Variable hydraulic lifters for 440 engine
Nope, after some scientific investigation i found the part number engraved in the camshaft flange, behind the sprocket. See picture.
I had checked the cam events of intake and exhaust valve:
There is a bit of deviation in the readings compared to the cam specs, forgive me my unexperienced way of measuring a camshaft...i was a virgin. :D
But it is very close to the cam specs so it cannot be a different cam.
Intake: @ 0.050"
Valve open: 13* BTDC
Valve close: 44* ABDC
Duration: 237*
Centerline: 105.5*
Exhaust: @ 0.050"
Valve open: 51* BBDC
Valve close: 13* ATDC
Duration: 244*
Centerline: 109*
I even checked it by going @ .050" from the cam nose:
Intake:
Cam nose: @ 0.050" . Centerline: 105,5*
Valve open: 33* BBDC
Valve close: 64* ATDC
Exhaust:
Cam nose: @ 0.050" . Centerline: 109,5*
Valve open: 26* ABDC
Valve close: 65* BTDC
When checking the valve train for the correct length push rod to order i did measure more lift than as per cam specs.
i had measured multiple times but i found .578/.580" lift.
Who knows, from what i heard from the Mopar society here some said the had seen this car somewhere in the late 90's as it is.
If the car had been redone (painted, engine overhaul, etc) in those days i know for sure that the availability of parts was not so easy as it is now with the internet web shops, international shipping, etc.
So digging up some parts from various old cars was easier and cheaper to do.
I know for a fact this car was "restored" with parts from a 1970 Coronet, i am quite sure they have taken the rear axle of that and put it on this car. (4.10 ratio with sure grip....track pak axle)
My car originally had a 22" radiator so it came with a 3.23 ratio rear axle....any axle package would have added a 26" radiator.
For all i know they took the converter of that car as well and installed it also on this car, and that converter could have been not the original one from that car but an aftermarket one.
I know the VIN of the 1970 car...long story, don't ask, but that had a 318 2bbl engine.
If they used the TC of that car in here, maybe unlikely, or anything else they could find locally, but who knows what it does behind a BB.
