange. There is a pretty significant imperfection in the left-most rocker. Should I be worried about this?

I'm looking to pick these up: http://www.harlandsharp.com/bb_mopar.htm It says they'll work with the stock valve covers up to .500 lift, if you remove the oil baffles. Of course, I'm running more than .500" lift (0.513/0.533) and so it seems I need some valve covers which aren't stock...

I used white grease on the bearings.

You're kidding. These rocker arms aren't good enough? ****. Well, one thing is, I am beginning to run out of money. But also, I've heard tons about how the steel rocker arms are actually quite reasonable for performance applications. My plan was to switch later on down the road. But since...

I'm using the stamped steel, non-adjustable rockers.

I've got Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and the Lunati 60304 cam. I need to determine the pushrod length, so I was wondering if anyone else has this kit or if anyone has a link to some good directions as to how to measure lifter pre-load? I have an adjustable pushrod, but I'm not really...

Yeah the crank moved freely. And it got progressively tougher with each piston. Then I let it sit over night (upside-down, from having torqued down the rod bolts) and it was nearly impossible to move. I just attacked it with engine assembly lube after wiping all the motor oil out of the...

Heads aren't on yet. I used motor oil, and lots of it. I guess I should get a better lubricant. It frees up after I get it to turn over a bit with the oil but at first it really sticks pretty damn hard. The rings aren't gapless, they're factory gap rings (that's why I dropped the link). I...

I just buttoned up the bottom end of my freshly machined, 0.030 over 440, and this piston/ring kit: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/UEM-KB237KTM030/ How hard should it be to turn over? It was a little easier yesterday, but after it sat in the shop all night it takes most my weight at the...

He said "and if you upgrade the fuel pump to the HEMI delivery rate"; Which wasn't clear to me since I know nothing about the HEMI or even the 440 Pump really. :-) I read that as "more than stock but nothing too fancy". I guess I'll just finish putting it together and see what happens. :-)

So the stock pump probably won't be quite enough, you're suggesting? I was looking at the Edelbrock 1723, which is 6 PSI/110 GPH. To get 7.5 PSI, I could use the Holley 12-440-11 which can push 8 PSI. I don't know how to adjust them but I'm sure there is something I can do. Edelbrock of...

1967 Satellite; 440. It was quite a "barn" type find, sat in storage 25 years. As soon as I started driving it everything started breaking, but it looks pretty reasonable in factory Spinnaker White paint and the interior is in surprisingly good shape (of course the seams are starting to go)...

I'm in the middle of my first engine build. I pulled the 440 out of my Satellite and basically went to town on it. This is how it's coming together: Bore 0.030" Over Main & Rod Journals 0.010" Under KB Flat top pistons with valve reliefs; 10:1 Cam Lunati 60304 0.513"/0.533", 276°/284°...
