@67Dart273 i will research elephant ears. I'm not familiar with them. @pishta it will be a mild 440. Never raced but i do enjoy to drive fast.Maybe 450-500hp.

Hi everyone, I just got my 440 out of the machine shop and noticed that one of the lower engine mount ears is broken off. Is this block usable as is with maybe a torque strap on the top bolt holes or is a motor plate my only option? Thanks guys

Thanks for the replies.

I am just getting ready to start building a 383 for my 69 Dart. I have read tons of articles about a 383 in an A Body but wonder if my build will meet my expectations. I want to run mid-low 12s and this is what I have in mind. 383 .030 9.5:1 Stock OOTB Edelbrock Heads Edelbrock manifold Comp...

Thanks, this engine is going in his 70 Challenger. He bought the car in 1980, started a family, parked it, and started the restoration about 3 years ago. Hopefully he will be driving it next summer.

My dad just finished assembling his 383 and heres the dyno video and sheet. He is very happy with the results and I am glad that he was able to do something fun for himself after helping me and my brother with our cars. Enjoy! Stock stroke 383 .060 Stock rods on Forged pistons (no idea on...

Hi everyone, my dad is looking to add a serpentine set up to his 383. He has AC, and Power Steering. I have looked at the Mancini Racing set up, 440 source and March. Does anyone have experience with any of these or a different kit? I think the 440 source kit requires shims and I really don't...

Thanks for all the info, GmachineDart, when I am done building up the motor around March I will definitely send you a message to go through with the kit. My 440 might get stored and my 400 might be used instead depending on what the 440 can clean up at.

I'm pondering the thought of putting a 440 in my 69 Dart but don't want to give up my power steering. Has anyone put a 440 in an a body and used the borgeson box to keep power steering? If I went 440 I would use Schumacher headers and also try to keep my power brakes. Thanks.

Pana.mopar any video of your runs?

Awesome, glad to hear. I am gonna run that with schumacher headers, edelbrock rpm intake and a 750cfm carb. Also going to use 4.30 gears with a 3500rpm stall 727 in a gutted duster. Hopefully run low 12's with it. Should I leave the stock 2.08 1.74 valves in the heads?

Found a 383 2 barrel motor that I am thinking about using in my a body. It is a stock bottom end motor with flat tops w/ no valve reliefs. I want to use a cam that will give me the most power without changing the pistons. (Building a budget street/strip ride). I don't know how far in the hole...

Whats everyone using for a drive shaft? I just put in a 440 and 727 in my duster and called up a shop that I have used before and told me $300 for shortening, balancing, yoke and U-joints. Now I dont have a drive shaft but figured I would get one out of a 70's truck or van with a BB and bring it...

Cool, yeah i wanna say this is for a 98 dakota with the 5.2 and it does have an overly large plastic clip that I can try and remove. I am running a manual steering box as well and am using schumachers.

Hey everyone, I have a 440 duster with a 727 and am looking for a starter for it, what is everyone using for one? I have heard about using one from a late 90's dakota with the V8 but came across one and it seems to almost fit but the top terminals come into the side of the block and doesn't...

ya i figured if i eliminated as much heavy iron stuff then that could help, and thankfully i already have a bigger aluminum radiator, bigger bolt pattern with disc brakes and a fiberglass hood phew! but i knew that traction is gonna be limited so subframe connectors and tubbing are gonna have to...

a friend of my brother's has decided to get rid of all of his stuff because he is moving out and cant keep it all. So from there im called and told he has a 440and pretty much the short block to go along with it only its not assembled. i checked it out the block has already been bored 40 over...
