I'm dropping a 440 in my dart and getting ready to move so I need to clear out space. I'd hate to see this go to the scrap yard but that's almost where I'm at. This is for local pick up only. Castro valley Ca All parts are original factory parts from my 69 dart 1. 10" front drums (knuckle...

I found the highway 22 kit on summit for 100 dollars cheaper than on the AAW site. Same manufacture part number. It just shipped so fingers crossed.

I tried calling AAW but their offices are closed so I will ask the question here. The mopar kit is 1000, the highway 22 kit is 550. Besides keeping the mopar wiring colors what makes the mopar kit worth the extra 500?? Has anyone installed either? Thanks for any advice and help!

Pulling out the 273 from my 69 dart and dropping in a 440 pushing about 400 - 500hp. I've been looking at TCI but I dont know a whole lot and I'm nervous to commit. This car will be a weekend cruiser with the occasional summer drag. With so many options out there it gets confusing for a first...

Randy over at logestein racing built my 440. He does really good clean work and I will definitely be going back. Sometimes it takes a while for a call back but worth the wait. I would keep calling

Are those 73+ spindles big ball joint? I messed up and order the big ball joints on my UCA's but my spindles are little ball joint. Getting those brakes might save me a step. I plan on going to at least 15s probably around the size you mentioned.

Pulling the 273 out of my dart soon. Hasn't ran in a couple years...it was backfiring pretty bad last time I drove it. The distributor has petronix and the crank pulley is 2 groove aluminum. The timing gears went out while I was on the freeway resulting in a couple bent rods. Had the heads...

Do you think I need to go bigger than 11inch rotors for the power (500+) and my usage (cruiser/drag)

Hey thanks for all the info guys! The feedback was useful and greatly appreciated. Due to my budget and time restraints I went hotchkis with pst torsion bars and greasable lca pivot shafts. Brakes are up in the air still, but most likely wilwood or dr. Diff. The car will be mostly a weekend...

I guess I'll be third runner up

Hey guys I'm back after a long hiatus. Randy over at logestein racing built me a very nice 440 so it's time to pull the dart out of storage and get it ready for it's heart transplant. I've decided to opt out of a slick coil over setup. I was looking at the rms alterkation but I don't have 5k to...

Thanks for the info guys! A coworker hooked me up with loge stein racing in clayton. Anyone used them before? Their Facebook shows their race cars and shop space. Looks legit

Thanks again for the input. I filed the ruins to the kb spec fuss came with shipping. I'm talking with a company near me called loge stein racing. Mopar guys. I figured while I had it back apart for balancing I might as well opt for a steel crank and internal balance.

**** me right? Thanks for all the feed back..except for that lumberjack talking about swinging hammers. Since I'll be bringing it in for a balance...anything else I should know or have done while it's apart?

I know the KB pistons are a bit lighter but I figured coming from the factory they would all be close in weight. So if the rod weight didn't change and the pistons all weigh the same that would make the weight across each rod/piston drop the same? Does having a lighter rod/piston throw anything...

Any good ones around the sf Bay area?

I'm building a 1978 440 for my dart. The block was in great shape with low milage so I'm reusing almost everything. I did however swap out the stock pistons for a set of KB hypereutectic with valve relief. But still using stock rods and crank. I was so excited to get everything back from the...

My block is a 78 440 from a van/rv . I pulled a build sheet from hotrod.com and am going for 5-550 horsepower. It's a budget build so my bottom end is stock with the exception of some kb hyperuetech pistols and a comp cams xe285hl cam. Im ready to reinstall the balancer and my questions are: Is...

Building up a 78 440 for a bit over 500 horse. I'm putting the short block together and I'm looking at the clevite "H" series bearings. Just curious with other people experience using them or if there are better bearings available. Also...could I get some recommendations on good pistons for...

First pic is the seized cylinder. Gross right? Then there's the block often it's cleaning and finally painting. Still not sure what building I'm going for on the engine but a little more clamping power won't hurt either build so I went with miloden main studs and arp rod bolts.

A little background first. This car has been in my friends family for decades, on Wed by their aunt who had it garaged for about 20 years prior ro them aquiring it. It was first given to the second youngest son of 7 children who thought it was too big and hard to park. He sold it to his brother...

I'm about to drop a 440 in my 69 dart. It's an original 273 car and I've noticed this 440 is quite a bit heavier. I'm curious what other guys are doing to beef up their suspension. I know a disc brake conversion is in my future but what about new shocks and springs? What are the better brands in...

I knew brakes and suspension had to be upgraded...already have the 8 3/4 rear...looking for a sure grip to install. Thanks for the info on the mounts. Basically the whole car is stock and needs rebuilding. Motor and tranny first then brakes and suspension. Any recommendations on brake...

would you recommend the torque straps and tranny mounts as well? I'm not familiar with how much vibration these 440s dish out

Will I have to change the k frame as well? Or just different motor mounts?

i'm about to buy a 1977 440 w/727 trans. its from a van and has 47k on it. i've been reading that there are subtle differences on these engines, mainly the heads, intake, and water pump can be different. also i noticed on the rear of the engine...bolted to the trans bolts there is a metal plate...

Ok folks, here we go. I drive an all original 1969 Dart 273. I've replaced both the alternator and VR once before but one day while driving i noticed the Ammeter was fluctuating pretty rapidly between the middle and 'C' side(right) of the gauge and the headlights and dash lights strobed with...

My volt meter does twitch while blinkers are operational...and when my wipers are on....and when headlights are turned on and off... Thanks for the input. I'll check all my connections and grounds...if all else fails...i have been meaning to install a new harness, this is my excuse

So I'm not the best with electrical and need some pointers here. I have a all original 69 dart, still original wiring. I had to replace the alternator when my battery died and since my blinkers have been blinking very very slowly, when i come to a red light or stand still they dont blink at...

I've been having some resistance trying to find info on a 1973 cadillac superior hearse. I've got the vin decoded but it still doesnt give me the info i need. I want chassis info, body info...the vin says its a 'short sill cowl' body type but google gives me NOTHING on that!!! Anything will...
