I am building an RB 470 stroker. Do I need an external pickup setup? What about a swinging pickup?

My car has been front-halved and the engine mounts with a motor plate. I have a nice big rectangle to work with but limited ground clearance because the car is low. When I had a 6 quart pan (stock that had been sumped) on it I only have 1.5 inches clearance. I can run a dragster type pan or the...

This should be fun! All opinions welcomed. 470RB Weiand tunnel ram w/750 Mighty Demons Trickflow 240 heads 10.5 compression w/Icon forged flat tops 4000 stall converter 4.11 gears w/28 tall tires Going into a '74 Duster that is much lighter than stock (have not weighed it yet, guessing...

Well, I ended up getting one for my 440 from Speedway. It had been on backorder since December! Corners were hanging out of the box as they packed it very poorly, but luckily it looks fine. I set the top on it and WOW, ports aren't even close to matching up. Only 2 out of 8 are even close. I am...

What are my choices?

Well, they have them out now for SBF, SBC, and LS motors. PLEASE ask them to make one for BBM. I'd rather not run a Weiand Hi Ram like everyone else...

Well my motor is coming right along after some machine shop delays due to too much work (poor guy) and he got it all mocked up. The block bored .055 and looks perfect. The deck after a 4 corner mock-up is square due to the last time it was milled and the line bore is dead-on as well. So I saved...

Anyone use this set from Jegs? Old set on my 440 was wore out after 100 passes and was a roller but with cast iron cam gear. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/20460/10002/-1?CT=999

Well, my 440 block is going to clean up at .055 so I am doing the 470 build up. Is anyone familiar with this and how do you like it? Seems like a great way to take many pounds out of the recipricating assembly and get a modern rod in there for cheap. I am using these pistons...

A good friend who is a professional engine builder stopped by today to check the bearings on my 440 since I already had it on the stand and all painted up nice and pretty. When we unbolted the rod caps I got a nasty surprise. While the bearing SURFACES looked great, the edges were shiny and the...

I was told my 440 heads were angle milled. I don't know how much. I assumed the intake was as well. Now I am not so sure. I look down the ports with a Maglite and I can see about .030" of the tops of each cylinder head port. In other words, the intake looks to be sitting HIGH on the heads. My...

Well being a 440 guy I don't know much about 383's. My buddy has his shortblock done and it has 11.5:1 forged pistons with a stock crank. he just got a killer deal on some Mopar Stage VI aluminum heads that came off of a 451 low-deck motor than ran 10.3 N/A. He is going to pair them with a very...

My buddy swears if I swap out my ancient Torker intake on my 440 that I will pick up a ton. Has anyone experienced this and what intake did you use? I am running 12.8:1 compression and a big 280 @.050 .620 lift solid cam. Shift points are 6500rpm.

This is my 3rd attempt at posting this message. I am almost to the point of smashing this damn computer: Problem: I paid much bucks for a custom front end on my 1974 Duster. It has new rails, tubular control arms, coil overs and a rack. The guy did nice work. He put my 440 in it with a front...

Hey guys! I have a solid front motorplate (not elephant ears) and I have no idea how to mount an alternator. I want to go with the 440 Source serpentine kit. I am using manual steering and no a/c so I ony need single groove pulleys. I plan on machining the water pump housing and removing the...

I have an older race 440 motor I have swapped into a hot street '74 Duster. The problem is the 440 has 11.5:1 pistons and angle milled iron heads. I guestimate the CR to be 12.5-13:1. It has a nasty Crane solid cam that specs out at 324 duration (forgot the @ .050 sorry!) and .620 lift, it is a...
