I am trying to figure out the proper setup/routing for the kickdown linkage on my 440/727 combo. I am not sure if the hinged piece faces the front of the engine or the firewall and how I should route the linkage pieces back to the 727. I can't find the pics I took before the original engine was...

Hey all, I have a 727 behind the 440 that is going into my 67 Coronet. The factory speedo never seemed right with the red drive gear (didnt count teeth), plus now I have 3.55 gears in the rear...I am running 15" tires that are very close to the factory in overall height. The 8 3/4 rear is from...

Hey all, Finally have some money and got my hands on a large water jacket 440 block and want to build it up as a performance oriented street able engine. I called Mancini, Scat, and a bunch of performance Mopar builders in Florida and they all have Chinese made cranks/pistons/rods/etc...

Hey all, The 383 in my Coronet has always whined a little, but now it is becoming much more pronounced. I have powe steering, in case that info is helpful. It sounds a little bit like I have an whiny belt drive supercharger under the hood, LOL. The belts seem tight and only show some wear...

Please forgive my ignorance on this topic in advance :-) In the process of gutting my interior to put down a layer of sound deadening insulation (and then finding rust to deal with on the floor pans), I noticed that my shifter assembly looks very battered and rusted/rotted. Since my car isn't...

Hey all, So I am dealing with a vapor lock/fuel boiling issue when trying to restart my car after being driven. Unfortunately I have an edelbrock thunder carb so no air circulates around it like a holley style carb. I am wrapping the hard fuel line with DEI reflective wrap, and will add a...

Hey all, A friend of a friend has a 400 motor complete, supposedly stock rebuilt (so just a reliable engine) that I was thinking about picking up for the last few weeks. The 383 in my car leaks a quart a week if I drive it a bit (rear main seal leaks a bunch of that), has a lifter that keeps...

Hello all, It's going to be a long winter in New York and I wanted to spend some time rebuilding and modifying the 340 six pack setup I picked up to put on my 383 in the spring. I want to be somewhat cost conscious, but want to get this done right and only once. I bought the six pack...

I am wondering if anyone has any input on the differences between the 340 six pack carbs and the 440 ones. I bought the six pack handbook and am waiting for it to arrive so i would like some input from actual six pack owners too. i came across some 340 carbs locally for a few hundred bucks and...

So, after solving one problem, I move onto the next. There is definitely an issue with the tuning on my carb since I got the car, so I plan to take apart the car, clean it, and rebuild it with the proper jetting and fix the float issue (car stalls after heavy braking or taking an incline...

Have a 383 in my Coronet, appears to be completely stock, except it has aftermarket intake/carb. I was told that it had a purple cam, and judging by the idle, that is likely. However, I have no idea which purple cam.... ...anyway, the other day I started hearing a clacking from the top end. I...

As I go through the car I keep seeing some things that I have to ask about. It seems the alternator pulley is 2 groove and the crank pulley is 4 groove. Is there any reason for this? I'm thinking maybe the engine was originally set up for AC or something? I plan to add AC over the...
