So in my quest to SOMEDAY have a '75 383/727/8.75 Scamp, I'm running into trouble with power steering pumps and lack of experience. Initially, I rebuilt the Federal pump that was originally on my car (225/904/7.25), painted it up real nice, got the correct BB bracket, and learned that the shaft...

Should I just use the valley pan with no gaskets? Stock 906 heads, not cut. This FelPro valley pan came with FOUR gaskets. I know to put a little goop on the 4 corners of the pan and across the top and rear of the block, but what about around the intake ports on the head? I am considering just...

Hey fellas, With my 1975 Scamp /6 to 383 swap (Schumacher Kit), power steering, column shift auto, factory HP 383/440 manifolds. I keep reading how there's interference with steering shaft outer collar, and how you can't do this setup with auto on the column. What am I missing? Here are three...

As I get closer to completing the rebuild of my 906 heads, I am looking at head gaskets. Any recommendations? This is for my 383 project here: My '75 Scamp 383 Build Since I don't want to lose any more compression, I think I'm going with .020"-.027" steel shim gaskets. Do any of you have...

Well, I screwed up a nice oil pan on my 383 by over tightening. I'm making some progress straightening this out, but using odd combos in effort to hammer the right area. I've read about people "using a 2x4" but I can't imagine how that was effective. How about you? What have you specifically...

I installed new Clevite cam bearings in my 383 build. I slid the Comp Cams camshaft in and it's tight. I read here and on FBBO of some guys scraping the bearings where there's a tight fit. I used Lisle 18000 cam installer tool, and the bearings aren't cockeyed. I pulled the cam and installed...

I made it a goal when I purchased this 383 complete engine. I want to rebuild a Mopar big block on my own. $100 bought this engine 17 years ago from a friend. The numbers on the block reveal it was originally assembled for a 1969 Dodge Charger as a 9.2 to 1 compression 2Bbl engine. I'll show...

Several years ago I picked up a ’68 383 long block. I bought it from a friend of a friend who said it was running when pulled. It is a 9.2:1 2bbl motor. I disassembled it last year thinking I would do a total rebuild (my first ever). I have the resources to do this, but financially things have...

I hope you guys can educate me on this. I have read/heard that the 187 and 699 pans will work on a BB swap in an A-body. How about the pan that is similar - but is not stamped with a number - such as a 1965 383 pan? It looks very similar, but definitely not exact. The "notch" is not as great...
