I recently acquired another 440 block. It is honed up nice and appears to be bored .020 over. My question is since the bore on this 440 is 4.34" and the bore of a stock 400 is 4.34" could I interchange these pistons or would they sit too far down in the hole? Also do piston companies still make...

I am replacing my rubber, biscuit type engine mounts on my dodge ram 440. I built some home made steel ones the same. Anyone tried running solid mounts like this? Pros and cons? I just took stock rubber mounts and welded steel into them instead of the rubber. Still running stock trans mount as...

I am having an issue with a 727 transmission that I rebuilt behind my 440. I took the internals out of a smallblock 727 in good working order and placed them into the cleaned case of a 727 big block. I put everything in one case as it came out of the other. So I am fairly certain that the moving...

I Finished building my 440 and was pre-lubing the oil pump with the drill. I had 80 psi on the guage, so i figured all was good. As I turned the engine over it squirted a big blast of oil out of the rocker arms. Is this normal? I thought the top end was only supposed to get minimal oiling? Stock...

I have been rebuilding a 440 engine. It is mostly stock with a few aftermarket parts. But I just installed my rocker arms and pushrods. When I turned the engine over it was great! All the valves opened and closed and it took about 35 ft lbs on the torque wrench to turn the motor over. Since I...

When I install the valley pan on my 440 should I use gaskets too or just use copper gasket on the metal valley pan around the intake ports? It is a stock valley pan with stock iron heads.

I have some 906 heads with dual valve springs. Just wondering If it is alright to run these still springs to break in my cam in a new motor? I heard somewhere to remove the inner spring for cam break in? Also I have steel shim Mopar head gaskets 0.20 compressed thickness ones. Do I install them...

I was taking my 360 apart to put in new head gaskets and the cam looks pretty bad. Do you guys think I should replace it? If so any recommendations for a truck? sees mostly street and track use.

When using plasti-gauge to check my bearing clearances, is should i put oil in the bottom half where the crank sits in? Or should I put the crank in dry and just make sure it doesn't turn?

So my 440 is at the machine shop now, and its going to cost me a little more than expected. So i was thinking about cutting costs on the top end, using stock parts and doing what i can myself. I have a set of 346 heads that have been ported and have dual valve springs. The heads are clean and...
