    516 head rebuild

    It looks like these are the press in guides am I correct? Can you just press the old ones out and press new ones in and ream them to length. Or what is the process to do it.

    516 head rebuild

    That's the plan. Eventually I will take it all apart and really go crazy on a build for now I just want to freshen the entire thing up and have a reliable and fun running big block duster. Right now I have everything to put it back together no funds to build a stroker

    516 head rebuild

    Working on rebuilding the 516 heads on my 400. I'm wanting to replace the valve guides and would like some advice on the process and where to buy new one. Is there a special type I should get or special material. I'm also thinking of adding bigger valves I've kinda read up on it but just want...

    Slant 6 in rat rod

    Its a roadster not a solid cab so I'd imagine it wouldn't get as hot as that we'll see how it goes if I don't like it I can always change it haha

    Slant 6 in rat rod

    This roadster s basically just a scrounged together car with things I have, I just wanted to know if it was even capable of mating, but I plan on swapping it out when I find something better of course but for know I think it will do

    Slant 6 in rat rod

    So I've got another motor I'm planning on swapping into my 1973 duster /6 car. I also have a 27 ford roadster rat rod I'm building, I figured with an easy rebuild on the slant 6 I'd use it to build my crusher rat rod. I also have a 74 dodge pickup that's donating it's 400 for the duster. It has...

    What to do with a 400

    In my car now it has a slant 6. I want my duster to have a good get up and go and burn out pretty nice. I'm not on a strict budget but I can't afford to build a stroker, maybe down the road I'd like to, I just want to get this engine running good and faster and drop it in my car and enjoyment I...

    What to do with a 400

    It runs and drives pretty well. I need to pull the plugs on it and see what's up. I've just heard they don't have a good compresion, but I've heard as well you can build em to be crazy but that takes a lot of money like 10k to 12k

    What to do with a 400

    So I got this truck I was told it had a 440 in and when I got it and started really digging I discovered it's a 400. I've heard you can do a lot with a 400 and make a 451 stroker and such, only if you have deep pockets haha. I at the moment don't have the funds for a complete machine and rebuild...

    440 into a /6 duster

    So upon further digging I realized this is a 400 block not a 440. I know that they are similar in hardware and such just the 400 is a bit narrower. So will most of this information based on the 440 swap be similar to a 400 swap.

    8 3/4 diff search

    Ya I think what I put in it now is a 8.25 I originally though of doing a 360 but the 440 fell into my lap so I think it would be a fun build

    440 into a /6 duster

    So if I'm using the ford diffs or the JY dana 60 will the bolt pattern be the same as my 5 on 4.5 or do I put my axle shafts in the dana or ford diffs?

    440 into a /6 duster

    I planned that this isn't gonna be a bolt in plug and play project. When I first bought this car in highschool I put in a bigger diff with the bigger bolt pattern and I have the bigger bolt pattern up fronot with disc brakes. I'm thinking I'm gonna search for a 727 auto. I just wanted to get...

    I'm not having the best of luck finding an 8 3/4 diff. What alternative vehicles can I find an axle with 4 10 gears and the 5 on 4.5 mopar lug pattern? I've heard 90s jeep grand cherokees have em. True or false?? Thanks

    440 into a /6 duster

    I recently trade for a 1974 dodge truck. 440 and a 4 speed. Looking to put the 440 in my car. I know I need to connect the frame together. But what else may be concerned about using a truck motor and trans and anything I should know before diving into this project. Thanks.
