Nothing wrong with a motor plate.You could use angle iron with a heavy rubber between the frame and the angle iron. Always run at least a rubber tranny mount.I drove a 67 barracuda with a plate with the mods stated above and she drove on the street like a dream.Was not harsh at all and very xost...

.070 over 413=426.

Great base for a build vt. I pulled 2 over the years. The first one was a 71 and had 6 pack rods and was a fairly rare block with a lot of extra ribbing on the block. The second was a 76 630 casting and had thicker main webbing than most other 440 blocks. I would go for it also.

Do you have drums in front? Mine had factory kelsey hayes calipers.

Just got her yesterday and she has been on a serious diet.

I built a 67 notchback years ago.I welded in frame connectors.I ran a MP..484 hyd.cam. 70 block.Factory cast pistons,factory compression,crappy sp2p?intake.850 holley. 2500 converter. 8 3/4 rear with 3.90 gear.car went 12.64 108. Very streetable combo.

Carry on soldier and keep us informed.

Hi 02.The 1967 magnum head had 2.08 int. 174 exh.The 383 had the smaller exhaust. I believe same port volume just a smaller exh.valve.That said you can open up the exhaust to 1.74 and have a fresh seat on the 1.60 915s.

The car will be a blast to drive AZ and it will haul. I would run more gear but thats me..No stroker required, Great build,great choice. Thumbs up.

I think you got a great buy.Yes that galley hole should be plugged.I assume it is a hydraulic camshaft?

Wood stove paint should also work well.

Rusty,regardless of what you decide,build the strongest bottom end you can afford.This allows you to do upgrades without worry of a strong foundation.

Oops.You are using vacuum advance. Use your timing light,plug vacuum line on carb.Set total to 38 degrees.Also look at what rpm total advance is being achieved. I like it all in by 2000 which is what the MP dizzys are SUPPOSED to achieve.So you now have 38 degrees. Reinstall vacuum line,start...

Remove #1 plug.Stick a finger over the hole.Turn engine slowly by hand until air starts pushing your finger out of the hole.This is compression stroke.Look at timing mark,it should be close to tdc. If so turn engine to align the timing marks.Install distributor aligning rotor with #1 cylinder...

Who is selling new rods for $200? New is always better than used.If I could buy new for 2 bills thats the way I would go.That being said a rods life is determined by the cycles of operation.Hi-po use or high mileage will have more stress on the rod and its cycle life.The problem is noone...

That works for me.If ya do use gaskets you will need 4.

Remember you will need 2 wp gaskets,one behind the plate and one in front.

Yes the to bearing gets worn and can be off center.If you were rough on the balancer you may have damaged it.If you have grease between the engine and transmission you may have a seal leaking or bad input bearing.Grease and oil is not good for a clutch or related components.Personally,I have...

Bad throw out bearing,was the flywheel balanced? I know,all the above and 2 more.Hope ya find the source.

If the plates 1/4 inch thick machine the housing down 1/4 inch and use a good waterpump like flowcooler. Pulleys will then line up.

I had a 67 big block k-member.It did use the funky mount on the drivers side.I thought they only used this mount with the predrilled hole in the front of the block in 1967??

I would check the timing.Set initial,then rev up to see what rpm total is being achieved.Try to get total all in by 2500 rpm and she should respond. I have never ran an edelbrock carb so my experience with them is zilch.Hope ya find out whats ailing her.

Heck, just the pullies and accessories are worth $150. Great score!

Looks like a late 67 block up until mid 68 as theres no horizontal rib just above the freeze plugs.Late 68 blocks have the horizontal rib. Still an excellent block.

Mine dropped on the dowel pins just fine. I used them on a standard stroke 440 and they worked good. Car ran well. They were not ported. Never flowed both heads as a comparison so Ill take your word for it. Im just a few years back in time.When I hear mp 452s I think iron head.

Paw is selling LY rods,resized,shot peened, good rod bolts, and balanced for just under $150 on ebay.

Before building a stroker,ask yourself,will a standard stroke 440 satisfy your need for speed.The bigblocks in standard stroke are by no means slouches and can produce some serious hp. Maximum effort,meaning more money or just plain old seriously fast and standard stroke. This is just a question...

To add to this thread, make sure you leave around 3/4 of an inch freeplay going into the transmission.This allows the rear to kick up on sudden acceleration without bottoming into the transmission. Thats what I do anyhow.

I found an old 440 out of a 71 winnebago. Apparently it was a cold weather block and had a lot of extra ribbing on the block. Look at the 630 casting mid 70s block,some,not all have extra main bearing support. Earlier blocks tend to have better hardness.Around mid 68 they started reinforcing the...

The stage six heads are decent. It all depends on what combo your running.They will work fine on a standard stroke 440 but if your running a hot stroker over 470 cubes plan on some porting to make them work.Indy would be better in this case.Think of an engine as an air pump.The more air in and...
