Good engines, but not all of the 400 are the strongest out there, just certain cast numbers only the rest are as good as any 383 or 440

X2 here back in the day and we are talking about 12 years ago and the engine still running today, i did shift my 4 speed at 7,500 from 1st to 2nd and to 3rd 4th gear usually i shift at lower rpm's cuz the other guy already quit and trust me that car i use to beat on it more than 4 days a week on...

OK i have read all the comments here and i just come to a conclusion, Lets be real here, If he build the 440 it will last for ever no mater what he trow at it remember guys this is no race car here and he don't need 900 HP. All in all a well built & tuned 440 will give him 450+ HP in a budget...

so what about the victor intake i think i read in a magazine it will outperform the m1 and the dual plane rpm in a A body car.

i never use the 4 gaskets not even one, just the valey pan as a gasket with the blue liquid gasket and a litlle rtv to seal the front and back thats it and never had a problem with it, and thats was with iron heads only never try it with aluminum heads, now i will try to use the gaskets with the...

It happens to me once, that the oil pump shaft splits in 2 and cuz a litlle pice of rust from an overlook rusted windage tray stuck in the oil pump, and sized the pump spliting the shaft in 2, and no oil preasure, good thing i just caught it in a second and shut it off til change the windage...

Understood:cheers:

yeap but the push rod itself didnt need the lubrication from the lifter or the rocker for its ends? it is a solid pice?

thats what i tough thanks did someone have something else to say?

OK here is my questions, 1- when changing from hydraulic to solid lifter cam is there a procediure like blocking oil passage to the lifter gallies or something like that? 2- When using roller rockers with the ball type adjuster screw is it necesary to drill the screw for lubrication? I...

What you guys think about these rocker arm set? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-383-440-DODGE-MOPAR-SHAFT-MOUNT-STAINLESS-ROCKERS_W0QQitemZ270529403190QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3efccf1936 I just want you guys to chime in and revew these rocker arms...

It really looks amaizing! But all the plumbing setup inside the plenums wont affect the air flow of the intake? Just an observation here!:dontknow:

i like hedmans i wish i can afford that setup!

No 383 anymore i get to score a 440 steel crank engine and going for a N/A all motor mechanical cam setup enoug for 500 hp, if set up perfect, if i think i need the boost later on it will be a easy thing for me to do!

yes you are right, but i have a nice 383 already :D so why not give it a try?

Awesome info my friend i really want to test the blow tru carb as i have seen so many of them doing so well that i am amazed and want to try it, if i dont think i like it trust me i will switch right away to EFI, and yeap the pistons will be my big hole on the pocket, and i need to deal with it...

Noooo my friend you get it wrong, i did really need your advise guys, so i can compare, and do my own reaserch, as i did before with the imports, there is no need to be upset, and by no means i will be pissing on anybody, and also no need to tell me to go back to toyotas when this could benefit...

Well i really apresiate your advise but, that Corcky bell guy is a JOKE in my personal Opinion, a guy that try to sell you a turbo blow tru carb for a 4 bangger for $4000+ to achive just 6 to 10 PSI of boost is a JOKE in my books i have been in the 5.57 1/8 mile zone on carb blow tru system...

Never like it and excuse me for this but i consider the megasquirt a fail to happen, not that i havent see people that have good result with it but, i always said; a Stand alone system is as good as the one behind the programming, me bieng a Microtech dealer and have test both systems, really...

Well i find myself in a litlle bind on locating low compression forged pistons for a 383 B engine kind of odd i can find all for 440 and 400 but for 383 thats suposed to be the bread and butter for chrysler i cand find a good afordable set to get at least 9.0 to 1 CR. Can someone point me in...

yes but i am trying to keep down the initial cost i may switch later on, but for now i want blow tru carb!

Yeap i did see those profile and compare "em prety simmilar, HAHAHAA this is getting very interesting and now i am in a point of no return about this turbo thing on the 383, I want to know if the blow tru carb setup is really consistent, i use to deal with blow tru Webber carbs and they runn...

Awesome Read there, i can tell you this is very diferent from the imports, i have done 1000 whp on 2jz engines and 9.0 CR but this is amaizing i can get real close with pump gas, and i cant imagin if i use race gas ufffff this is getting interesting i am getting the swing too quick and i like it!

Really i dont want that low of a compression ratio, i dont want to lack of to much off the boost power and really dont want to boosted too much eather to reach my goal also i will be running a intercooler to compensate for too much heat on the intake charge. what you think?

Yes i know about the 400 b Block, and the reason of been in the 450 at low boost levels is the option to be at about 700+ whp if needed but i dont think i'll be in that range or better said i wont risk to be in that power level with the 383 block untill i score a good 400 block to test the 383...

Well no more 383 intentions, too much PITA to find what i want, and no more turbo setup for now, A 440 build is on the procces and all in pump gas setup and N/A (FOR NOW) if i think more is needed i'll do the change in the future!
