Yeah, I came across a thread somewhere where a guy dynoed a whiplash and made around 400/400

comments on just getting everything from 440source?

Yeah, that motor is long gone...starting over with two I haven't opened yet...probably go with KB quench pistons.

Whiplash cam on the dyno

Waiting on paperwork to flip the barn find. just bought a ‘68 short bed 383 today. The 383 will need at least gone thru. I have another 440 moho to pick up tomorrow…so maybe it will end up 440.

so I posted this somewhere else, should have posted it here. I’m back! There goes the neighborhood! Got another moho 440 and working on getting another ‘68 truck to stick it in. Actually also working on getting another later model “barn find” truck that’s already equipped with a 440. Will...

Hi gents, I’m back. I gave up on my truck and 440 and sold it. Not doing that again. Got a free ‘77ish moho the other day for the 440. Working on getting a clean ’68 D200 to put it in. I’ll probably have to do pistons (open to budget recommendations but KB quench pads look like a good idea?)...

In :-)

Bump/subscribed.

I'm in the edge of my seat, but it ain't fixed yet.

Nothin matters til then

I'm no engine expert, but I solve other mechanical problems for work and otherwise. You gotta measure everything and nail it down, write it down. There's lots of guys here that can help, but without good hard data, they are in the dark. A picture is worth a thousand words, but doesn't give...

Absolutely necessary in a situation like this. I'd consider retarding it if it was me. Edit: yeah, I'm a genius and didn't see the other pages of posts since the one I quoted...

No paymenets, the diesel was a steal, all it cost was my little sweptline nest egg, which I actually had started saving to fix my last diesel. Shouldn't be too much of a setback, just until I can sell the 4runner and some other twiddly bits, hopefully after the holidays, my machinist buddy just...

Good news and bad news. I stumbled on a '97 2500 4x4 Cummins Dodge Ram for a steal Sunday...there goes the Sweptline budget, until I can sell some of my other junk. Maybe just a bone stock cheap ring n bearings rebuild on the 440 for now, and try it that way, if for no other reason than so...

I read in one of my 440 books that you want duration .050" lift to be 85% of Advertised lift, or more, and the more it is, the quicker the ramp is.

I run a machine and welding shop so manifold is cake. Don't like the expense and complication of EFI but I know that's where it's at...and a TQuad isn't super simple anyway.

If spending money on the build saved me money on fuel, it might make sense was kinda my idea.

Jim's got a point, and it's sharp. I'll probably do the block up right. Also fuel tank relocation battery relocation, 200# solid steel bumper. I'll weigh it, maybe under 4 now, 440, bigger axle, bumper, prolly push it over. Slicks would be kool if I had a track to run 'em on. I got miles of...

One thing to remember is traction laction 70-40 weight distribution...

Went and played with RPM and 1/4 ET calcs. 400 hp = 12.xx 106 mph. 4.56 puts me at 5xxx Rpm at 100 mph Played with camquest.com, discovered dyno simulator. Wow, cool! Ported heads with bigger valves, 9.5:1, intake, headers, yadda yadda, and the XE275HL 479hp 5xx tq. Weee!

Here's what I'm currently smokin'. I may be leaning a little toward the high RPM side for a 4k vehicle, but I can't stand engines that run out of breath too soon. A lot of this is influenced by QuickD100, who ran lowbuck 440s bout like this in a truck into the 12s, and IQ52's low comp dyno...

My pistons are 150" in the hole. Shooting for about 9:1 Good article, fun read.

I'm cast. Heavier recip parts = more weight = Mallory = $$$ by the time I get done boring, buying pistons, balancing. Crap. Is there a chance there is a stock bore piston that is taller but weighs the same as the stock piston?

What are the pros and cons, or which is better tween alum and tri? Thanks

What's the skinny? Budget 440 build maybe 400 hp Thanks

These are the two large cities I'm closest to, and going to be spending some time in them (no more than I have to) and wondered what I should look for whilst there for entertainment. Mopar/muscle/hotrod shops, clubs cruises, etc.?

What exactly were the specs of that 318 and Ram? I like the small turbo the spools up at low RPM to boost mpg theory.

It can be done inexpensively with good results according to this article. I have a slant, and I'd try it...but I think the hole in the side of the block might leak all the boost out! (that was a joke, har har...) http://www.allpar.com/fix/holler/slant-six-turbo.html I thought about a small...

More than three gears would definitely help. RPM gaps in my 318 727 are huge, poor little 318 luggin' it's heart out. Can't have too many gears. I thought about sticking my NV4500 (truck 5spd OD with granny first) behind my 440 in my D100 and gearing the rear to the moon. 4500 worked pretty...
