    383 power upgrade help

    I just meant you have the same issues with putting a 440 in an A body as a 383, they are both big blocks and require the same **** to get them in an A body.

    383 power upgrade help

    My son and I recently shoehorned a 73 440 into a 73 Duster which is basically the same block as a 383, just different displacement. I could write a book on all the issues that you'll come across but a lot of my issues arrised due to Schumacher Create Industries having been about of business...

    cast crank to forged in 440

    Ground the weights off the torque converter and no more vibration so I have a forged crank shaft. Thanks for everyone's input.

    cast crank to forged in 440

    ok, I've heard the non-weighted ones don't have a drain plug so wasn't sure if the added little bit of weight would act as a balance weight.

    cast crank to forged in 440

    My 440 is reportedly out of a RV (crammed it in a 73 Duster). The damper that came on the engine is the same as the 2nd photo down (#3614371) on this website Harmonic Dampers 440 Source.com and the counter weights on the crankshaft are rounded as can be seen in this photo. This photo was taken...

    cast crank to forged in 440

    I have a '73 440 forged crankshaft with the correct balancer. About a year ago my mechanic friend rebuilt my 727 transmission & ordered a new torque converter. There's been engine vibration when throttle above idle, did the research, not supposed to have the 2 weights and plug since it's NOT a...

    Slant 6 to B/RB

    Anyone with a 440 in an A-body able to run electric fan. I have 4.5" from the front of the radiator mount to the bolts on the front of the water pump. Most radiators are at least 3" thick so that leaves 1-1/4" for the shroud and fan but most appear to be several inches thick. Here are the...

    Slant 6 to B/RB

    Thanks for info. I was wondering how I was going to get the engine closer to the driver's side with it was already almost touching the driver's side perch. I actually think I need to kick the engine a bit more to the passenger side so my motor mount doesn't touch the steering gear box. My mounts...

    Slant 6 to B/RB

    Does anyone have a 440 in an A-body and if so, is the center of the engine slightly offset to the left? I'm making my own mounts & my engine block is almost touching the steering gear box when I try to center the engine left to right. I've trimmed up the drivers side perch as per directions so...

    Slant 6 to B/RB

    If anyone has a 73 & Up A-body with a 383/400/440 in it, I'd really appreciate the measurements from the center of the bolt on the drivers side lowest front mount on the motor and the center of the bolt in the perch. I've created a templet for the upper half but need to know how far down from...

    Slant 6 to B/RB

    If you are asking me how much are motor mounts I'm looking for worth to me? I'd say $300 which is nearly double what they'd sell for if they were being produced.

    Thanks for the info on the engine plates but I'm making a daily driver so I'm hoping to keep as many of the accessories as possible.

    The following is an email from the Schumacher with the owners last name removed, not sure he wants everyone knowing his full name. My name is Chris ____, new owner of Schumacher Creative Services. That kit, A73B6, is slated for production around the first of the year. I can put you on the list...

    Slant 6 to B/RB

    I'm in the same boat. No one is making the 73' and up motor mounts for A-body Slant 6 K-member to B/RB. Schumacher was recently purchased by someone after the previous owner nearly let it naturally disolve. A few months ago, the new owner responded to my email asking if they were going to ever...
