I bought a FT Comp cam and lifters to put in my spare 440 that currently has no cam at all. I got the cam lube and break in oil to go with it, and some more VR1. This engine will be lower compression, but at least the truck will be running. I’m sure some of you will tell me Comp Cams is trash...

How important are these little wedge shaped things on the factory oil rings? I lost a few of them and they don’t seem to do anything. The upper and lower oil rings seem to hold the middle ring in place

I used Scott’s Machine in Fayetteville Ga for this engine and the one in my Duster. I’m not blaming this on them though. They’ve always done good work. I haven’t been to any local shops around me but I’ve heard there’s a good guy in Sylvania. I just bought a low mileage Winnebago 440 that I was...

Cam lobe in question

After draining the oil I was optimistic about not having to rebuild the whole engine again. But then I cut the oil filter open… The material in the filter isn’t magnetic so it must be bearing chunks. I’m sick

I have the 440source hemi pan as well. Needed a wack from the hammer to clear. I’d go with the first one pictured

For being a lifter, it sure does have me down. These were Elgin lifters made in Mexico during the “pandemic”. The 15 other ones look fine to the naked eye.

I might just go with a roller cam. But I’ve heard nightmare stories about those too.

Valvoline VR1

My RamCharger started acting up a few weeks ago. I thought it was an issue with the Holley Sniper EFI that I’ve had so many other issues with, but it turns out one of my lifters decided to wear a hole into itself. Not sure if the cam is hurt or not but I wouldn’t be surprised. I did a full...

Bought a tractor yesterday and it came with some implements. One of which is an auger. This thing sure looks a lot like a 8.75 center chunk.

I’d take the Weiner Mobile!

Hurry up and bend it before some naysayer shows up with some bullshit

I think both LCAs need to be close to full droop when installing the torsion bars. It doesn’t matter how the bars themselves are rotated but there is a left side and a right side. They should be stamped on the back

Back when I still had drums I went to the parts store and bought the shortest pre made lines with the right fittings and coiled them up

3/8s There’s another number on it too. 2212MX

Crank to PS pump only. I have an electric water pump

The belt I have on mine was a spare from something else but is numbered 15425. It’s almost too big but works for now

The pickup mounts are about 3/4” thicker and have about 1” less offset. I have a pickup mount on my passenger side. It works but it’s not easy

I would’ve taken more pictures but that’s the only angle my phone fits down there lol

My motor mount has been cut in half and also smashed. It’s shimmed on both sides and I have minimal clearance between everything. I don’t think it hits anywhere though. I have a QA1 K btw

I lifted the drivers side of the engine and left the header attached. My mini starter is removable with everything else still in place.

I’m definitely a V8 guy, but I’d much rather have an I6 over a V6

Sounds pretty similar to the Crown Vic swap. But I’m already committed to doing this and I don’t mind the challenge.

Never seen one of those. If I had it I’d probably lift it on some Dana 60/70s and 37s lol

I’m finally getting around to starting on my ‘71 D100 that I’ve had sitting in the background. When I bought this truck, it “yard drove”. Floors were as strong as a used paper straw and more see through than your screen door, brakes nonexistent, and the steering was like trying to lead an...

If you’re starting from scratch, a big block is not much more expensive than a small block, but since you already have a small block, it would definitely be cheaper to stay with a small block if you’re not going to be making big changes. My Duster was a roller when I got it and I found a decent...

I decided to take it to a local welding shop and see what they could do. I think it looks pretty good and the bolt threads in clean now. I guess we’ll see if it holds. I’ll probably take it to a machine shop soon to get it bored and decked. I’m going to loctite a stud into the hole to...
