I was thinking about the 440 to 500 kit, did you send them block or do they just provide kit?

I've listed the rules in my original post, I'm looking at a stroker kit from 440 source right now. Gonna call them and talk to a tech guy later this week. Anyone had any experience with them?

Ok guys I know this is an a body forum, but I have a big block question for a pulling truck. I know there is plenty of experience on here so I figured I'd ask anyways. This off season I'm planning to build a 440 for the factory stock class I pull in, what I'm wanting to find out is what the best...

All I have is purple hornies on mine

Those good oils for running or break-in?

Thanks a lot guys for all the info I really appreciate it hopefully we will be able to start the engine today for break-in.

Ok thank you for the info

Ok guys as some of you know I just recently did a little "sprucing" up to an old 440 I picked up. I replaced the camshaft and lifters(only internal upgrade) so now my question is on the break-in procedure. I have already purchased some Lucas break-in additive but I'm not to sure what oil to go...

Ok thanks guys ill try that when I get home

Ok guys its my first rear main seal removal and its proving to be harder then I thought. The engine is a 440 it is out of truck and on engine stand. Crank is still in and absolutely do not want to remove it if at all possible but I can't get the top seal out(with engine upside down its under the...

I'm gonna call summit and/or howards tomorrow to see about returning cam for a more mild grind where no other changes will be necessary(valve springs, head work, etc....). I really am grateful for the input and advice. I will keep posting on how the build finishes up. Thanks again guys

That was an idea I had kicked around but nobody is gonna buy this cam and lifter set after its been installed.

This is unbelieveable I couldve swore I made it clear on the build thread that this was not to be a big project and by no means did I wanna spend this much money.

Well it looks like ill be ordering new springs then does anyone have any idea the specs on what ill need feel free to throw in anything else that's an absolute neccesity at the this point. Thanks in advance.

I understand what you're saying and I wish my situation had that difficult of a fix haha

Yes I piled on the assembly lube and by multiple I only meant about 3 to 3.5 times and of course its still by hand as I have not yet put the engine in the truck now that I'm learning of all these extra steps I didn't see coming.

Well this has turned into a much bigger job then I wouldve liked to done I told the guys on the build threadthat this was just gonna be a work truck with occasional pulls. Didn't think they would send me down this road.

I've put the pushrods and rocker arms back on and turned engine over multiple times and didn't notice any problems.

HRS-CL721941-12 is the cam and lifter kit that I bought from summit some of the other members on another thread mentioned it. Never said anything about new springs figured it wasn't to much of a huge upgrade otherwise I'm sure they wouldve said something about it.

Ya it was a cam and lifter kit.

Ok thank you very much. I bought cloyes double roller timing set and howards cam. Just got the new cam in not sure what to do next tho.

ok thank you sir got new cam in now for top dead center issue where do i go from there

Ok guys ran into a couple problems with the camshaft. First things first I went off and removed the timing chain without putting engine at TDC so pretty big problem there bc the cam is already out. Onto next problem while trying to install new cam I can get it all the way in until the last...

I have a couple books on rebuilding big block chrysler engines and have disassembled engines before this is just my first time not fully dis assembling the engine. I will check out those articles on hughes website tho. Thank you for the info.

Ok thank you ill go ahead and remove them then

Not yet do I have to remove rocker arms and pushrods for that? Sorry first cam removal

Ok guys I have a 75 440 I have the engine on a stand and I'm trying to remove camshaft without a complete dis-assembly of the engine. I know I have to remove fuel pump and actuator, Oil pump and distributor. Any helpful info is greatly appreciated.

Pangasket I'm not sure what you mean about the crank flange or how that will effect my build please elaborate. As for the heads I think I'm reading 452 does that sound right. Abodybomber the tires will be 33s and as for the gears its low I would say 410s. I will look into cam and I have a...

Ok I recently pulled a 440 out of a 76 champion motorhome and I'm planning on putting it in my power wagon. I want to do a few small things while its on engine stand and I was hoping you guys would enjoy sharing some of your knowledge. I'm wanting to do cam and lifters, a set of headers, and...

I realize you can put headers on without pulling the engine but I'm banking on about 99% of the manifold studs breaking off. So drilling and tapping will be alot easier with the engine removed. I appreciate the offer but I'm gonna go ahead and just keep the setup I have.
