I finally got my car running and to the track
The engine is a 67 440. I bought it for $2500 already done but never run. I took it to a good engine builder and had him tear it down and it was a complete screw up. Too many problems to list but luckily nothing too hard to correct. It's a stock forged 440 crank, Eagle rods, Speed Pro forged flat top that weigh 720 grams. Stock bearing caps and bolts. It had 906 heads with big valves and springs in it but I shelved those and bought 440 Source CNC heads and put Comp springs, retainers and locks on them. I also had them milled .050 to raise the. Compression. I ditched the MOPAR 509 cam and went with a Comp Extreme Energy 296 street solid roller and COMP lifters. It has Smith bros push rods and Crane Gold rockers which I'm going to swap for better stainless rockers, the Crane alum ones were in the engine when I bought it. I also installed the MRL top end oiling kit thanks to bOb Shinglers warning. I topped the engine with an out of the box Torker II and a Holley 850 double pumper I bought off eBay. I use an MSD Pro billet distributor and a 6AL box. Timing is 20 initial and 37 total all in by 2000 rpm. The cylinder cranking pressure is 210 psi. I heard a slight rattle once at throttle tip in and it dieseled once when I shut it off so I've been using Turbo 108 off road octane booster and it's working good. I also have a Milodon 7 quart pan which I'm changing out cuz I've already banged it twice so I'm going with a custom pan I'll fab myself, with a more shallow, wide sump and baffles. Also going to fab my own bigger headers with multi piece individual tubes. I'm going to send the tubes for cylinders one and two strait down through the K frame. The car will always keep the stock K frame and torsion bars and stock power steering so the headers will be a big challenge.
