440 teardown COMPLETE!!

[moparguy]

Well guys it turns out that a 15 year old kid with some help from his pop can tear down a 440 mag. the engine is all in pieces. I have got a big piece of mopar iron in my garage :headbang: and it is off to Kenyon Machine this week to bored over and cleaned up. I am having the heads baked and dipped due to rust on 4 of the valves. After that the fun part begins. Rebuilding with some speed parts and installing some factory parts. shop is charging me about 300 bucks in total. Anyone ever use them before?

If you want pics just ask.

What exactly are you getting for $300. ? you will need at the least to bake/or dip the block and heads. Replace the cam bearings, main and rod bearings,polish the crankshaft, bore and hone the block, pistons ,pins and rings, core plugs, resurface heads, valve job , seals, gasket set. Thats if everything is good. Cam, lifters,timing chain,gear set. oil pump, fuel pump, gasket sealer,paint.
