    Reasons why, wont run issue

    You can easily mount the coil on the passenger side of the engine bay without issues, to clear some of those heat soak problems! Glad you solved your issue, I would have never guessed it would be the ECU; that is why these boards are so helpful! Happy 'Tire Smokin' Motoring :headbang:

    Deal #2 that made my night or life!!

    It's nice to see a Mopar getting a second chance at life. Obviously it needs a tremendous amount of work, but it will have more hope of survival in your hands than on that trailer. Good luck on your resto journey, and i'm looking forward to the HEMI pics!

    how much hood clearance do I have?

    An oval air cleaner, with a shorter element would be a great choice if clearance is an issue. You still have a large filter surface area to draw air into the carburetor while keeping a low overall profile and clearing linkage.

    how much hood clearance do I have?

    I have a 1969 RR and the Victor intake manifold creates an environment where the carburetor (without breather) sits higher than the fender line with solid engine mounts. It really is a very tight fit, and I'm running an 2" oval air cleaner (turned horizontal) for the six pack hood to clear and...

    What would you pay?

    I believe the bottom line is going to be that the owner will never get the amount he places into the car, out of it. When it costs, $7,500 to build a nice performing 400 engine with aluminum heads and a aesthetically pleasing engine bay, $1,500 in a 727, $500 in the fuel system, $500 in a...

    Waking up the old 400

    I run the 509 "Purple Shaft" in my CME 9.75:1 451. I can tell you right now, with a basic 'untouched' Holley 750CFM 4150 series carburetor it ran completely off key. Installed another 750CFM 4150 series carburetor with a Proform Main body and Base plate (along with the correct jets, boosters...

    Waking up the old 400

    I am sorry to say but their isn't much truth to the claim of steel cranks being put solely behind 833-4 speeds. Crankshafts were either Cast or Forged. In 1972 Chrysler started installing cast cranks in "B" and "RB" engines. Typically, if your car came from the factory with a four barrel...

    Waking up the old 400

    Here is your mistake; Camshaft selection. Step down to a 272* duration, .455 lift "Purple Shaft" camshaft and you'll be fine. If you don't currently own a Direct Connection/Mopar performance engine manual then I would recommend purchasing one. Your current part selection isn't dictating...
