One more question please, the rear main is leaking a bit. I think a 440 has a 2 piece seal but does a Wedge Mega Block have a 1 piece?

What is a general total timing Big blocks like. 34* like a Small block? Every engine is different, I know.

i'll look tomorrow but right now I think its Indy EZ. The dyno sheet was run with a carb not the EFI and the timing is locked out and set to 30*. When I'm done reconfiguring it'll be controlled by the EFI. I have FiTech on my own 340 and it runs well so I was elected (volunteered) to try and...

So just to finish the info on this mega block engine. It isn't a siamese block which is good for us. I dont know if the pics of the dual plane manifold are good enough but it is a Indy piece. (I just looked back at my original post mistake where I said it had AFR heads instead of Indy, My...

I thought it was 71 because I found 12-6-1 cast on the block. After reading the Mega Block write up I'm sure that's what the block is and it is a 2001 cast. Going to look later and I hope I don't find MOPAR over the numbers.

I am aware that the EFI is totally separate. We were just doing detective work on the engine. I'll post the dimensions and dyno numbers from the builder soon, I didn't think they were looking like a 440. I thought maybe they stroked a 400 for him but then I found the casting numbers. I'm just...

No I'm not sure, every web site I looked at said 426 Hemi. The engine is built and running for a few years now in the car (63 Sport Fury Convert) What pics would help?

I'm new to BBC (been SBC for life to far) and I'm trying to sort out a friends FiTech system. Also trying to figure out his engine. He thought the shop built him a stroked 440. They called it a 501. I found 246 8330-M on the block casting number. My research keeps coming up the block was born as...

High grade trim could be because the inside of the doors were painted a different colour than the body.??

does it have stock manifolds with a noisy heat riser valve.?

Check out Coveritcanada. They are in Windsor. I wraped my 67 wheel with a few layers of grip tape and ordered a cover for the exact new size. I wanted a little thicker grip. Then did the baseball stitch like OE leather wheels. I love it now.

10 cold 30 hot. 10 cold 40 hot. The 10w40 has more viscosity when hot but same on cold start.

10w30 and 10w40 are both the same weight on cold start. That's what the 10 means.

I never do it with the heads on. Dial indicator to find TDC and set the degree wheel. Do it with only #1 piston in and it's easier to get small movements, less friction.
