[Found!] 1978 440 parts needed (budget build)

[Skeeter007]

Starting the task of collecting a few parts for my build.
Parts I'm looking for are at the moment:

Mopar performance Valve covers
Aluminum water pump housing.
Aluminum water pump.
RB Spool mounts (1973->)
187 oil pan with pick up

When the engine gets back from the machine shop:

Pistons Pre smog stuff
Cam
carb (750 Dp or Vac sec)

Parts I have already are as follows:

Mopar M1 intake single plain
Mopar Performance distributor
Direct connection 1973 K-frame RB


Do you think I'll need anything else you may have. Pm me.

Some of these parts are better off buying new. But if you have one with little to no miles on it, I'm interested.

Shipping will be to Barrie Ontario Canada l4n-7c3

I'll bump when I get the engine back.
Thanks for not flaming my post. New to MOPAR ex Ford (Mustang guy)

PM away

I know alot of Mopar guys like the Keith Black pistons, I opted for the Speed Pro set that I got with a Summit rebuild kit, it was less expensive than what I thought it would be, I ended up spending about $900 shipped. Full rebuild kit, forged pistons (they don't sit deep in the hole like the original ones) w/ moly top ring. That was including the MP cam kit, Comp Cams double roller timing set, and high volume oil pump. If it was an RV engine your original pulleys may not line up if you swap the water pump housing, but I think at that point you won't have a problem finding stock pulleys / accessory brackets from another vehicle that will work.
