although everyone says the late 70's 440's and 400's are dogs in stock form they will outpreform a stock 318 very easily, I have a stock 400 from RV in a 1977 dodge truck and it works real nice, good on fuel too compared to 318 (more power)

steering rack?

wow the old hemi's fit good, wonder why the shock towers are so much of an issue on the 5.7/6.1 hemi? are they wider?

makes it look like a chebby :x

alot of people here still running a stock rad in stock location and having no issues with cooling, I suggest you check radator/cooling system condition

red will do just fine, long as you know you'll never need it apart!

these shouldn't need tape as they don't seal on the threads on the dipstick side of it, where it screws into the pan would need it though it should have a double flare on the dipstick tube and be a good flare, if its ovaled or off centered thats an issue, also I've seen before that the brass...

:occasion::notworth::hello1::headbang:\\:D/

I wouldn't have taken the engine out of that car, was way too nice looking; thought you were junking a rust bucket...

thousand of other bigblocks, like there falling out of trees:sign3: I don't believe in crossbreeding engines, if you want a chev engine buy a chev, if you want a ford, buy one... craparo's are like assholes you can pick them up all day long for nearly nothing

well that car is ruined, takes as much effort to cross brand as what it would to put a mopar big block in it

the car doesn't yeild a whole lot of parts for An abody but if its big block and the car isn't worth fixing remove it even if your not planning on using it in your A body

thats the proper way to put wires on a bigblock anyway

mini starter from any dakota or newer half ton will work

thank you very much for the pictures, looks like the numbers on the drivers side manifold is 3763103? I have found a set local but I haven't went to look yet, now that I know what I'm looking for it will be easier if the local ones wont fit I will buy one from one of the members here who...

I got mounts from a member on here, and it looks like the passengers side manifold may work but the drivers side definatly won't depending on what your truck was (2wd or 4wd) I would be interested in the manifolds if your willing to sell them; if not if you could snap a couple pictures that...

has different heads then normal 440 (not performance oriented) and also has short shaft transmission that won't work with a car and small block trans won't bolt up oil pan has to be changed as well as pickup tube, motor mounts and manifolds

I'm putting a 400 from a tradesman van into a 1977 dodge 1/2 ton, seemed easy at first, then the mounts didn't want to line up; when they did the engine sat crooked and the manifolds don't seem to want to fit can anyone with a 1972-1980 big block truck post a few detailed pictures of the...

dan, I have read through that article but one thing that confuses me is that the wire runs directly from the starter relay wire to the advance canister on the distributor. It looks factory with the heat resistant coating that mopar used. there appears to be no spot on the carburator or any...

here is what I found on another forum " on some 400 CI's there is a separate Advance Solenoid that is part of the vacuum advance. The solenoid only get power during start to help with starting" this makes sense because the wire went to the relay wire on the starter solenoid (small wire...

nope has electronic ignition box and ballast resistor from factory

no its most definatly electronic ignition, I'm very familure with small blocks and slants but this is the first big block I have had the chance to do much to, I knew slant distributors only fit slants but wasen't sure fitment from small to big block, it looks identical wire definatly goes...

don't mind my stupid question but what purpose does the wire to the vacuum advance serve? I'm new to bigblocks and don't know. will a normal small block distributor fit? its a 400 B engine being removed from a '77 tradesman 300 to go in a '77 adventurer long wheel base stepside

for $1000 I would grab the cuda regardless of weather you get the 440, you could easily double your money if you sell it (saying that is not rotted to death)

then the differential pin will snap, had it happen. the gears are just too weak to handle any sort of power if your going to abuse it, 8-1/4 will hold but to be sure a 8-3/4 will take lots of abuse. if you look at the inside of an 7-1/4 compared to a 8 1/4 you will see what we mean by weak.

what ever a fisherman will pay, because it would be an excellent boat anchor

found out the 400 is stuck pretty bad from sitting:sad7: I think I may buy a local 440 for $150, was rebuilt and put into a boat, boat owner found out car engine spins wrong way for boat and removed it:toothy7:

sounds like 451 maybe the limits of the block from what I gather, and that would be with a stroker kit

I looked at there site a few times, first time when I was getting ready to put a v8 into a dakota (almost $400 for mounts!) I will probably go to napa for a new oil pan/sump and maybe the mounts or maybe the dodge dealer may have something (they did for the valiant)

yeah 440 mounts, pickup and pan should work if I remember correctly, I have done lots of truck to car swaps in small block mopars but this will be the first car to truck BB swap. I'm going find out more details tonight about the engine, if its seized I don't want it
