Remember this whenever some EV clown tells you that you can still take your dinosaur to the track

That car is sweet, hope he drives the piss out of it

But Uncle Tony swears the 3rd gens cam is splash lubed!

Only time i've every had true vapor lock was on an 85 Honda sabre with a V4. The engines one these always ran hot, you could get it almost boiling pulling off a highway in summer, otherwise it always seems to be a symptom of a larger issue.

Did you say you did have a fan shroud? Another thing is that the more horsepower you add the hotter the engine gets as a rule. Finally I would say some people are of the opinion that dense radiators like this don't allow as much airflow through. I've not experienced one side or the other but...

I had an S10 once that would all but die when warm let it idle for a bit and it would go again for a period of time. Cats were clogged, just another thing to look at.

If I remember, the 452s are really good down low. Nothing to sneeze at but if you wanted they have room for port. A 440 is one of those engines that just can help but making power even in its weakest iterations.

That thread on the low comp 440 crapping out 500 footpounds of torque and it can run 87? I'd be sold.

Sorry i'll fix that

Put new rings and bearings in it. Has an oil pan for an A-body with the cut. This comes with a boat anchor intake and B body headers. I have new exhaust manifold studs not installed and a water pump impeller. The thermoquad in the picture has a cracked float body housing but if you want it you...

I have had a few cars knock on me, if you ever heard a late 90's/early 00's GM start up, they get a knock on the first cylinder to fire almost always, it's that very metallic rattle. Now newer cars with direct injection knock on startup, it's very annoying. Low-speed pre-ignition - Wikipedia Had...

A lot of Mopar people i have spoken to also don't know that on the factory stamped rockers, the pushrod bowl is off center and they need to be matched up but it's one the first things i noticed when I cracked open my 440.

He is an extremely helpful guy

Thanks for the info, I work at a place that does a lot of freight shipping which unfortunately would be how it has to go I believe. not sure if i trust UPS with the housing which is my issue.

Made this from a B body axle in a jig. Painted the housing with chassis saver. No cracks or bends, studs aren't marred up. Comes with SBP axles and backing plates. For $50 more I'll throw in the shock plates. Local pickup from 19363, not sure how i can ship this out but if i figure it out i will...

I'll play devils advocate here and ask this question, how often does a reputable fuel pump go out that's been plumbed correctly? Almost every single car on the road today has electronic fuel pumps, they're even computerized now. If you buy an Autozone clicker pump then yes I'd say you may be in...

I have a floor shift A230 with linkages and rods for sale WILL NOT SELL RODS SEPARATE DONT ASK. Internals are damn near perfect just needs some seals and it's a small front bearing retainer. Can’t ship yet as I don’t have a box big enough, will change this when I can find packaging. Can be...

I can take $600 for the car. Yes I have a title for the car.

Had this happen with a Ford, there was just enough of a gap in the rad hose to pull air into the cooling system.

Understood, it's still here!

Yes i still have the car, You wanted just the bare axles housing is that correct?

The road salt is vicious around here, I'm scared of fully boxed frames for this reason. I'd be willing to buy a lift just so I can get my cars in the air for undercoating.

Agreed, especially for a motorhome engine you should at least rering/bearing the engine but also check the taper/bore because these things do get beat. Swapping the tailshaft also lets you look at the internal state of the transmission which could also be beat. Just my thoughts. My 440 had...

I had given thought to it but i've really lost my desire to keep putting money into it unfortunately. Might buy a nice Cordoba and throw the 440 into one if I really get the itch again.

Worked at an Infiniti dealer for a while and never heard of that. The rear end for the cars have rubber mounts though. I'd unbolt the axles where they meet the carrier and shake it all around. It has a viscous coupling inside though I'm pretty sure

Last two major pieces i needed was front brake conversion and rear axles for LBP, the axles got backordered at doctor diff but if i used SBP axles i would need new brake setups. Then i realized i also really should have frame connectors and torque boxes. around this time my 78 Ford engine...

This is why i'm giving up on mine, thousands and thousands in parts and i still don't have everything i need. I didn't even want to put a 440 in mine but a MH 440 was the cheapest engine i could get.

RB blocks almost need 69 HP manifolds to clear the steering shaft, even then the accepted solution was to cut the steering shaft sleeve because it's pretty tight.

I've used naval jelly which is the same sort of acid as vinegar before. It only took a few seconds for flash rusting to occur so I avoid it as much as possible now

IIRC the length of the driveshaft would necessitate a carrier bearing possibly. I've swapped the tailshaft before and it's not that difficult plus it gives you a chance to see how beat your clutch packs are.
