Cool; hemi, manual trans., OD and A/C. What could be better? :D

I can't find the company I got the covers from however I understand 440source.com is now selling these so check `em out.

I don't remember now but I do know it was a company that dealt mostly in truck parts. I'll research and see if I can find the the name of the place.

I will try to dig up something more current and a wider view but here's the shot from my garage- the block as it sits-

Most of the time if you run the original stamped valve covers there is no interference problems with the heater motor. Check your engine for the correct orientation front to back. If you do run into interference problems there is a mod you can do to offset the heater motor. You can find it here...

Check out Schumacher http://www.engine-swaps.com/ for your Mopar engine swap needs. Mounts and headers are what they specialize in.

Yes

I used 2 different set of Taylor wires and both had issues with the boots cracking under heat so I ended up buying the Accel 9001C universal set. They have ceramic boots that so far have been practically impervious to header heat. They were pricey but I'm glad I got them because I no longer...

Look for rust or rust repairs in the bottom rear quarters, lower rear corners of the fenders, the area on the rocker panels just below the door jambs, bottom corners of the back glass, and of course the floors in the cabin and trunk. Look for things that would be found on a factory big block car...

My 496 with a mild cam stops making more power at 6200 rpm so that`s where I go with it. Check out Dan Dvorak`s machine shop website for lots of info on big block oiling.

I had a 383 GTS with an A/T in the 70`s, bone stock with the exception of a 3.55 sure-grip. It ran consistently in the mid 14`s with street tires.

Very nice!

I believe most are .875 but I`ve seen .872 in aftermarket pieces.

Welcome to FABO Bob. Beautiful car, a Dart almost identical to yours sold on here about a year ago. When I saw your car I thought it was the same car.

My 68 Barracuda 440/5spd. fastback weighs 3450 with 1/2 tank of gas. This is with a very complete interior.

You can use the Schumacher engine mounts to install it in an A-body. The trans should have two places to mount the shifter if it came out of an E-body. The rear mount is for E-body cars and the front for B-body cars. If you want to use it in an A-body it`s possible if you fabricate an adapter...

Oh, I didn`t read that right. Sorry. Summit sells a 2.5" (out the back) system for A-bodies with turbo mufflers for about 2 bills.

I`ve heard of guys modifying the B-body headers. That would be one cheap alternative to using Schumacher tri-y`s or actually buying a pair of A-body headers.

Here`s one on Ebay now, looks like a 187 pan. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/mopar-big-block-oil-pan_W0QQitemZ250409109885QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_100?hash=item3a4d8bc97d

Check here, they come up from time to time. You can almost always find one on Ebay or Craigslist.

Most people using a stock pan will opt for the 187 or 699 pan since they both have a relief in them for the steering linkage. The 402 pan will also work. Several aftermarket pans are said to work now, check some of the other threads on here for the makers.

That should be more fun than a barrel of monkeys......

I`ve read that a minimum of 1100ppm is enough to protect most cams/lifters. It`s also important to have a little phosphorus in the blend as well. I`ve just been using Valvoline VR-1 which is formulated for use with flat tappet cams. I like Lucas products but I would be less than impressed with a...

Try getting the kickdown adapter for the carburetor first and then you should be able to make your lokar cable work by adapting the anchor bracket to the carburetor base. As a last resort, you could buy the repro kickdown linkage. The down side is that it`s very expensive.

I used the Milodon and it was supposed to fit but I still had to clearance it a little for the steering linkage, and that was on an original big block car. I`ll have to check out that 440Source pan.

Unless your compression is way up there you should be good with something like a Fel-Pro or MP composite gasket in the .038-40 range.

I`ll try to remember but these days no guarantees. Lol!

After using Fel-Pro rubber gaskets for the longest time I found another gasket by Fel-Pro that is a high heat resistant composite that works great for people who adjust their valves frequently and they run about $16.50 a pair.

Yup, that`s the one. I read some of the reviews and they`re very favorable. The book is very good for giving you the "how to" and the "why" and goes over casting numbers (so you can identify what you`ve got) as well as what parts will interchange.
