well went by and checked the intake bolts and sure enough they were loose. I think he is going to get a valley pan and intake gasket for this weekend just to see if this is the problem. Hey MOPER what are we looking for when we pull the intake? we will take any advice yall have to offer...

hey that makes sense. i noticed the other day a small pool of oil on the intake and I wiped it up. The next time I was over there I notice the same pool back again around cyl 3 and 5

it was black untill i changed the carb and now its blue, its still running a little rich and i can hear one of the rollers sounds like its loose.

been helping my buddy work on his cuda again. This is the 440 i was talking about in the past post. I can cover the specs if necesarry but what we have is a smoke problem. This is supposed to be a fresh rebuild with about 2000 miles on it. The guy he bought it off of said it had been setting...

well you can always mill the heads down and lower the CCs on the chambers. i have a set of 906 heads that are cut down to 75 cc and cut for bigger valves. the valve seats just have to be replaced to enlarge the valves it not that big of a deal. check Indy they have a set of valves $150 for both...

the holes down and the angle toward the valves

I* agree you cant build a motor for that price., but when you build it you know what you are getting.

nope they just didnt come close to the springs, they were off left to right. the ratio will efect how they ride and whetre they will hit center these were just all messed up. The 1.6 were just made better than the 1.7s. the 1.7s are new from what he said and they were jsut a POS.

buddy of mine just put them on his 440. He tryed the 1.7's POS they wouldnt line up on the springs and were just a POS. He sent them back and they sent him the 1.6 set teht was a little better they still need to be shimmed for tehm to ride straight on the sring but better than the first set.

man things are heating up on this post. Throw down the gloves and get it on.

man thats one mean *** grocery getter :D :D :D

I agree Brett, Let it do what it was ment to do. Run the indy's and be done with it. I will just have to stay away from that small block :shock:

thanks for the advice and you may have a point. I will go ahead and run the Bigs set up and later I will probly upgrade the heads to and indy set up and change out the cam.This is a cheap prelimanary build. The price on the carb is right and the right heads it will work.

it should be able to handle it. If not then I will get me an auto and a big stall and mtore gear, then I will need more motor I think this a never ending cycle.

cool, appreciate it Brett, i got to get the flywheel off the small block so I can get the rotating assembly ballanced then i can get ghe assembled.

come on craig your late. I just need to pull the 340 and transplant it into the dart. Once I get the fly wheel off the rotating assembly will be ballanced and then I am ready to assemble. Should be together by the end of august and ready to go in the duster.

sounds like I might have a winner. the cam specs are good up to 4:31 gears. I need to get the parts in hand and get her together then we will see. Thanks Guys.for all the help

this what the 440 will be ordered the parts today 440 over 30 speed pro forged pistons stock rods resized and worked stock steel crank turned 10-10 Ballanced block decked for piston to be .019 in the hole, this puts mt compression at about 10.7 - 1 with 75 cc heads stock cast 436 heads...

I have heard those rumors about empty pans and also I have got buddies that have runn High volume pumps for years on the street with stock pans no problems. I have an 8 QT pan on my small block but I will be going with a stock pan o the BB. Either way I run a high volume pump, the more oil the...

just my 2 ents, stay away from that junk yard across the street that guy gets you every time. Or at least look on ebay or a a used parts company fiirst, you are paying way to m uch for his junk. He sees you coming. What an ***.

yep Just put a built 340 in the duster, then bought a cherry 68 dart 318 car going to tkae the 340 out of the duster and put it in the dart. Got a 383 motor for free going to build it for the duster so it will be a 383 and a 4 speed :D

I want to look at 2 options. I have a 383 , I know not that great of a canidate but the price is right. has 906 heads. If this thing cleans up what do I need to do to get 500 HP out of it. If I can get buy with out stroking it and keep the price down thats the ticket. This is 68 block...

so hows it going?????

you can get the push rods from Comp they make a ball and cup set up. Check the tech archive there is an article in there for preload on HI lifters I runn solid so :?: , you will also need an adjustable push rod gauge to get the size it looks like a rod but is threaded so that you can adjust it...

yes a saw. You had it right the spec sheet for them said 50 LBS , I have it on file.
