Looking to replace my head gaskets and install head studs on my wagon. Can the cylinder heads be removed and re-installed with head studs with the engine in the car? It looks like it may be tight. Can the heads be set in place and the studs be threaded into the block afterwards? 440 in a 67...

Looking to start building a new engine for my car soon. I would like to get an aftermarket iron block but they seem to be far and few between at the moment and aluminum is just out of the budget. My question is how high can you fill a factory block and still street drive it with an oil cooler...

Picked up a 489 rear with the large 7290 yoke but it is missing the straps to hold the U- joint in place. Tried the Moog 492-10 kit but the spacing between the bolt holes was too wide on the Moog straps and had 5/16 bolts when I believe the yoke has 1/4 bolts. Anyone know of a kit that fits...

Is there any difference between a 440 out of an RV and out of a car? I see these RV motors for sale everywhere for a fairly reasonable price and was wondering if there was something that made them less valuable for a motor-swap into a car. I think I heard that the water pumps, cams, and...

What parts will be needed for the conversion and where is the best place to find them? The car is currently a 318 auto and I plan on swapping it to a 440 4-speed. Are there any parts that can be scavenged from another vehicle like a truck or another car (something other then a 67 coronet) that...
