    Schumacher headers 440 in 71 Duster

    I bought the conversion mounts and torque strap at the same time as I bought my Headers from the Schumacher guy at Carlisle some 7 years ago. Put it all together and drove it for a year like that. A 440 with Stealth heads and six pack set-up. I really didn't like the sound of the open headers so...

    Cooling

    I went to the parts store and picked up a rad for a 74 dodge 1 ton dually. It dropped right into my 71 demon. Used a shroud that I got from the local chrysler dealer from the restoration parts book. Regular old clutch fan and the car never goes above 180. Dosn`t matter what the day or temp is...

    66 dart 440 rad hoses ?

    I took rough measurements of what I needed for my 440 demon. In the back of the parts books for the hoses is a picture library with lengths, bends and sizes. Both dayco, gates have the diagrams. Took all of 5 minutes to find what I needed. Upper is from a chebby celebribity that needed to have...

    Engine wiring harness /6->440 cid

    Got mine from Evans Wiring. Called and had them make the coil wires longer so I could mount the coil on the inner fender. Everything hooked up as if the engine were original. Good price as well. He has other harnesses . Kenny B

    Need some help figuring out water pump/alternator solution

    I used the 440 source housing with the inlet on the passenger side. Bought a set of their aluminum pulleys for the pump and crank. Put one of the Denso kits on, also from 440 source. Came with all the brackets and bolted up nice and aligned nice. Runs 180 degrees with no complaints of heating. I...

    smaller master cylinder

    I think someone already replied about turning the bolt around. The Wilwood master comes with a slightly longer pushrod to compensate for the addition of the offset block. Pedal height is the same as before the swap. If I'm not mistaken, the offset block is also manufactured by Wilwood. Only...

    smaller master cylinder

    I used the offset adapter from Mancini's as well as a Wilwood master also bought from Mancini's. Only problem was modifying the brake light switch bracket to put the pushrod on the other side of the pedal assembly. No problems now. Kenny B

    radiator hose dart 440 swap

    I bent a coat hanger in the shape of the hose I needed and then went to my parts store. In the back of the "Gates" catalogue is pictures of all the hoses with measurements. You need to find a patient parts person who isn't having a bad day and go from there. My lower was cut to fit on both ends...

    Griffin Rad fitment issues

    Picked up my Griffen rad a few years ago during my build. After many hours and a few choice words I sold it for a loss. Was at the local auto parts store talking to them about rads. Found out that a 26 inch rad for a 1976 dodge 1 ton dually would fit right into my existing brackets. Opened up...

    Which dual quad set up?

    Did I read this right. A 512 big block with ported heads and a dual quad setup and then trying to get all that to go through a 1 5/8 tri-y header. Good luck. TTI 2 inch is only is only about $150.00 more. I tried the route you are thinking about and ended up selling the tri-y's. No sense trying...

    differences in K-members

    I believe your set-up uses the biscuit type mounts. My 71 Demon had them and I bought the conversion mounts from Schumacher along with their adjustable torque rod. Motor and tranny slipped right into place after notching the left mount as per schumachers instructions which come with the...

    junkyard 440 approx price?

    One 440/512 lives in the car now. Two complete 440's for cores and or later projects sit in my garage with 4 727 transmissions. Don't really know why I have all this but I got them all at a good price. The most expensive engine I bought was $275.00 and that was for a steel crank engine. The guy...

    TTI headers mini starter clearance

    Switched from shcumacher try-y's to 2 inch TTI's on my 440 Demon. Mini starter fit the try-y's but hit the TTI's. There is a couple of different styles of mini starters. I had the same problem. Bought a Dakota starter which has a shorter armature and bolted right in place. Kenny B

    Big Block Idler and Pitman Arm Trouble

    Just changed the pan in my 440/512 six-pack 71 Demon. I put in a Milodon 90390 pan from Mancini's . I have the 6 K-frame and steering linkage. Center link was close so I used the shims that came with the conversion mounts and raised the engine slightly. This is with the biscuit style mounts...

    Headers?

    Many years ago I did a big block demon. Put on the hooker fenderwells. Easy to go on and off if needed and didn't capture the starter. Didn't like the sound and had turning problems with tires hitting headers. My new big block demon is still under construction and I put the Schumacher tri-y's...

    Looking for wiring kit

    I went to the show last summer in Syracuse NY. The Rep from American Auto Wire was there showing off their stuff. We chatted for a bit and I was sold. My Demon has a 440 six-pack. I switched from the stock alternator to the 1 wire Denso kit. Really didn't like the old Amp gauge or the glass...

    440 Sixpack in 67 barracuda

    Stock 6-pack manifold with the proper carbs and air filter assembly fit under the hood of my 71 Demon with no scoop or other modifications. You need the valley pan with the edelbrock/chrysler intake. There is another intake that dosn't require one. It's just new.

    radiator hoses for 440?

    In the back of the "Gates" Hose book at most parts stores is a picture section with all hoses and their dimensions with sizes. I took rough measurements and angles of what I believed I needed and then went back to the store. We went through the book and came up with a set of hoses that fit...

    440 Exhaust options?

    I bought some 2 1/2 inch straight pipe and took it to a friend with a pipe bender. Then hung some dynaflows on mine. Only needs a short bend at the front of each pipe. A couple of downspouts and drove away within 30 minutes. Kenny b

    radator and oil cooler help ? which ones

    I bought a 3 core radiator for a 1976 dodge 1 ton with a 440 engine. With slight griding to the support brackets on the rad, it slipped into my 1971 demon with a 440 six pack. Used the water pump housing from 440 source with the inlet on the passenger side and hoses from the local parts store...
