.....slack? How much is acceptable. 440 motor. Not a big horse motor. Just a driver. It looks like the slack may be about 1/2" or maybe a little more. Is this acceptable or should it be changed out. I've got a new kit coming but if this is within spec i'll shelve the new kit for later. Your...

Can't wait to get started. I've got the 400 block and a 440 crank and a new set of headers an intake and i'm ready for some details. Tell me about your cam choice and other little details so i can continue gathering parts. Heads will be 906 cast with my port and polish job. I'll start tearing...

I traded for a 62 Belvedere 2 dr post and it has a 318 poly in it. Just for the hell of it i'm going to see if it will fire. Filled the radiator, no leaks. Pulled the plug wires. Pulled the plugs. Sprayed WD in the cylinders for overnite. Tomorrow i'll get new plugs, wires, points, dist cap and...

I have a small block duster and a big block duster and the headers on my small block are more of a ***** to deal with than my 440 car. What headers do you guys use on your small block car? Mine hang pretty low also . Give me some ideas.

I bought one disassembled. No valve covers, missing two plug tubes, distributor. Two broke rods and the crank was scored a little. I think the crank can be built up and turned back down. What would you guys do with it? How much horse power can be achieved with this little motor? I can part it...

I did the conversion from slant/440 on the 73 Duster and it still has the slant fuel line in it. Do i need to go bigger dia. and if so what vendor will have em? Can i get my own tubing and make my own? Any tips on this will be appreciated.

This issue or question came up on another post and some of us felt this should be a stand alone topic so here goes. We hear of HP projections at the crank on a motor and then there are projections of rear wheel HP which is considerably less than that at the crank. What in your opinion or fact...

The #s on the end are 911973. I has some purple paint on it. Would you know the specs on it or know where to point me to find em. It's out of a 440. Thanks Bill

Posted this over on BBD and will get some info from here. Got a 72 duster 318 and am having a hell of a time getting em in. Got the car about 2 ft off the ground and trying to go in the bottom with em. Raising the motor up on the pass side and it looks like the steering is in the way. Do i need...

Just asking because i don't know. Is the 413 and the 426 wedge blocks the same block just bored out differently? How are the heads different if so?? Cranks different? How do these two motors differ? Any web sites to go to to better tune up on this issue? Thanks as i know you guys will know.

Well we pulled it out thursday and hauled it up this A.M. and tore into it. Slight bit of schrapnal in one of the crank bearings but no damage to the crank. In the heads there is leakdown of oil from the stems of the valves so we pulled off a couple of springs and they are VERY sloppy. The holes...

I had a 318 built by a local performance shop and was to be a 300 HP motor. Well to say the least it hasn't impressed me at this point in time. The shop hasn't impressed me with their support for what ever reason. I think this is because they are more chevy and ford people as they don't have the...

...tube is loose in the hole. New motor and everything is new. Do i shim this thing or get a new one. Crank case is ventilated but it just blows the tube out. I know this should be tight but it's not. Buy a new one or what???
