Well I did it !!
« on: September 07, 2009 - 01:40:41 PM »
Today I made up my mind and made the final decision, enough waiting aroune !! .......... I asked my wife if I could buy another 440  :smilielol:

She just looked at me, smiled and said "Yes honey".  Every man needs a wife like mine  :2thumbs:

I ran across a 70 model fully built for a drag car, Except for a few minor adjustments for street use all I plan to do is change out the monster cam for a healthy loper .484 lift. I already got the intake and carbs so I will also swap that out too. I've just been wrestling with what to do, keep putting of making the decision to do something. I'll pick it up in a couple weeks, pull out the /6 and tranny and by spring the 71 Dart will be repaving Murphy Ridge rd.  :burnout:  :roflsmiley:  :2thumbs:  :cheers:

Why ?   ..............  Ya never seen a 440 before ?  :smilielol:  :smilielol:  Sorry for that smartassless remark, I'm about as excited as you can get.  :roflsmiley:  I'll try with the pics but of late my old pc has been giving me fits in a number of ways, one is my picture software and the other is that I can't click on a direct link.........jams up my puter every time. I have missed out seeing a lot of pics here that are put on like photobucket etc. I have to actually unplug and reboot, start up all over.  :pullinghair:
I'm stupid at a lot of things, but none more so than puters.  :roflsmiley:

...Umm Jim,

  I saw a couple off 440's sitting in you Mopar Barn just a couple of weeks ago. What can this do for you, that those can't with a little help?   :dunno:

 I think I get it...You are cornering the market on 440's.    :naughty:    :burnout:

Easy answer Mike, it's basically ready to just drop in. I don't remember if I mentioned this possibility to you or not while you were there? I sometimes find it hard to rationalize economically doing things like this. I know sounds dumb but this way the $$$ is spent all at once  :roflsmiley:  And besides I'm getting this built motor for less than what I spent building the one in the 72 over three years ago. And I'm having trouble seeing little things like marks on a torque wrench  :roflsmiley:  But motor mount bolts etc. are easier to find when I drop them.  :smilielol:

Neal I know your not too keen on purple shaft cams, but for my use they serve me well, I've installed 4 over the last few years and had no problems and compartively speaking they are reasonable $$$. And you can install them "blind", I have no trouble feeling the lobes pass through the bearings.  :bigsmile: just go slow and easy so as to not nick anything.  :2thumbs:  Pam did say it would be nice to have Neil help  :2thumbs:  I said "Hell..........if he were here I'd build one, er have him build one and I'd sit back and watch."  :cheers:
