    confusion torsion bars or no torsion bars

    With TTI headers you have to insure the engine is located per TTI specs. The original kframes are very sloppy all over the place leading to some engines being offset despite car never being in an accident. I had to shim my mounts to get engine located per TTI specs and no dents in any tubes...

    440/Schumacher/Borgeson

    Messed up pulley. Pulleys on Saginaw pumps must be perfectly true or they mess up the pump internals.

    Supporting the engine?

    I lowered eng/trans down let oil pan rest on center link and T56 weighs 140 pounds. No impacts to oil pan at all. I have a Kevko oil pan on there which is a reproduction oil pan with a larger sump welded on the bottom. Did same thing taking 727 trans in out in the past and those are heavy...

    Supporting the engine?

    I put a rag on my center link and lowe engine down and oil pan lays on center link. Rag prevents oil pan getting scratched. Have to make sure radiator hoses have enough flex, fan dont hit fan shroud, and since I have small block loosen distributor cap. That what I just did when had to...

    Aluminum heads with a low compression 440 will loose compression? Huh?

    Aluminum absorbs the heat faster, taxes your cooling system more, and the absorption of heat is supposedly a power loss because instead of the heat pushing the piston down it is being absorbed by the head. Like said in couple posts above you would need exact aluminum and cast iron heads and...

    Best motor for 69 Barracuda

    I second what Rob says about a Magnum 360. If you wanna keep it simple bolt on a carb intake, get an adapter for the fuel pump eccentric and run a mechanical fuel pump. The 360 is superior to the 340 due to the longer stroke. Longer stroke means more torque. The Magnum 360 already has a...

    big block vs. smal block

    Small block stroker is the hot ticket. Big block torque without the weight and easy to work on. If you are on a budget drop a 360 in there.

    thin cylinder walls on a 440?

    There were no thin wall 440s. The later blocks have the reinforcement ribs and stronger motor mount ears. The earlier blocks do not. However, it is believed the earlier blocks had a higher nickel content for extra strength. This info is accurate: http://www.440source.com/blockinfo.htm I'd...

    440 rocker problems

    I know on small blocks you have "left" and "right" rockers and they have to be put on the right valve locations to fit correctly. I don't know if the big blocks are like this or not though.

    440 source???

    The heads are new and have been selling like crazy. Haven't heard any complaints on the heads.

    440 source???

    I think a lot of people are happy with their rotating assemblies. Its always a good idea to get any rotating assembly checked over carefully before using no matter where you get it from. Their rocker arms are failing and causing catastrophic engine damage so I'd steer clear of those.
