Kinda hard getting 2 pliers and 2 hands behind the dash behind the shifter though. If there was a "snap ring plier" type tool that could expand it it would be easy.

Yep, thats it. Yes, a snap ring like tool, a GREAT BIG one. (That metal is thick and tough).

Talking about the shifter end behind the dashboard (not transmission end) of the "Park" cable on a push button transmission shifter, not a parking brake cable. The cable sheath is attached to the push button shifter assembly by "crimping" the metal of the shifter housing around a groove in the...

Trying to remove the park cable from my 64 Polara parts car. Is there a tool to release where the pushbutton end is "crimped" to the assembly? I don't mind mangling the donor but if I decide to put it in my good car I'll need a better solution. Thx. Bernie

Husker, My .02c, worth every penny you paid.... As others say, no reusing lifters. Buy them with the cam and make SURE you have zinc break in oil AND use a good assembly lube. 284 is not a terribly wild cam for a 440. It might be for smaller displacement engines but not the big rb motors. I have...

Installing a refreshed short block in my 440. The oil pump shaft was scored where it runs on the bronze bushing so I bought a new one from Melling. I used the old one to make an oil pump priming tool, cut off the gear and welded a longer shaft on it to chuck up in the drill. Noticed that the...

Gee, I sure hope so!

Thanks KK. It already had the risers blocked. I hope it works as good for me.

I have had a heat soak problem on my 64 Polara with a 440 Magnum clone motor. I just put a 1 in. open phenolic spacer under the carb, not a good one, an Ebay cheapy because I wasn't certain it would help. I was surprised to notice a power increase off the bottom and well into the midrange on my...

Thanks Beanhead! The bore is .030 over, 4.35 and change. I have read about great improvement with modern heads. I just bought the car and I am pretty confident it has a burnt valve on #7. I was thinking if I am going to do the top that it may be worth stepping up to aluminum. My paperwork says...

Bee1971. Thanks for the response. Plug clearance was my main concern. The build sheet I got from the PO says the deck height is .019, pistons are 7cc (dish?), gasket .039 in. head CC 87.5. Compression is 9.387. The cam is not listed in my documentation but is obviously mild and I am told it is a...

Iron heads.

Anyone using these angle plug heads on a 440 with Mopar RT Magnum exhaust maniflods? Any fitment issues? They have 75cc chambers. This motor currently has a set of Mopar 452 heads. Would the Eddys be a performance upgrade? Whaddaya think? Thanks, Bernie
