I have a creaking or popping sound when I take off. I can't figure it out. It didn't do it with the 383. Happens during normal take-offs, not a hard launch. The clutch is the same one I had with the 383, maybe 1500 miles on it. Any ideas?

Will a 5 pin box work with a 4 wire setup? Will it even start?

Finally got my 440 kicking and all seems good except for the damn rear seal. My 383 leaked too. I used the billet aluminum setup from Indy Cyl. Heads. Guess I have my winter project all lined up. What have you guys had success with?

I want to be sure this is installed right. The fork rod that attaches between the Z bar and the clutch fork has a slight bend. Does the bend angle toward the middle of the car? That's how I have it now. I cannot tell from the diagram in the service manual group 6 clutch section fig 9. By the...

Well, the engines in, the front disc brakes are done, and the power steering is back. Got to bolt on everything else, and it's ready to run. Can't wait.

Has anyone used this Limiter plate from FBO Ignition?

Hello. I am building a 440 for my 69 Roadrunner. It is a motorhome engine and it came with an extra forged steel crank. It has that crank, a 509 cam and about 10.1 comp. I have the electronic ignition that came with it in 76. Took it apart to clean and lube. It has two different springs. What do...

Why did Chrysler engineers shift the old classic engines a bit to the right?

I'm building a mild 440 for my 69 383 4-speed Roadrunner. Some people have told me a 440 has too much torque for a stock 383 frame. They say I should weld in the torque boxes and frame connectors. This 440 has 10.1 comp and a 509 cam, maybe 450 HP. What do you guys think??

I got an after market billet aluminum rear main seal housing from Indy Cylinder Heads. It worked great on my 383. I want to use it on my 440 but they want big bucks for new side seal material. I measured it at .1250 diameter rubber cord. Has anyone else had this issue and what measurement and...

Good info here. Sent to me by Tony Mopar of Tony's Parts. Pay close attention to the direction the shoes actually face. Rounded part toward the housing. Really helped me.

This is the tray that came with the motorhome 440. Is it the same as the one used in the HP engines?

How does this go on the Z bar. Is there only one? Pictures please.

The Oh-no bird lives in South America. He is a large bird with a wide wingspan and a large set of nuts that hang down about 6 inches. Unfortunately, his legs are only about 2 inches. It is said as he comes in to land you can hear him saying OH NO, OH NO.

What do you guys use to seal the rear galley plugs?

I have two markings on 440 rods that came out of an untouched RV engine. 4 have 1851535 and MS3049 and DF51 and B. The other 4 have 1851535 and MS3049 and DF51 and LY. What, if any is the difference??

You got to love Southern California. Where else can you have a Christmas Car Show in December. What's even better is winning Best In Show. There were 64 cars there too.

I am building an RV 440 for my 69 Roadrunner. It will be a mild street build with about 10.5 comp, 509 cam, 906 heads. Because of starter and power steering header clearance I am thinking of using my stock HP exhaust manifolds. Thoughts and suggestions please. Thanks

OK, I have heard if you want change to front disc brakes on a 69 Roadrunner with 11 inch drums all the kits require you to change the spindles. What is the truth? Are there kits that do not require a spindle change? Thanks
