Like the title states, I am in need of stripped rust free 73 and up big block K-frame, or a set od LA to RB conversion spool motor mounts.

Well the driving has gone well, I have put a few more miles on it, changed the oil and cut open the filter. It is clean as new no glitter at all. I realy need to work on stiffing the chassis up. I definitely have door gap growing on the drivers side and the passenger is shrinking. I also have...

I didnt want to do a cage or roll bar set up, but i think that may be my only real way to get it as stiff as I need.

I spent the weekend, tidying things up in the engine bay. I have also done around another 150 miles on the car. I cruised around town and then did a small stint out into the open country. It was a fun and glorious day on the road, in an old squeaky rattle box MOPAR... To note: I have a...

She is alive!!!!! It has to be a she for how temperamental she is. Saturday we installed the engine with no dramas. Sunday we started her up. She fired up on the first crank, following the break in procedure from Hughes to the letter. We shut it down installed the middle springs, Changed the...

IT's all good. I have gotten a lot of good advise, some good information, and better yet a way to get my frustration out. I just know it will all be worth it when my Dad is at the drag strip getting in the car to run.... with his big grin.

I used the supplied from Hughes cam lube. I'd have to go to my Dad's place and look at the packaging. I used Amsoil assembly lube on everything that could use it. Pistons were dipped in 20-50wt VR1 oil. Bearings were put together with the VR1 as well. Every part was cleaner then a dinner plate...

To me the money was worth it. I have helped other people assemble engines, but I have not done a complete job by myself. for how many thousands of dollars I have spent on this engine, $300 more bucks is not going to make a dent in the total cost. To me its insurance so I don't over look any...

No, having the guy come from the machine shop has nothing to do with the warranty from Hughes, but to me it was worth the $300.00 bucks for him to change out the springs on the heads, measure and build the push-rods, and the piece of mind that some one with more experience working on engines has...

We did not wash the block with soap and water. I also did not remove any freeze plugs. My Dad and I felt that with brake cleaner and compressed air we would get any debris loose, and then a light film of WD-40 to keep it from flash rusting. We used engine assembly lube on all bearing faces...

My Dad and I worked on it all weekend. We tore the engine down to the short block, removed the cam, lifter rollers and the cam lobes were damaged. #8 exhaust lifter roller had locked up and ate the lobe. Obviously the wrong weight of valve spring, and the lifters were bouncing off of the...

Finished the tear down and rebuild with my dad yesterday. I have a machine shop guy coming over tonight to measure the push rods, and double check our work. It actually was easier then expected. While it was apart I almost sent the heads to Shady Dell.... I still might.

I am running OOTB eddy heads, and I have 2 different dyno sheets with different cams. I am also having some serious trouble with my build as well... feel free to have a look at my thread. My doomed 408 build

Got the motor pulled last night. Ill tear down tomorrow morning. OH what fun it is to run a one horse open ...... POS.....

PRH, you have been very helpful I appreciate your knowledge. After re-reading everything, I would like to state the car is 20% street, 80% strip. I originally bought the car so I could use my father in laws wrecked one to rebuild his car. Then My father in law said he wouldn't drive a purple...

I stopped by to try to talk to pissed off owner, and the name of the shop was changed and all bullet custom engines logos were removed.

I am running a worked over Holley 750 DP on top of a Holley strip dominator. No numbers to be able to identify the exact model. It was cleaned up and re-gasketed. Pin the first build it preformed perfectly. When pissed off owner tried to tune it he messed it up.

The carb was the same, I was not there for those dyno runs. My Dad was. But what I found when I installed the engine, was the gasket on the bottom of the carb was not completely cleaned off. Creating what I belive a huge vacume leak. My Dad said they played with the carb quite a bit. Changing...

I will first and for most state i am not a dyno tech. Other than HP and TQ I have seriously no clue what the numbers mean. Nor am I am experienced engine builder. I have R&R'rd many engines and transmissions, but I have had a shop do the rebuilds. Knowing I had spent really good big money on...

I honestly don't think $169 for a mechanical camwas to over priced. My thoughts are buy from some placethat offers a flat cam guaranty. I priced many diffrent combos on jegs, summit, mancini, e bay, they all came to a grand. My cam is wiped several lifters are damaged. I have to do a full valve...

2nd engine build with roller cam

The car...

on top is the roller cam the second one installed Bottom cam car is the first build. 1st engine build dyno sheet. I'm still looking for the second engine build sheet.

408 63CC heads, zero deck, flat top pistons (unknown displacement) .039 gasket. Yep. about 12-1 is what Tim @ Hughes said. My builder claimed it @ 11-1 and I can run on pump gas NP... it pinged with 34 DEG timing. 32 not so much. The first cam I had in it was a hydraulic flat tappet, one that...

I went over my build parts list with Tim @ Hughes. He figured that I'm actually running closer to 12 to 1 CR. With a bigger Cam I will do two things, get it so I can run pump gas. By lowering the cylnder pressure, And make more power to 6K. I emailed Tim my dyno sheets from the previous 2...

I did this. All Hughes parts, Hug1129 dual springs Hugstl6064as-8 mechanical cam Hug5012 cool face edm lifters Gasket set 8 qts of their break in oil. And hug5679 pushrod kit Total shipped 1057.71

It wouldn't be so bad but this is the 3rd tear down and rebuild on the engine, and I still haven't been able to go down the strip once going on my 3rd year of working on it.. I also had the same issues with TCI and their crappy drag race trans. Due to it locking up the rear wheels on the 2-3...

I drained the fluids on the engine over the week end, I also pulled the intake off to see whats going on. The lifter is broken. The cam is wiped. $2k bucks for nothing. I have listed the part numbers, I will be using. I need to yank the engine and do a complete tear down. There was a huge amount...

No I bought them off of ebay. They were new, out of box. The shop that did my build said they were very early production Eddy heads.

I bought the heads from eBay with listed part number 6077. They were listed as new unused but out of box. So I have actual zero clue what springs are on there. The builder said he tested them and they will work with what I'm doing. Hence another reason I'm not going back to him.
