I'm currently going thru this exact subject on my Mopar's. I started with the 74 440ci Ramcharger as it's only getting 6.6mpg, next I'll work on the Duster 360. I also started a thread on RamchargerCentral to document my steps and before/after mileage for tuning the timing/vacuum advance...

I’m going to use a time sert rather than a helicoil. I’ll buy some ultra black RTV in the hole followed by a stud. It’ll be water tight.

I've only found 1 440 engine around here (from a preacher in Aransas Pass of all places and people)...all the mopar's I own came out of Central & North TX. I'm not a big fan of rusty junk...My Father-in-law in Central TX is the one who got me into this financially suffocating hobby :)

awesome. Iv (actually my wife) has this faded purple Duster 360 and I have a 70 Coronet R/T and also building a 74 Ramcharger with a 440 and 1 ton axles under it. Not many Mopar people around here. I only know two (not including our local flipper who I’m cordial with, but try not to interact with)

I noticed you posted that you're in South TX....what Part? I'm from Kingsville but have lived in Portland since 2005

I the widest part of that hole was .302 so luckily I'm able to put a 1/4-20 time sert in it. I ordered the 1/4-20 master kit and 10 .500 length inserts. I'll thread a stud in with some RTV and be good to go. Tomorrow I'll re-work the lip on the valve cover and make sure that they're good...

whoever *tried* to get that bolt out was very close....I have no idea why they gave up at this point and epoxied in a stud.

yep...it was a piece of an extractor.... the good news is that I put some more hate into it, used a small punch, then worked a burr some more into the broken extractor, then put my shop vac on it and had a geyeser. I guess the previous hack drilled all the way thru the bolt into the water...

Part of the problem is that there is already a tool broken off in it...Not even my burr could eat it up. I have one of these left over from having to chew up an E Z out in a bolt that I broke off in a 440 block. It was already pretty worn, but it was too dull from its previous jobs to cut...

So last week I decided to take the RPM Air-Gap I had for my wife's Duster 360 that's been in the attic for 10 years and bolt it on. Simple right? Not if you know me. I pulled everything off, cleaned up & painted bits & pieces to freshen up the engine bay to not look like such a jalopy and on...

This is something I've wondered to because I've thought about doing the swap in my garage without access to a machine shop. Lets say LA engine.
