Pat is in Brantford Ontario. I used his kit in my 46RE for my Ram and I couldn't be happier, he's sold lots of friends kits, parts and transmissions over the years.

#2, 727's are easy peasy, if you've done one you're good to go, use an FSM as a reference. The man you want to talk to when he comes back from FL is Pat at SMR transmission....he can set you up with a kit for that 727. He forgotten more about TF's then most transmission builders will ever know.

That was kind of my thoughts being it is basically a bone stock engine. But a little reassurance is worth the cost of admission

1973 440 with Forged crank, Stock LY rods, TRW L 2266F .030 pistons. At the point of ordering my final parts before assembly and trying to decide whether I should be going towards and Fluid Damper or sticking with a stock style Dampener. So I'd like some opinions, up till now I've always used...

The company that produces them is Spectra-Premium of Boucherville, Quebec, everyone else is just reselling them. Nick

About two years ago I met a Spectra rep at a trade show, I talked to him about both applications and fit and finish. He promised they would take my concerns into consideration. By the sounds of it, they weren't BS'ing me

I've seen it on truck 318's, truck 360's and truck 440's, I'm not sure what the logic was, but in HD application's, it seems to be what was done.

I don't really care about being different, my ragtop is my baby, it's getting a small block, but I haven't decided what flavor, if I go Magnum, it will be dressed like an LA anyway Nick

I just threw up in my mouth a bit... Lol

I guess it depends on availability and what you want to do, maybe you're a die hard numbers guy, externally you can have it look stockish and retain the numbers matching motor while having some fun. Other guys just like to prove what can be done. I'm still. Debating my engine choice for my...

Buy a replacement 94-01 Ram, they're cheap and 1" deeper....

Ahhh okay. Yeah you're right about this 383 being different from the one you gave to that gentleman, as this one's a 66. Nick It's going to get a good going over and the 268H. I was able to find a 69 dated 4 barrel intake and a 187 pan, just need to find a waterpump housing for it.

Mike is your Windsor a 383 car? I ask as I have that 383 I bought off Murray to put together for my sport fury.

I appreciate the input, as I said, it's a temporary engine, as eventually it and the 727 behind it will be replaced with a 500 stroker and A833, I'm just tired of pushing cars around. I have this 440 sitting here fresh with everything but a cam and lifters.

My Achilles heel admittedly is camshaft selection. The specs of this particular engine are a 73 440 truck block, 452 heads, standard bore. Craptastic compression (8.2:1?) I just want to get it running, and healthy. It's a temporary engine at best... I've toyed with the idea of something...

Could be a temperature related thing, I usually preheat my rattle cans by submerging the bottom 2/3rds in warm water for 5-7 minutes, then shake them well for another 2-3 minutes. It helps to make sure everything is a liquid again, including the pigment sitting on the bottom of the can. I've...

For a budget minded builder like myself, for bang for the buck, it's pretty damn close. Nick

For what it's worth, I painted my 318 with Mopar engine paint from the 70s and it's much darker then I expected, I'm going to leave it as is because I don't want to paint it again. Here's some more examples Duplicolor in natural light Mopar No flash With flash

Silly question, but are you guys preheating the rattle cans to make sure that it's at proper temp before spraying? That can effect pigmentation. Below are two engines painted with Duplicolor Chrysler Blue... A photo of a set of original paint valve covers (with the usual fade)

To all those saying the A engine 727 was uncommon in cars, how many would you like? Every single small block fury I've owned has had a 727 in it. Nick
