Anyone know how I can figure out what year 440 I have? Did Chrysler paint orange over blue for the HP440's? Before me, Car was abused, lots of things rigged up, maybe in a wreck since driveline didn't line up (fixed that) but still fixing stuff after a decade.
Steering link was pushing up oil pan, so yesterday I changed tranny mount, added a 1/8 spacer, plus replaced 1 of 2 good engine mounts, thinking that would fix it. Well sort of fixed. Now I have about 1/16" clearance and about 1/2" clearance engine to hood. Will it hit while driving? Is it supposed to be that close? Also about 1/2" clearance from torsion bar. Car sits correctly so I don't know how to fix this. Anyone know of a cheap slender oil pan or will it hit crankshaft? Or instead, should I hammer the current pan in place up about 1/4" or will it interfere with crankshaft? How close are other C bodies? Thanks for any help.
