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...
