Ok good to know and will do!!

Ok thanks for checking those cranks!! I’ll order a new balancer since this one looks like it seen better days. Thanks again everybody I’m not doing anything to crazy with this engine. Just re ring it, Probably an upgraded cam and possibly change the pistons since they look deep inside. It did...

Ughh that sucks hopefully that gets resolved!

I gotta try at least!!!

Ok I think I found my dilemma. The crank snout measures 1.528 and googling bore diameter of a stock 440 i.d balancer the bore diameter should be 1.530 so I think the crank snout is worn .002 to where it’s loose and just slides right off to where I’m gonna order a new balancer and hope it’s tight...

Trying to keep this on a budget which I know it’s an e body but new parts are ridiculously expensive!

Might be wear and I wiped it down and it measures 1.528 on the crank area where the balancer presses on. The key way on the balancer looks good. I don’t have a snap gauge to read the inner diameter of the balancer tho.

The rubber is still intact but the center hole is the problem unless the crank is the problem.

I think the balancer is bad because they are usually a press fit and no the thrust is good

I recently picked up a 1975 440 w/trans that the owner claimed low miles that was out of a motorhome winnebago. Checked it all out and disassembled it to make sure it was legit. Did notice heat tabs on the freeze plugs. Engine was clean inside and was rebuild at one time, .030 pistons...

Looking for a set of taillights! I already have the center back up light assembly just need the sides.

It’ll be awhile till I get to it since I just got a newborn but Will do!!

Alrighty I’m just gonna keep it how it is then without the fender tag but built it the way I want it and enjoy it like you said! It’s aways away from getting back on the road but will get there

Ok I was curious about that and there’s no documentation that came with my car which blows but most likely I’m gonna either slap in a 440 or 360 stroker since the 225 that’s in it now looks shot beyond repair. Would like put a fender tag like fasjac posted on post 21!

So I just got a 70 challenger that doesn’t have the fender tag but I decoded the vin and it’s a base model 225 slant 6 but the second digit H got me wondering what options came in this car to where even if I found out what options were created for this car and supposedly had the fender tag...
