72 Scamp 440 Build
Now that I have the car there was the need for a 440, there was a 79 motorhome 440 in a local junkyard it seemed to be a good block, I was loaded up and taken home for tear down and rebuild.
At the junkyard
\
Heads are off and the #4 cylinder is corroded and stuck(Why it was in the junkyard)
Off to Machine Shop for cleaning and boring(block was sonar tested and turned out to be a thin wall block and #3,4,5,6 needed to be sleeved)
Using "Math" to figure out the piston rock to find the current deck on the four corners(Decked to .005)
Painting the block Por 15 Hemi Orange
Crank, and Pistons installed
440 Source stock stroke replacement crank with ARP main cap studs, H beam rods and their Platinum .030 over pistons
440 Source Stealth Heads with 1.5 ratio roller rockers, ARP Head Studs, custom pushrods, and Mancini ABody oil pan kit installed.
Valve covers and Edelbrock Victor JR powder black intake installed
Holly 850 CFM Ultra double pumper, MSD distributor, Schumacher ABody swap headers and 440 Source water pump and front end kit in place
