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

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?

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...

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.

The wheel coffee table isn't my thing, but I sure do dig that camshaft lamp. Very cool.

I sometimes run different oils, I don't stick to the same one. I currently have pennzoil in there with detergents to reduce sludge. So the bottle claims. I also like the 4.7 engine in my truck. I have no complaints other than the sludge and the AC compressor clutch problems. You think I should...

My truck has done this since I first got it. I don't think its coolant leaking from internally. Im never low on coolant, and truck runs great. Just get a ton of white milky **** in the oil fill tube. Like enough to scoop out with a spoon a few times.

I have a 2002 dodge ram 4.7. When I open the oil filler cap it is filled with white crap, sludge I guess. I always change my oil every 5000 kms. Just wondering if anybody else had this problem, and what I can do to fix it? I am going to remove the PCV valve and clean or replace it. Should I use...

I guessed that they would offer the guy $1700 for that car the way it sat. Then I heard the figures and was like WOW?

74 Cuda 440 4 speed. Red with quarter decal saying 440. Also Window louvers and big fat tires and everything

Sweet, there's one like that 20 mins from my house. Calabogie motorsports track.

I got mine from the cubic inches of my engine I had at the time. 360 + .040= 367 So mopar367 for me.

Ugly, take the rims off and it would sell.

My friend and I were lowering a 400 into his 1988 ram from a beam in the garage. A guy we didn't know very well comes in(somebody Else's garage). He says hey guys what you doing is that a 350? We just looked at each other and laughed. Ya a 350 with the distributor at the front being lowered into...

Very sweet ride, i would have emptied out at lunch to look at it too.

I am 23 I am all about hot rodding. I cant afford a sweet superbee or dart so I run an 80s ram truck. I built a 446 for it, and a 727 all work done myself. I have another 440 in the shed as well as a 383. They will see the road again some day. They can do whatever they want to the price of gas...

Don't forget the your glasses lol

Dang man, that sucks. At least your eye wont have permanent damage. I have had a few close calls over the years and always wear hearing protection, glasses, and gloves when using any kind of grinder.

looking good man. Love the sound of it.

There are 2 junkyards near me that are full of 60s to 80's cars and trucks. I might get some pics sometime too and post them. Ya I guess our junkyards in upper US and Canada are much different than that of California. Just a bunch of cars parked in the bush and fields around here.

That's exactly what I was thinking. What a collection.

I just use a squirt can of oil in the spark plug hole. Then turn it over a few times.

Its a canoe anchor. Look at the bearing surfaces. If your crankshaft journals looked like that they would need to be re-ground. So Personally I wouldn't run it.

I have an 87 ram d100 I put a 440 in. I want to convert to manual brakes because my brake booster hits the valve cover. I'm not sure what master cylinder to get, and if I need a different proportioning valve. I know I need an adapter plate for the firewall, and I can make the brake pushrod...

I met this guy before at a car show. He is a real A**Hole. Kept leaning on my truck, even after I asked him to stop. His ad is nothing but a joke really. And his built 440 does sound good, but 17000 is like 13500 more than it cost me to build my 440.

It will work because most motor homes were built on truck chassis, Although 4wd and 2wd big block truck mounts are different. If it has a rear sump pan it will fit the ramcharger. Also he can swap his transfer case and tailstock onto the big block transmission to make it 4wd. You just have to...
