400/512, Trick Flow intake, Trick Flow 240 heads. All parts installed new out of box. Low mileage engine, 300-400 miles since built, probably less. Putting smaller intake on so hood can go back on. When I removed Trick Flow intake there was oil on the intake/head mating surface. Oil is on both...

69 GTX with original Dana. Cover was leaking. When I pulled off there was foam in the diff. Is this normal?

Pulled distributor. This is what I saw.

I had a hell of a time removing old pickup from 440. Finally got it out yesterday and went to install new pickup from 440 source (part # 121-1056). Now the issue is I don't think the the threads on new pickup are NPT. They are are different from the pickup that came out of the engine. A Milodon...

Need some advise. I cannot get the oil pickup tube out of this 440. Engine was built in 2011 so its been there for about 13 years. This is a 1/2 inch tube. The machine shop who built the engine enlarged the opening to 1/2 so I have to assume it was done correctly. I have tried vice grips...

Engine is 440/496 with hyd roller cam and Crane Gold roller rockers. Engine assembled 12 years ago and has 2500 miles. There is a loud ticking noise coming from top end. I removed valve covers and found some loose rockers: #2 exhaust #6 intake #6 exhaust #8 intake (#8 exhaust valve is open)...

Having many problems getting this engine to run. 400/511. I'm not sure of the timing. In the pic there are two marks: white mark on post #1 of distributor cap and a black mark on distributor base. The black mark represents where rotor is pointing with engine at TDC on compression stroke. The...

Having problems getting this engine to run properly. I think timing is the issue. The pic is with #1 TDC on compression stroke. The rotor is at about the 7 O'clock looking from front of car. In this position it aligns with the designated #1 on the cap. I've seen other photos where the rotor is...

why does a 727 leak fluid without drive shaft?

Almost ready for first engine start with engine in the car. Transmission, 727 by Protrans, has sat for about 2 years now. It was run on dyno but shipped dry so nothing in the pan. I put about 1/2 quart fluid in converter before converter install. How much fluid should I put in trans before...

I using Mopar Performance cast aluminum valve covers on 511 build with Sniper. I have the correct PCV grommet for this valve cover but I can't locate a fixed orifice PCV valve that works with the grommet designed for this cover. The ID of the grommet is .470. I can't find any fixed orifice PCV...

Engine is 400/512 built by professional and run/tuned on dyno. No issues. Things got behind schedule and engine has been sitting for just under two years. Finally ready to go so I figured to spin the engine over with starter to build up some oil pressure. Spark plugs removed for this. Installed...

This is currently how I have TCI Cheetah shifter cable routed on my Charger. It exits the floor on passenger side, is routed over trans support, then turns towards drivers side and is routed under trans support. Everything is hooked up and shifter operates good. I installed this before I put the...

What exactly is the transmission case to to cylinder block brace? My FSM says to install it. I don't remember ever removing one

Went to install transmission today. 727 going on 400 block. Car is on jack stands in my garage. Install went fine at first. Trans bolted right up to engine on first attempt. Everything seemed good until I tried to secure trans to aft mount. The bolts were about an inch off. Investigation...

Where would park be for a 727 with a RMVB installed. Should the lever point forward towards the engine or aft toward the rear of the car? Thanks

Finally got factory stuff removed. Got the Cheetah where I want it on the car. How far forward should I put the hole in the trans tunnel? Frank

I'm going to install a Cheetah shifter in 68 Charger. Currently transmission is out and engine is in. Whats better: install shifter first then trans or trans then shifter? Never installed an after market shifter. Any advise on install would be appreciated. Thanks Frank

Attempted to install engine in 68 Charger today and had problems. 400 block with Schumacker poly lock mounts. 440 Source engine mount bracket kit. Installing engine with hoist from top. Engine only not engine and trans. No matter what I did I could not get driver side and passenger side engine...

I have a console in my 68 Charger. I want to remove the stock trans linkage and shifter and use a Cheetah SCS unit. Can the Cheetah be used with the factory console or will the console have to be removed? Thanks Frank
