Does the thrust washer look melted at all? It would have to break and then with the right amount of slack in the gear train, it can worm its way into the pan eventually. Not unheard of. Sadly I'd tear the trans apart and replace it.

@@dazeofgloryshopworks5806 After closer observation, it is larger and brownish orange color and 4" outside /3" inside diaameter, 1/8 " thick,. No melting but also found a 1/2 inch long same material and radius with some teeth on it.

I see it at 11:15 on this video. It has a small tab on it.

Thank you. We've worked hard on it and more to come yet!

A good friend of mine. He's 15or so years younger but has the spirit of a hot rodder and the drive to make cool stuff happen. The 440 was one I was building for my 48' Chrysler Windsor gasser project but moving to the country left me hard up for cash enough to sell it to him. Glad it's gonna have a good home

We ain't done with this cool ass wagon just yet...! Just sit back and wait buddy 🤘🏼

10.6:1. Cam is 230 duration at 0.050" and 0.480" lift.

Thanks dude. That's the funny part about KZbin. Sometimes I'm days or weeks away from releasing the stuff I've recorded. Though this one was from this morning. Finished painting the engine bay around noon

Next weekend it'll be between the inner fenders of a 1968 dodge Monaco wagon 😎

I think so too

Can't mistake that intro 🤘🏼

😂😂😂

Thanks dude 🤘🏼. I will always enjoy carburetors. 🤩

You're 100% correct. I need to add a vent to it. I'll revise the bottle and make something a tad more user friendly first 👍🏼

Hahahaha 🤔

Yeah but there are other years. Takes more than a little hole in an oilpan / block to get me down. Lol

Two daughters. One step daughter and one step son. He's in Edmonton military. I'm thinking cammed 318 with a 5-speed swap and go dig trenches with er 🤘🏼

@@dazeofgloryshopworks5806 I’m from Edmonton…we don’t have a military. Just Hockey… we used to have football team…but somehow they were illegal??? Anyhow. Get your tubes tied and let’s get to work. Thanks for the sneak peak to the build plan

@@dazeofgloryshopworks5806 Trenches, we don’t need no stinking trenches. You’re gonna clean it, and discover it just needs a little this here and some of that there and spill elbow grease all over the whole damn thing and end up with an Unique weekend workhorse and a Saturday Night Drive-In Star!

@@1Also I agree. The military is there in spirit but a shell of its former self for sure! I near pleased with him to not join but he was still on the east coast when he did and his dad's family are real good at talking you into things you don't want. He regretted it and wasn't gonna sign up. But now he may do a second term. See what happens. It's been good for him as no one made him grow up till this. I'll take that as a small win for sure.

@@1Also yeah I'm looking at the possibilities. Driveline wise it'll pull the devil out of the ground. With all 8 cylinders that is hahahaha

Haha well if you look at my older videos. A playlist called "cheap 440 rebuild" I think and you can be the judge 😂

And close up you'll see the spark plugs are just old ones. The distributor is a small block one that doesn't work, and all the bolt holes that are exposed have bolts in em to keep the threads clean. Also there is a thin wipe of grease on the ridges of the intake gasket ports. 😉

@@dazeofgloryshopworks5806 okk I see you that’s smart less time in masking

@@1zombster we try to do better each time we do a thing right. And yeah it helps when it's time to install too. Thanks for your comments and checking out the video 🤘🏼

lol bit more than that. Check my older videos. A playlist called "cheap 440 rebuild" I think is the name 😉

Well with the tko600, my 2400rpm at 100-105km/hr highway cruising speeds begs to differ. Mind you, with the 3.92:1 rear gear I used to have in er, I made a top speed of 265km/h. Ask my brother lol he near left fingernail prints in my door handle 😂

Brooke is 5 foot 7 inches tall. How long would you say your leg is from foot to your mid section? My stepson is a motorcycle technician and has worked on more bikes than I have. We may be able to help narrow your search 👍🏼

@@dazeofgloryshopworks5806 with my bike shoes on its around 29.1 inches (74 cm)

Thanks dude. Drone footage was a little touch and go but full props to Dom and Nat for doing what they did. 🤘🏼🤩🤘🏼. Just wish I had more corners and turns hahaha

Dam the sound is so good!

Considering I was riding in the passenger seat while flying the drone it turned out awesome!

@@undermine121wow that’s deadly!! Great job on it!!

@@dazeofgloryshopworks5806bro that was SICKKKKKKK 🙌🏻🔥😎

It's the factory non-a/c alternator bracket that comes on any 95-2002 dodge pickup, van, or Dakota with a 3.9 v6 or 5.2 v8 or 5.9 v8. I enjoy switching older dodge small blocks to the magnum top end and accessory drive 👍🏼

lol yep I used to ramble badly in my earlier videos. Regular conversations with me range from 1-15 different topics in a very little amount of time. Thanks for checking out the video 👍🏼

Oh I had to leave that in the video!!! 😂😂

Are you surprised Ken? Not like any of us are 20 anymore lol.

Yep the 4.8 we put in my kids 80' square body is minty awesome.

Yes sir. My buddy found it in a field in southern ab somewhere about 23 years ago. Sold it to me as a rolling body that had heavy rust. Been driving and running the heck out of er for about 18 years ish. 🤘🏼🤩

They did but they were called the sport deluxe SD model. 396 big block and usually a Muncie 4 speed.

@@dazeofgloryshopworks5806 how about wagons and El caminos??

@@gerry-p9x I haven't heard or seen any evidence of wagons or el camino's at all. There have been convertible models and 2 door hard tops. Seems to be about it.

@@dazeofgloryshopworks5806 neat. Could just imagine a Camino with. Beaumont front end

@@gerry-p9x that would be a dang fine looking rig right there!

I've seen guys do upgrades to big blocks oiling systems. They're fairly in depth and interesting, but I personally haven't experienced a need for it.

I'm thinking about it. I'm checking it over tomorrow after work. See what I can find out on it 🤘🏼. Thanks for your comments as always much appreciated.

lol yeah i was looking back and didn't realize how many small block dodges I'd gone through this past spurt! And to, I was trying to be rr as much done as I could around the homestead before the weather changed so there wasn't my usual timeline events happening like it should. But that brings us back up to date on most of the whirlwind 😅

Thank you!! I honestly always worked with 318's and 360's because I never thought I'd ever find an actual 340!!

Yes sir. Little tuning and she's deadly

lol yeah the morning was +5. So a little rough on a 750 double pumper with no choke horn 😂😂😂😂

Well... I haven't finished the video but it's a 73' 340 I had fall into my lap. Lol

Hahahaha. No sir. Headers, dual flopro ultra exhaust mufflers. And an x pipe to round er out. We had rain the past couple nights and the exhaust wasn't connected so the muffler got a bunch of rain water in er

Yah she's been a bit of a sow about the process hahaha.

The other exhaust tip must be for even weight distribution, is it ? 🤘
