That’s a first for me on the poly head design being adapted to the 4.7.Very interesting tho if it is true.

Hell no it ain’t lol unless you have everything laid out ready to go and are on crack cocaine as well as a **** load of monsters and red bulls standing by!!

Thanks guys and yeah it took some patience which I’m getting better at with age! Just for anybody else that wants to build one of these engines definitely do your research on these and check everything!! don’t assume but that goes with any other engine build!

Ok just wanted to update people on this. Got the engine built which was a wonderful pain in the buxton lard *** but it’s finally finished! Painted it orange And installed it. Runs like a champ! Thank god it’s done! If I were to build another one of these I’d prepare myself more better and thanks...

Oh that’s another thing that tripped me out. Why the hell would they do that I don’t know. I watched some videos on that and they say double and triple check by taking measurements. Mine was CBBC but I miked the crank journals and the crank journals all measured 2.500 and I measured the new...

I really thought about doing that buying a reman engine from them which i heard they do a good job building and taking care of the issues these engines have but i went the cheaper route as well as wanted to get experience building these engines and I havent had any issues with my transmission...

I heard about the overheating issue which i did overheat my engine climbing over a mountain towing a car, pulled over and let it cool, got over the mountain and went back to normal operating temp and still ran great!! I also replaced the thermostat on it to a 180, which doing research a lot of...

I have a buddy that i went to auto school with back in AZ that lives in near Stillwater, Minnesota and hes a mechanic and does alot of side work. I visited him a couple of times and seeing the cars and the trucks he works on doing brake jobs and what not.. HOLY CRAP i cant believe the amount of...

I got lucky on mine, all came out with ease! :D On the crank trigger must be a north eastern state thing or where they put alot of salt on the roads and gets up all up there and causes that because mine came out with ease, no problems!

Thanks for the tip! Yea im gonna watch more youtube videos on this engine, make sure i dont screw anything up!

From doing research Chrysler did correct a lot of the problems they had with the 4.7l in the later years which is nice as well as some upgrades!

I already bought a kit that comes with timing chain oil pump and water pump. I figure the stock should be good but will see. gonna hook up a mechanical oil gauge to keep a better eyeball on the pressure!

Will do!! did watch a few videos on timing chain replacement which is gonna be fun to do!!

Oh dam nice!! Thanks Rusty for the link!! I was gonna modify the original one and open it up some more as well as blast the living **** out of it to make sure there’s no debris but I’ll just go this route!

Nice!! I think what failed in mine was oil starvation going up these steep incline roads to go to a job site where I use to work at for several weeks. Noticed a ticking sound going up the hill then it would go away when I leveled out. Check oil and level was on the low side still above the add...

Cool I’ll definitely look into that!

Gonna get as far as I can till the new connecting rod bolts come in which would be sometime next week. In the mean time I’m building a 225 slant 6 fir my 72 dart and waiting for my 232 Amc to come back from the machine shop so I can start building that one for my 71 javelin! Fun times! Pics of...

Did measure the connecting rod and thank god it didn’t tear up the connecting rod or journal. Had the cylinder heads milled today and barely building the bottom end of the engine and doing a re ring build on it which I got lucky there was no ridge in the cylinders

Hear are some slight carnage pics of it pickup tube having bearing material in it. I don’t understand also the small patty wagon opening either.

I have the same style truck also and just about the same Mileage. Trying to look on the bright side of it. Thought of going with a used engine but the risk of either a good or bad engine especially with the design flaws of oil sludge buildup and clogging oil pickup screen. Looking at the design...

I think I’m in the middle as far as love/hate lol but will see how this build goes. Would like to go 5.9 but I’d have to get more stuff for the truck and I just wanna get this thing going.

I’m currently building a 4.7 out of my 2000 Dakota which spun a rod bearing, caught it in time to where it didn’t scar the rod journal which I was surprised, besides it being a unique design, I figure I’m up to the task for it since I use to build engines before, older pushrod engines. Getting...

I must of missed the posts then but dang that’s pretty affordable.

Oh **** didn’t know they had a place like this in Turlock! Shame to see them cars crushed! Try to convince the owner to crush the newer cars and keep the old ones. Also any AMCs there?

Currently have this ones 1971 Javelin base model with 232 and 3spd auto. Previous owner made it into a T Top. Also working on a 72 Javelin SST that has a 401 in it and gonna install an AW4 soon.

Behind, and next to Wartzilla 18cyl Diesel engines. Worked on them too!

Thinking about that yeah get rid of those too!

Oh Dam! at least put round headlights in it, straighten out the number 42 and get rid of the stupid *** exhaust pipes and maybee it might look good??

Yeah It was just too nice of a body to where I’d hate to see it be crushed or parted out!

After selling my dart that I had for 15 years a couple years ago I was on the lookout for another one but people are asking gold for them now but found this 1972 Dart at a junk yard close to where I work at, looked like hell but car is pretty solid, just surface rust. I just had to save it so...
