Just sharing some knowledge. I heard a lot of nightmare oil leak problems caused by wrong type of crankshaft purchase. The knurling from a reverse rotation Marine crankshaft will force oil out of the rear seal. If needed you can have the knurling removed and use a Viton seal. Take a look.

Looking through some old cams to have reground, lost hope with todays metallurgy. I noticed a different journal size, particularly on the front journal. At first I thought is was a hemi camshaft, but the lobes are correct for B and RB not hemi. Is this just a manufacturers difference?

Did a mock-up for the 72 Charger. I extended the bracket to fit an RPM manifold. Do I have to extend the solid bar that goes down to the transmission?

Was a good running motor with no leaks. Pits are outside of the fire ring. Im more concerned with the coolant hole. Blocks been milled .020 before. To clean it up its going to need another .020. Really dont want to mill it again. Any ideas?

Digging through the garage and found a bunch of BB valve covers. I think the aqua covers are 68s and 69s. Have no idea what the black ones are. Any ideas?

Purchased a new Carter Super pump last year for my 440.Car ran great, then it sat for 8 months. I started it yesterday and the bottom gasket was pouring out gas. Someone told me the check valves can freeze up. Anyone familiar with this?

Picked up an old CH4B. It has chips around the intake ports. I dont want to machine them out it would take too much off the face. My options are: 1-Weld them in, I have a spool gun. 2- use muggy weld to fill them in. 3- JB weld them. A gasket match and then a light mill afterwards should clean...

Does this look like a replacement block? Cant get a picture of the side to check to see if it has a vin.

Anyone know the lifter seat height for hydraulic lifters from lets say 1955 -1970. Im aware that the pushrod cup changed in 68, but what about the seat height? From what I was able to research early seat height was 1.814 (up to 1959) Later seat height 1.795 (up to 1978) Can you interchange early...

I was taking apart a 67 440 HP and found this strange fitting. Has provision for a sending unit and a mechanical gauge. Is this a stock piece? Thread broke off the bottom, but I can braze a new one back on it.
