Does anyone have a molded big block for mock up that they want to sell or rent for a while? Preferably a B block but RB will work. Figure I would ask here before I buy a new one.

I am looking for sheet metal for my 1974 dart sport. I need the trunk floor pan, trunk extensions, and a LH front floor pan. Year One is 14-16 weeks out for sheet metal. Where is a good place to buy these pieces? Does anyone have anything laying around that they would want to sell?

Tremec 5 speed conversion kit for my 74 Dart Sport showed up yesterday. Can't wait to get the car on the road one day. Putting a mild built 383 in front of it with a 8 3/4 3.23 suregrip out back. Should be fun to drive.

Purchased a 1974 Dart Sport today. It has a 318 auto in it now. Not sure what direction I'm going to go with this build. Probably just get it on the road for now and see what happens. Going to need interior parts if anyone has extras they want to sell.

Anyone else ever have an issue with aluminum roller rockers rubbing on the pedestal on Edelbrock aluminum heads? The rockers are 440 source's roller rockers, heads are Edelbrock RPM. Still doing mock up so I only have one head on so far but the rocker for the exhaust on the #7 cylinder is...

I'm building my first stroker and want to hear your thoughts and need advice on the build. The car is a 68 GTX 4spd with 3.54 gears. I'm looking to build a street friendly pump gas motor for cruising the back roads and burning tires. The block is a 440 that will have to be .040 to clean up...

Can anyone tell me what these pistons are? I got them from a guy a few years ago. All I know is that they were out of a 383 and they are .030 obviously. I can't find any other markings on them. The numbers cast inside look like 295-99 but it is hard to tell.

Not an A-body but I need advice... I have a 1967 D200 truck that I want to turn into a street/strip truck. My dreams for the truck are to do a frame swap with a 1/2 ton 2wd frame so I will have independent front suspension, disc brakes, and power steering. I also plan on putting a BB stroker in...

Picked up a new project today. Can someone decode the fender tag for me so I can see what is correct and what isn’t? Not an A body but it is still a pretty sweet ride.

These are the spark plugs out of my 340 after about 300 miles of driving. How do they look to you guys? It runs great. I pulled the plugs so I could turn it over to adjust the valves and figured I would see what you guys think. Does it look lean, rich, right on? I'm not good at reading plugs...

340 cast iron 4bbl intake for sale. Casting number 3462848. Asking $150 plus the ride or make me an offer.

Can the compression ratio be figured out with the motor assembled? Maybe I am missing something but couldn't you pull the spark plug out of #1 cylinder, make sure it is at tdc, use a syringe and fill the combustion chamber with fluid and figure out the cc volume? I would like to figure out...

36" diameter X 12" tall stainless steel fire ring. Custom cut from 10ga stainless. There are only 2 of these around and I have the other one in my yard. $150. I prefer not to ship it. I can bring it to Mopars In the Park on Saturday.

I am looking to upgrade the heads on my stock 383. It currently has 516 casting heads on it now. I don't know the compression ratio, it is a stock 67' 383 truck motor, no wild cam or high performance build by any means. I am running an 850 thermoquad with cast iron intake and shorty headders...

I know this is probably a shot in the dark but I am looking for my dad's 71 Superbee. It had a 383 with a 3 speed originally but my dad put a 4 speed in it at some point. From what I remember it was burnt orange or brownish color with tan interior I believe. My dad sold it in mid 80s to a friend...

Trying to get my 340 timed today and something is crazy. I had the initial timing at 50* before it kicked back on the starter. It starts great and idles great around 43-45*. I checked the timing marks and verified that 0 is TDC. I used a dial back light and a cheaper non dial back light and get...

Anyone interested in a 741 case with 3.55 gears? I pulled it out of my duster because I installed a 489 with a truetrac. Asking $100 plus shipping from central Mn.

Earlier this winter I dynoed my 340 and the oil pressure on the dyno was hitting 140psi. We made 10 pulls and it kept hitting the 140 mark. At that time it had a melling HV pump and 15/40 oil with zddp additive for break-in. When I got home I swapped the hv pump for a melling standard volume...

A little background about the vehicle. It is an 86 dodge truck that the previous owner had all cobbled together. I have converted to a 1 wire HEI distributor, eliminating the balast resistor. I just installed a brand new ignition switch (old one fried because of shitty wiring from previous...

vin on oil pan rail is hard to make out but I think it is 0B181694.??? Numbers on the left front of block are FW340P30100285. Date cast on block is 7-14-69.

I need a new tach for my car so I was curious what aftermarket tach everyone has in their cars and if there are any to stay away from. I currently have a Mallory 10k rpm with built in shift light and rev limiter but it is going wacko. I don't use the rev limiter because I have an MSD 6al box and...

I need to replace the clutch disc in my car. I currently have a Centerforce II diaphram style pressure plate in it. My question is can/should I reuse the pressure plate and just replace the clutch disc or should they be replaced together? If I replace just the clutch disc is there a certain...

These came out of a 70 340. One of the pistons is junk and it looks like the rod is slightly bent thanks to a broken valve. The other 7 pistons and rods are good. The rods were reconditioned and everything was balanced by the machine shop when I built the motor. I ended up buying a set of rods...

ok guys and gals, hopefully this is the last question I will have about this 440. A little background of the motor- 76 440 out of a motor home, basic stock rebuild- honed cylinders, new rings, gaskets, new cam (stock specs), new lifters, valves and seats were ground. I finally got it in the...

I picked up new plugs for my 440 that I just rebuilt. The plugs I got are champion RJ12YC. The problem is that my heads have a small bump just below the spark plug hole. The motor is originally out of a 1976 motorhome. Is there a special smaller diameter plug that chrysler used? The threads are...

Anyone have a big block truck rear sump oil pan they want to part with? I don't need anything special, just a stock pan. My motor came out of a motorhome and had a front sump pan.

Will a mini starter out of a dakota with a V6 work on a big block. It is a stock build 440 so it doesn't have a high compression ratio.

I am finishing up the assembly on my 440 and I noticed there isn't an oil slinger on the crank. This is my first big block so I just want to make sure, is it supposed to have an oil slinger or is that small block only?

I have 3 rear ends I am swapping parts out of, all 3 are Dana 60. I will call them 1,2,& 3 to try to eliminate confusion. #1 is in the vehicle and has 4:10 gears with open carrier. #2 has 4:10 gears and sure grip. #3 has 3:55 gears and open carrier. I want to use the sure grip from #2 and put...

I have a 75 440 out of a motor home. I am doing a cheap rebuild but have a couple questions. The motor has low miles, everything inside looks really good except #8 cylinder was seized from sitting for a long time. My plans are to hone the cylinders, get new rings, bearings, cam, and gasket set...
