Now the fun begins! Engine teardowns are always an adventure. We know basically nothing about this engine so every part that comes off will reveal more of the mysteries within. This 440 Chrysler V-8 is out of our 1937 Ford Coupe dirt track race car that we're looking to get driving again!

Davin, my good man: Oof, you Chevy boys.... :-) That thar 440 oils through the rocker shafts, not the pushrods. In fact, there is quite the different oiling system in that engine you might want to investigate because that's the biggest thing that can derail a 440 build - oiling. Critical stuff. Other than that, the forged crank, the block, all of it is pretty much freight train bulletproof. Have fun! -Ed on the Ridge

Wait....this guy didn't know the difference between the MOPAR and Chevy oiling systems, and he's on a YT video rebuilding this engine? Forget it I don't even wnt to finish the vid. I expect top-level guys when I see these kinds of vids, not people that make major mistakes.

@torrebergey25 3 года назад

I love watching you do the engine tear downs and rebuilding. I also Love that Buick straight 8. One last thing, the date codes on the side of the block for MOPARS are the date, time, and shift the block was cast. Assembly came later, and being from early 1972, that would probably make it a 1973 engine. Hey, Chrysler had produced lot of the forged cranks and when performance went out of fashion, they just used them up.

After the spanking they got in the comments for the way the new liners were fitted, it's gonna be a while, either because the owner will have demanded it be redone correctly, or because they've had to find a fresh block. If the latter, the spin will be "found other issues in testing" rather then "we screwed up".

@vettekid3326 3 года назад

Just from looking at the outside of the engine it looked like it had been worked on before. With the modified oil pan to what looked like maybe the old vacuum balance tubes on the valve covers ( something that was popular in the 70's & 80's ) to the mismatched heads. I think it is a case of different lots of valve springs mixed than some of them getting too hot because if they got hot enough to change color it would soften them up and change the spring pressure greatly as well and that's easy to check with a spring tester.

Since I watch and comment on all of these wonderful videos I don't feel too guilty making a critical comment. The videography is taken to an art form, which is fantastic, but slow motion of someone scraping off a gasket or poking at sludge in an oil pan really doesn't serve any purpose and begins to irritate after awhile. Slow motion of a complicated activity is very helpful. I hope this comes across as constructive criticism. Thank you for all the effort that goes into making these videos.

Hi, I have written before and want to again point out the "Snowball's" coupe is a 1940 not a 1937. The hood is a '37 but the body is a '40. Note all 1937,1938, and 1939 except woodies have the wipers on the roof. This is because the windshield swings open. The "40 is fixed and doesn't open. On the race car there are no holes in the roof but it looks like patches on the cowl where the wipers would have been located. Thanks, George

@billyjoejimbob56 3 года назад

Davin: When the low compression low-lead / no-lead era was phased in, Mopar reduced comp ratios by moving the wrist pin loacation in the pistons. So your fraternal twin heads should not be a big issue, but if the pistons are original, your '72 vintage block will have a comp ratio slightly over 8 to 1. It won't get anywhere near 600 HP. Obviously the bottom end has been appart... more detective work needed!

@fleetwin1 3 года назад

what does "mild match ported" mean? I know next to nothing about mopars, but was thinking that one of the mismatched heads might be a low compression/emissions head....

@PiDsPagePrototypes 3 года назад

@@fleetwin1 Means instead of porting out to larger valves, all that's been done is to match the sizing between all the ports to flow identically, and to ensure there's no stepping up or down in size between the exit of the intake manifold and the port on the head. When added to a proper balancing (as Davin showed in the video), balanced and match ported makes the engine run with less vibration and no uneven loading on the internals, so will run stronger and longer. Even though those heads are different years castings, they're for the same base design, and matching the porting across both heads mean there will be no difference in power made side to side of the engine, assuming the chambers are the same number of cc's volume.
