    Yeah, I came across a thread somewhere where a guy dynoed a whiplash and made around 400/400

    Getting the most out of a low comp 440

    Yeah, that motor is long gone...starting over with two I haven't opened yet...probably go with KB quench pistons.

    Getting the most out of a low comp 440

    Waiting on paperwork to flip the barn find. just bought a ‘68 short bed 383 today. The 383 will need at least gone thru. I have another 440 moho to pick up tomorrow…so maybe it will end up 440.

    Getting the most out of a low comp 440

    so I posted this somewhere else, should have posted it here. I’m back! There goes the neighborhood! Got another moho 440 and working on getting another ‘68 truck to stick it in. Actually also working on getting another later model “barn find” truck that’s already equipped with a 440. Will...

    Stock short block,440 builds....

    Hi gents, I’m back. I gave up on my truck and 440 and sold it. Not doing that again. Got a free ‘77ish moho the other day for the 440. Working on getting a clean ’68 D200 to put it in. I’ll probably have to do pistons (open to budget recommendations but KB quench pads look like a good idea?)...

    Stopping the knock: Lower compression and ported heads...

    I'm no engine expert, but I solve other mechanical problems for work and otherwise. You gotta measure everything and nail it down, write it down. There's lots of guys here that can help, but without good hard data, they are in the dark. A picture is worth a thousand words, but doesn't give...

    Stopping the knock: Lower compression and ported heads...

    Absolutely necessary in a situation like this. I'd consider retarding it if it was me. Edit: yeah, I'm a genius and didn't see the other pages of posts since the one I quoted...

    Getting the most out of a low comp 440

    No paymenets, the diesel was a steal, all it cost was my little sweptline nest egg, which I actually had started saving to fix my last diesel. Shouldn't be too much of a setback, just until I can sell the 4runner and some other twiddly bits, hopefully after the holidays, my machinist buddy just...

    Getting the most out of a low comp 440

    Good news and bad news. I stumbled on a '97 2500 4x4 Cummins Dodge Ram for a steal Sunday...there goes the Sweptline budget, until I can sell some of my other junk. Maybe just a bone stock cheap ring n bearings rebuild on the 440 for now, and try it that way, if for no other reason than so...
