I restored my 87 ram d100 from a 1 barrel slant 6 daily driver, to a nice 446 big block.

We own China just as much as they own us. Without us buying all their cheap crap they wouldn't have anyone to sell to. North America is their main purchaser. So my advice to everyone is, try as much as possible to boycott buying chinese stuff. If you look around their is a lot of stuff made in...

I spray some fog oil in my 440 and let it stall out, then plug the exhaust pipes with tennis balls. Wouldn't hurt to back the rocker arms off though, if you have the time.

run it

I think a stock replacement oil pump would work fine. What other option is there if his is pooched? Its either replace or don't run an oil pump.

I was in grade 7,The principal came in and told us about it

Get an old shop manual and check all clearances on your oil pump with feeler gauges. Clean it thoroughly, if it is out of spec or not smooth when cleaned and oiled. get a new one

Don't bother with barrie. When I first started going 5 years ago it was good. I have been almost every year except this spring. And now that I hear they are gouging people 5 dollars to park I wont go back. Also there is next to nothing there for mopar, like 5 to 10 vendors out of hundreds.

It is probably a 4.89 gear ratio. I have a 741 Centre section from an early A body in this ratio. Came factory equipped.

Rebuild it yourself. If you rebuilt an engine you can do an trans. Just use the chassis manual with the exploded view diagrams. I bought a seal and gasket kit for my 727 it was 70 dollars, and I went over it myself.

or just manhandle the big cast iron beast.

These parts wont fit 72 up trucks will they? The mounts and pan look different.

That sounds like a 3 piece kickdown linkage to me. What is it for?

I have also taken so much from your posts on here rusty, Like mentioned above just thin the herd a bit to get by. You may want to get out of the hobby, but the hobby won't let you. Its more of a lifelong addiction lol. Just remember, karma always pays off. You have helped us all so much on here...

Keep the pics coming, I love seeing a build come together. I'm attracted to new shiny things lol.

There are a lot of possibilities of what went wrong. There is supposed to be a manual handbrake applied every 10 train cars, to prevent this. I smell negligence in the air.

shift seal if its on pan, bellhousing should have a drip if its the front seal.

Glad you got the issue solved, once your oil soaks into the valve guide,and it gets moving again. I'm sure it will loosen back up.

updates on your problem?

I personally removed my inner springs for break in, I actually haven't had a chance to put them back in yet either. Also I used comp cams 15w50 break in oil in my 440

Yes if your lifter came out of bore your push rod is most likely bent too. So you will have a loose rocker arm on that particular lifter. As for if your oil pickup is bent, put like a clean piece of wood that is about 1/2" thick in pan. Your pickup should be about 3/8 inch off pan bottom. So...

nice one, I use Vaseline all the time too. I used it to put my 727 together !

To me the lifter out of bore sounds like the most likely culprit.

Good score on a big block. The way I see it, pick them while you can. They won't be around forever, and are becoming more rare. As neil young says rust never sleeps.

To my understanding block filler is only used for drag race applications where the engine doesn't run for long periods of time. It does strengthen the block, but I would be afraid cooling would be an issue.

Like mentioned above, get all the money you can out of them. But personally there is nothing to worry about with pipelines. I work with Enbridge and the pipelines are very safe if not tampered with. The Trans canada pipeline runs right through the area I live. It is twin 24" pipes. After...

I over revved my old 360 one time. It was running real rough and gutless afterward. I took the v cover off at my buddies. All looked fine. I sprayed water on the rad to cool it down too. When I left I guess the oil pressure pumped the lifter back up and all was fine.

Looks good, what did your d150 have before for an engine? It will sure haul *** now. My 440 that i built twists mine sideways a bit when you come onto it from a stop. Then when you let off all the weight goes back down on the front suspension. Its very sweet :-)

That's kinda cool, medical tourism. I can't believe medical insurance costs that much money. Thank god I'm in Canada for that one reason.

I agree with Rani, the 440 sure puts a smile on my face. Plus you can have like 3 of them for the price of a hemi.
