Thanks!

Thanks, I think this is what I will do. Can you share where you got your upgrade parts?

When I had my 440 motor rebuild the water pump put on was with the exit on the drivers side. I have got everything to fit except the AC compressor, it hits the water pump thermostat housing. Anyone have a solution for this? I would like to keep the AC if I can. I am wondering if the brackets...

My motor is almost done and I do intend on using exhaust gaskets but i did notice the factory manual says they are not needed. What does the B Body community do? Gaskets, no gaskets, or gaskets and sealer like copper rtv? I'm very interested to see what the opinions are here, and as always...

Thanks! I must have picked it up somewhere along the way from old parts. It's good to know I didn't miss a bracket somewhere.

I have a 73 RR with a 440. Maybe it is from a different motor and that is why I can't find where it goes.

For the life of me I can't find where this bracket goes. I'm sure it's for the accessories on the front of the motor but where... Anyone know?

Thanks everyone for all the feedback, I have decided to go with the Comp Cams oil as it looks like a good oil and I found it at a very good price. Wish me luck!

This is good to know as the oil is much cheaper by the case. Thanks!

LOL, thanks. I hope it's done before it gets that cold again!

Flat tappet, hydraulic lifters.

Would you recommend SAE 30?

Yep, all stock.

I hope to be starting up this engine soon so was wondering how much break in oil will I need. The motor is from a 73 Roadrunner and has the factory oil pan. I am looking at the Lucas oil and it comes ina 5 quart jug, is that enough or should I get 2? The manual says 4 + 1 for the filter but no...

Thanks, that is good to know. I'm going to be using an Edelbrock AVS2 carb but I will have to watch that there is clearance.

Wow, great solutions, I think the 45 will work very well, otherwise I will see what I can build from parts. Off to the hardware/auto parts store tomorrow to see what I can find! Thanks everyone for your help.

This is on a 73 Roadrunner with a 440. The vacuum port does not want to screw in without hitting the intake. I weary at bending in the connectors as the may break or collapse. Any suggestions?

Yeah, I'm not too sure. I have an old set that I am going to bring to my builder and let him tell me.

I am going to stick with manifolds, at least for now.

Yes.
