We've all used some version of the engine lift plate --- the one you bolt to the intake manifold for the engine lift. Every time I do this I get the willies because it's just 4 tiny bolts in an aluminum intake meant to hold a carburetor. How much weight is reasonable? I get it... "an engine"...

Ok, strange experience yesterday and would like to share to see what this group thinks. About the car/engine: It's a 400ci in a '67 Coronet 440. Engine oil was a little on the old side. Oil pres. gage working and tested. I know nothing about the engine/car, just purchased about 3 weeks ago...

This is more of a curiosity type of question and potentially a very obvious answer. Going down the road - nothing special, 45 mph, cruising - and suddenly a very loud grinding noise came from the rear. It stopped and then did it again. Was only a mile from home. Pulled apart to find the shaft...

Hi All, My car seems to maintain a decent temp while moving (180-190), but starts to warm up significantly and pretty fast when I come to a stop. Typical muscle car, but it makes it almost impossible to drive around town. I have a Frostbite 3 core radiator (FB142) and 175 thermostat. I tried...

Hi all, A potentially stupid question, but after I pulled my 8 3/4 742 rear apart and cleaned it I magically lost the shims. Now, when I put back together, well, as predicted it's wrong - pinion is too tight and very difficult to turn. Where can I buy just a set of shims? Preferably a kit with...

I promise I searched for this answer before posting assuming this is a basic question, but I think it's too basic. So I'll be the first dummy. I have a '77 440. The block has enlarged coolant ports (figure 8's.., see pic) and the TF 240 heads have offset large holes that line up with one side...

Hi all and thank you in advance...you guys have been a huge help. I have a 440 short block and the deck clearance is 0.172... I'm pretty sure it's a MH motor but that seems like a big number to me. Anyway... Here is my question... Is the deck height the same (generally speaking) on all RBs...

I have a 66 charger with an 8-3/4 rear running 2.94 gears, open. A relatively decent 440 engine and your run-of-the-mill 727. The gears are just a little too tall for me. I don't drive it on the highway but I must admit it cruise is pretty nice around 65 - 70. However, I have no interest in...

I was hoping someone could check my math. For argument sake let's assume my piston to valve clearance is 0.000. Let's assume my intake valve is 2.02 and I'm changing to a new head that is 2.19. The valve angle is 15°. Is the following calc correct... Change in valve diameter is...
