I restored my 87 ram d100 from a 1 barrel slant 6 daily driver, to a nice 446 big block.

We own China just as much as they own us. Without us buying all their cheap crap they wouldn't have anyone to sell to. North America is their main purchaser. So my advice to everyone is, try as much as possible to boycott buying chinese stuff. If you look around their is a lot of stuff made in...

I spray some fog oil in my 440 and let it stall out, then plug the exhaust pipes with tennis balls. Wouldn't hurt to back the rocker arms off though, if you have the time.

run it

I think a stock replacement oil pump would work fine. What other option is there if his is pooched? Its either replace or don't run an oil pump.

I was in grade 7,The principal came in and told us about it

Get an old shop manual and check all clearances on your oil pump with feeler gauges. Clean it thoroughly, if it is out of spec or not smooth when cleaned and oiled. get a new one

Don't bother with barrie. When I first started going 5 years ago it was good. I have been almost every year except this spring. And now that I hear they are gouging people 5 dollars to park I wont go back. Also there is next to nothing there for mopar, like 5 to 10 vendors out of hundreds.

It is probably a 4.89 gear ratio. I have a 741 Centre section from an early A body in this ratio. Came factory equipped.

Rebuild it yourself. If you rebuilt an engine you can do an trans. Just use the chassis manual with the exploded view diagrams. I bought a seal and gasket kit for my 727 it was 70 dollars, and I went over it myself.

or just manhandle the big cast iron beast.

These parts wont fit 72 up trucks will they? The mounts and pan look different.

That sounds like a 3 piece kickdown linkage to me. What is it for?

I have also taken so much from your posts on here rusty, Like mentioned above just thin the herd a bit to get by. You may want to get out of the hobby, but the hobby won't let you. Its more of a lifelong addiction lol. Just remember, karma always pays off. You have helped us all so much on here...

Keep the pics coming, I love seeing a build come together. I'm attracted to new shiny things lol.
