    440 Source rotating assembly

    You can run another brand of piston if the geometry (e.g. pin size, bore size,...) matches. You may need to have the assembly re-balanced. Certainly you could get a custom piston made.

    When I did my auto 4 speed conversion, I found someone going the other way (4 speed to auto) and bought everything off them. Way cheaper and I got almost everything. It there was still a number of small items I still bought separate. In addition to the 4 speed functional parts, you may...

    Is your new clutch a diaphragm type clutch? Some clutches require the over center spring in the clutch pedal under the dash to be removed.

    4 speed conversion for 70 Coronet

    I did a 4 speed conversion in my 68 coronet with all factory type parts. Drives great and way more fun! If done right it would be difficult to tell from a factory original 4 speed car

    ‘69 Charger with Console 4 Speed Shifter

    On my 68 Coronet, I tried a console pistol grip with a standard Hurst mechanism for about a week after my 4 speed conversion. My hand would hit the dash in 1st or 3rd with any amount of force other than a slow shift. It had to be the longest throw shifter I’ve ever driven. I then found and...

    Excessive valvetrain noise

    Here’s a link to your lifter manufacturer instructions on adjustment. Instructions If the lash is too much for the lifter to take up this could cause noise and loose rockers. This possibly could be caused by wear in the lifter, cam, rocker, or other valve train components causing some slop...

    318 hard start when cold

    When it’s cranking and doesn’t want to restart after stalling out from a cold restart this could be a lean or no fuel condition. When it’s in this long restart state, stop trying to start and take the air cleaner off and see if your accelerator pump squirts fuel when you move the throttle by...

    Something Wrong With Passenger Side of Engine?

    Sounds a bit like a cylinder is missing to me. Check the spark plugs and ignition wires. If it’s mechanical, a compression check will help identify a weak or dead cylinder.

    Hemi Compression Ratio You've Used

    I’m at 10.5:1 in my 528 hemi with MP iron heads. It runs on pump 93. I did back the timing off to just 30 degrees total. It likes more timing when on race gas when it was dyno’d.

    input shaft goes smooth but won't go in pilot bearing

    If you have plenty of depth in the crank for the transmission input shaft and your bell housing is aligned, the clutch disk might be just a hair off center. Even when I have used a clutch disk alignment tool, I couldn't get it just right. I've heard some install by having someone push the...
