    Thoughts on gear vendors OD

    Looking into possibly going with a gear vendors for my 70 charger 4 speed. I don’t want to cut the car up to put a modern trans in it. Does anyone here have one on the back of their 4 speed? I’m building the car to drive, and would like to do power tour with it.

    How risky is removing and reinstalling a cam bearing if oil hole isn’t aligned?

    I know it’s not the best practice…but let’s say I misaligned the oil hole on a cam bearing. How risky is pressing it back out and reinstalling it in the same bore? Possible that it’s fine, or high risk for a spun bearing? It seemed to fit tight, just not as tight as the first install. This is...

    Which ATI Super Damper?

    I have a 400 stroker with the AE engineering Billet timing cover and stock alternator and power steering brackets. I would assume I want the 2 ring ATI for stock locations? I hate to play 1000 questions, but this is my first build and I don’t want to buy the wrong parts. I have been...

    Picking the right head gaskets.

    For a 4.375 bore motor, what size gasket would you go with? Is 4.380 good? I have heard you want it slightly bigger than the bore. Also, are mopar performance ones any good? They have a set at .025 which would bump up my CR a bit. With a 0.039 head gasket, I should get 10.4:1. I would assume...

    Questions about measuring pushrod length

    I am getting close to needing to measure pushrods and check PTV clearance and had a few questions. For a bit of background, I am building a 400-512 stroker with tfs270 heads, t&d 1.6 rockers, and a lunati voodoo hydraulic roller cam with comp cams evolution lifters. Any ideas on what length...

    Tips for first engine fire and break in

    I am almost done piecing together my 512, just a few more odds and ends are needed. I had considered buying or building a run stand to test fire it outside of the car in case I have any leaks or issues. But I was watching the total seal ring channels video and they recommend breaking in the...

    Thoughts on HRC, Summit and Comp Cams evolution lifters

    Any thoughts? I tried to order the Howard Max effort hydraulic roller lifters, but they were backordered. Summit has their rebrand Summit Brand ones in stock for like $640, I believe they use Morel? I did also find the comp cams evolution lifters. They are supposedly user serviceable and sound...

    SFI 18.1 balancer questions

    I don’t know much about these. I have seen fluid dampeners and then it appears there are billet pro/race style ones for $300-500. The billet ones are anywhere from 8-11 lbs. What would be best for a street strip stroker motor? It’s probably set up a little on the race side…but will see a lot...

    What hydraulic roller lifters have people had good luck with?

    Looking for lifters for my build. 400/512 stroker with a lunati voodoo 713 cam and max wedge trick flows. Are lunati decent? Or are there certain brands that are good or ones to avoid?

    Help identifying radiator

    Any ideas what year and make this is out of? It’s rough. I was going to toss it. Any value or scrap?

    Proper way to measure PTV and verify pushrod length…what order?

    I finally got the call that my T&D rockers are ready to ship. I have the cam installed and degreed and all that. Cam button installed and cam endplay verified. I do not have an old head gasket…and I’d rather not waste a set of head gaskets just to take measurements. Will the compressed height of...

    Black spot on cylinder wall…dingleball hone or worse?

    First off, it’s not a mopar engine. I got this used as a junkyard pullout to put in a jeep pickup. I have broken down a couple of motors now, some with actual rust putting in cylinders. What is this black spot? Coolant sat in the cylinder? I had intended to do this on the cheap end. Bearings...

    8/69 casting 440 block…proper date for car and value?

    My 70 is a late year car (7/70), I’m assuming this casting would be much too early for the car to be “date correct”. It had six pack rods and the six pack balancer with the lower compression non- six pack pistons. It is standard bore, cylinders look pretty decent. I have yet to have it cleaned...

    Thoughts on a hellcat engine pullout for $5500

    So, I’m sticking with the big block for my charger build. However, I know they will be discontinuing the hellcat engines and it’s probably better to pick one up before they do so if I’d like to have one. I found a 2018 engine pulled out of a charger. The seller has receipts from buying the car...

    Anyone know who grinds cams for Hughes?

    I bought a lot of used parts a while back. Cam was supposedly Hughes, but is engraved Demos cams and has their grind number. Any chance these are outsourced or did I end up with a mystery camshaft?

    What is a 1970-1971 HP manifold set worth?

    I have a set of 2899879 and 2951865 manifolds. Casting number indicates 1970-71 b body. Hard to read the date codes. It looks like one is may of 69. If I was looking to sell them, what’s the going rate? I don’t plan on going back to manifolds, and moving some parts could help me clear up...

    1970 HP manifold value

    I have these and never see myself running anything but headers. Someone bought my rods and balancer for their six pack car wing car. What is a good sale price for these? I see singles for $150 ish on eBay, and apparently sets have sold on here for $450 plus shipping. If I do sell them I want...

    4150 vs 4500 Indy single plane intake…pros and cons

    I’ll preface this by saying I have both 4150 (950 ultra xp Holley and a QFT Q950) as well as a 4500 carb (king demon RS with 995-1150 venturis) for my 512 stroker. I have heard 4150s will be more streetable, or at the very least the dominator will take more work to dial in. My build is at around...

    OEM Forged 440 Crank value

    I sold the rods, pushrods and balancer from my 70 HP 440 block. If I build it, I would go with something newer and lighter. I had intended to keep the crank, but the buyer is also looking for one. What’s a good price for a forged 70 date crank in decent shape? I’m not a motivated seller, but...

    Intake fit issues Trick flow 270 to Indy single plane

    Any idea what’s going on here? Stock 400 block with maybe a light pass over the deck when the machine work was done. Brand new trick flow 270s and an Indy 400-2 single plane. The mounting holes look considerably off. I don’t have the head gaskets or intake gaskets on. It’s just mocked up...
