    440 ILDING AFTER 42 YEARS! Engine Troubleshooting

    A few weeks back, I had been questioning the way my fresh 440 was running. This is my first engine build, so I don't know much - but I could still tell it was running pretty rough. Any adjustments I tried making just made it really upset and so I decided to just let it run for the sake of the...

    Help! "Correct" way to install distributor on a 440???

    Recently got my 440 running for the first time! We ran it at 3k long enough for a cam break in. It is a stock spec cam and nothing special. I just wanted a reliable and rebuilt engine for my cruiser. Yes, the car is a C Body but I know there are a multitude of engine gurus here who can help me...

    Is a late 440 worth it for a cruiser?

    As I finish up my ongoing 68 C Body project, I am already looking into the next. I wasn't planning on it, but my dream car (a 1962 Chrysler) fell into my lap - and selling the 68 would get me the money I need to purchase the car and then some! It's a '62 300 sport with a 413. She hasn't been...

    Carb Choice for Stock 440?

    Hey all! I asked this same question on FCBO, but I'd also like to get input from my good neighbors here on FBBO regarding my 440 build. Now, I know this is one of those kinds of questions that has a bazillion different answers… but I’m trying to be sensible, and not over carb a STREET driven 440...

    Fresh 440 installation!

    Got the 440 installed yesterday! Mocked up radiator core support / fan setup. I had a few questions regarding the transmission and whether or not I need to pull the motor back out. I seated the torque converter in until I heard 2 clicks. It spun freely with no issues! Could see the tail...

    Engine’s almost in!

    I know she’s a C Body, but I’ve been so happy with how much help this site has been. I just had to share a pic! Made the swap over to non AC pulleys. Yes, the 2 groove pulley works with my flapper mounted TRW. Can’t wait to hear the old girl run! Thanks for everyone’s help so far :)

    Break In Oil! Which one to use for my 440?

    Nearing the installation and initial start of my 1968 440. Aside from having needed to be bored 30 over, it is all stock. Stock spec cam, lifters etc. etc. There is a LOT of info on the web about break in oils and whatnot, but I figured I should ask the pros here on what they think! Like I said...

    AC to Non- AC Belt Orientation?

    Originally, my 440 was set up for AC. Poor old girl hasn't fired since 1980 or so... After setting it up after the rebuild is where I realized that just doing away with the factory AC isn't so easy... I won't lie, comparatively I'm a newb when it comes to this stuff. I'm 21 and this is...
