Howard’s roller lifters, fit is way to tight, had a hard time getting them back out. At ropes end with machine shop and mopar.

Fresh from the machine shop

after paint

Hate to admit it but i did not ream the bushing! Hard lesson learned if that did it. At the least, i will go back with the AR cover and properly fit the bushing. I took my B block to the machine shop today and we will start planning the build later this week after it’s cleaned and checked...

I should of put a big blob of jb weld between the cover and the water pump, it works better than what i did! leaning towards a jesel belt drive

mancini, either way i think they source the same supplier. Anyway, cam is pushed forward and seized and i cannot turn the crank either. Depressing since i was bringing it home from the paint shop. It was a motorhome 440, cast crank and rods with icon pistons. I loaded up my 400 B block on the...

lol, I will show you! Just got the timing cover off. Two piece button w bearing, under acceleration I think distributor gear pushed the cam forward, deceleration cam moved back and button fell off. That’s what I see anyway. Factory timing cover so that’s the weak link I think.

440, hyd roller, double row timing gear, Trick Flow Cam, Distributor has bronze gear, I installed a cam button w .005 clearance or very close to that. There is now an outward impression on the Timing cover. openening things up further today. There is carnage somewhere, while running it started...

Very happy with it, paint is not perfect, still some little stuff to do. Bumper pieces have shipped, rear side markers on the way, car has fiberglass fenders and hood so no front side markers, will work that out later if i need to. Unfortunately i put my foot in it driving home and ended up...

Getting close

Oh boy! Well lets open the can of worms and demons! The color is Silver Ice Metallic, a GM color! Its a 318 base car so not worried about it. street/strip car so just want it to look good and go faster than it looks. Should have the car back from the paint shop this week or next.

and more

Close to what I want

Progress

Making some progress, motorhome 440, TFS heads, New Pistons, Lunati cam, TFS intake, Holley, etc etc. Motor and Trans by me, bodywork and paint by Underdog. Just got paint on yesterday. pics to come

All is good, talked to Hughes and the shop that did my shortblock. balance is good, i have the trick flow .600 lift cam, kind of a thumper at idle. The vibration smooths out with acceleration, if it was an actual imbalance or mismatch of balancer, flexplate etc, it would try to come out of the...

Here we go! 78 motorhome 440, external balance. rebuilt the motor, some goodies in it etc etc. New BM flexplate 237, the one with crescent notch. and a New Hughes 24-30 stall convertor. Engine has a large vibration first startup and a little tuning, literally too much vibration to adjust idle...

Well....from the bottom it shall be! Picked up my short block yesterday and the machine shop owner (e-body guru) says its way easier from underneath. He also said installing the cam bearings are worse than installing headers, glad he did that and not me! Thanks everybody for the headsup on...
