Hey Nick! It's Reuben from Puerto Rico! Your the reason I was inspired to activate my KZbin account! Thanks for posting the 6-pack 440 dyno video and this 440 Magnum tear down. I've learned so much from you on RB Mopar engines and how to build my '70 440HP engine. Thanks for sharing all your Mopar knowledge, work ethic and for your support and friendship. I love the KZbin and Mopar community. Watching this reminded me that I need to order a windage tray for my engine as well. I never knew that the 6-pack cams were 3 bolt hole bump sticks with double roller timing chains. I also have never seen an LY rod compared to a 6-pack. Blessings to you and Salude!

Nothing better then seeing the best MoPar engine ever made! The 426 HEMI, street and race versions !! Chrysler made historic engines like the 413, 426 Max Wedge,440 Six Pack, 440 Magnum 383 Magnum for the Roadrunner and Coronet. Then the small blocks. The 318, 340, 340 six pack and the 360. Last but not least, the indestructible slant six! What a line-up! Bill from Linglestown Pennsylvania

Thanks Nick. Due to the Corona virus, I've become an unemployed aircraft mechanic. The bright side is, watching your shows has motivated me to get my old hot rod running again. 1954 Ford F100 with a Trans Am front end and a small block 406. For the last twelve years, my job had me traveling all over the country auditing my company's suppliers and contract maintenance providers. I simply never had time to work on my hot rod. Now I have lots. I just replaced the old single point distributor with an aftermarket HEI distributor. It runs pretty decent with static set at 12 deg. But it has an adjustable vacuum diaphragm and when I connect it to the ported vacuum on my Holley 750, it pulls the advance all the way off the charts. As soon as I figure out how to adjust the thing, it should run great. Man I wish your show was on the networks. It's so much better than the shows they have on there now. Those shows end up just being commercials for aftermarket parts. Thanks for being real, Nick.

Lunati hydraulic cam, Eagle H-beam rods, stock crank, and 10.5 to 1 forged Aries pistons .070" over so it's now a 440 Hemi. 1968 vintage block I purchased from Larry Sheppard.

All things being equal, Given the same compression ratio ,cast iron will make more power due to heat retention in the combustion chamber. Reason for coating pistons and combustion chambers is for heat retention with aluminum. Aluminum being lighter and easier to work with for porting or welding without the need for furnace welding or brazing. This will be in teresting,looking forward to seeing your collaboration with lunar garage and UTG . Been watching Nicks garage from nearly the beginning. Keep up the EXCELLENT work.

Nick you measured the volume of the dome space in the head. The combustion chamber is the space in between the head and the piston. Deducting the volume of the piston dome from volume of the head you measured would be the space where Booms happen. The gasket thickness will also add to the combustion chamber volume.

Makers of dome pistons usually tell the buyer how many CCs the dome is. However, calculating deck height and gasket size still is critical.

I know back in the 70s they were thought to be the best....best of the time anyway...I know you don't plan on selling it but if it were mine it would get the best internals and not have to worry about getting on it and breaking a rod seen a few six pack rods do that...I think the get fetigued because of rotating mass..✌️👌👍

Another fascinating video visit! Speaking of broken 440 Magnums, when I lived in Florida, the Highway Patrol was using Fury I 4 doors, with 440 Magnum engines. Top speed that I ever saw was 140. This was late sixties to early seventies. The engines had a habit of blowing engines on a too frequent basis. Fortunately, at the time Chrysler had a long warranty, about 60k miles. Any ideas as to why this was a repeating problem?

Now I understand why you want to try the cast heads vs the aluminium heads Dr.Nick. Aluminium heads don't only have a weight and (possibly) heat scavenging advantage ( or not), but more importantly the (slightly) smaller combustion chamber you say will result in a higher compression ratio. How much difference do you think it will make Nick ? Will head gasket thickness play a role as well ? Will it actually make a difference on the dyno ? It's gonna make for cool episodes of Nick's Garage I tell you. Anxious to see the diff. between headers and exhaust manifolds just for Schitts & Giggles. Thanks again for sharing Nick.
