I appreciate it! However I don't believe I have your business card? I'll have to check for it later. Otherwise, I'll stop by your place someday and pick one up. Thanks!

It was amazing how many people stopped and asked if I needed help. I wasn't really blocking the flow of traffic, but there were quite a few kind hearted people that stopped their rides right in the middle of the road to see if I was ok. All I remember at the time, is in the back of my mind, I...

Unknown at this time. I'll need to check the build docs since I purchased the car only being told that the engine was "professionally built" But you're right. Definitely worth looking into. Thanks!

Still here, Cuda Hunter. Hope all is well with you. 2020 & 2021 found me hiding out from doing anything car related (shows). Even getting out and going somewhere had me closer to home. 22 & 23 did a few car related events in nearby towns. 24 had us all over the map traveling. Including Alaska...

NoCar340 - Many thanks for your explanation regarding the thermostat. As many times I have read about this issue, here and other sites, I never had it pointed out to me as succinct as the photo you posted. I always thought a thermostat was a thermostat...Hmmm? BTW - I did some research with...

My reply is strictly inquiry and curiosity, but how much are you willing to spend on a Challenger that is say > wedg2go Garage . Hopefully, you're not a scammer...In this day and age, who knows any more.

budascuda - silly of me to over think the lop, of this engine, is a little like starting - stopping and that I have "Never" had the opportunity to ever own/drive any ride, through all the years of car ownership, with a fan clutch. So, it's a little bit of a mystery to me and for what it's worth...

You’re right moparleo! Important information about the engine was left out. Apologies for creating a vague post. The 440: It's bored .060 over with Stage III Mopar Performance heads * Edelbrock Chrysler Six Pack intake manifold * Date code correct Holley Carburetors * MSD Ignition * Comp Roller...

My 440 is running a genuine stock Chrysler radiator - 22" wide (3) core - with a stock (6) wide blade fan and stock shroud. I am entertaining the idea of going with (2) 10" electric fans that will pull 2100 cfm. From what I read, this is enough to handle 800 hp. Not really a fan of electric...

Cuda Hunter Welcome back to the valley of smoke!

Pity the cities can't dedicate more to cleaning up. Pity, as well, we can't educate the masses once again about tossing their refuse in a container (remember the old public announcements on tv? The one with the Native American on the painted pony with a tear running down his face after viewing...

The answer to your first question: Mobil 1 contains 1000 ppm of ZDDP. Admittedly, this is bare minimum for any flat tappet cam. Royal Purple contains a little less (A great debate with car show gearheads). I wouldn't go over 1150 ppm, thinking more is better. Which leads me to answer your second...

We must know the same "Folks." From my understanding, either one is good. I just happen to lean towards Mobile 1. The reason? If I remember right, Royal Purple contained a little less zinc and Mobile 1 - as mentioned for flat tappets - was in the ballpark. BTW - There are brands out there...

My little drive, yesterday, prove to be unsuccessful. My ride left me stranded in town for an hour. So, getting out tomorrow might be a "Maybe" at this time. Grrrrr. "IF" I chance it, "NO", I'm meeting with no one. I'm going rogue on this one. Besides, I wouldn't want anyone to suffer with me...
