I asked Tony Mopar from Tony's Parts and he said no difference. Got my block at the machine shop now. Should have the 440 in by the summer.

I have two markings on 440 rods that came out of an untouched RV engine. 4 have 1851535 and MS3049 and DF51 and B. The other 4 have 1851535 and MS3049 and DF51 and LY. What, if any is the difference??

I ordered a Stainless Steel front disc brake kit and they told me on the phone it would be about 4 weeks. They didn't wait 4 weeks to grab my money. Everything is jacked and prices are way up.

Lucky me. Before I retired I was in a communications shop and we had a cable shop across the way. I was able to get the correct color and gauge wires and most of the connectors to rebuild mind where needed. You are correct about 52 year old wiring MoparDan. The resistance increases over time...

Was that $1000 for the complete system inside/out and front to back?

Yes I have used those. Great info.

Looks like the top connector second row. Mine goes off to the left to the wiper motor. There is another that goes to the right up to the lights.

I understand. I have a set of number and letter stamps I have been searching for over a year now.

Check it out. Mine isn't great either but I cleaned it up and made a few better connections and everything works so I'm happy.

Get one from these guys. Saved my butt many times. If you mean the one with the blue crimper on it might go to the wiper motor. Not 100% sure though. Is it hooked up to something? I will try to get a whole picture and send it.

I see you decided to buy a new harness. Probably easier. I rebuilt my engine harness. Keep the old one till you are sure your new connectors match up. The little connectors are hard to find. Is the one for the reverse light that goes to the transmission there? I see the top part.

Hi Russ. Guess I spoke too soon. If you watch the news there have been back to back storms over SoCal. No snow in my area but a lot in the higher elevations and mountains. No road trips right now. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.

You got to love Southern California. Where else can you have a Christmas Car Show in December. What's even better is winning Best In Show. There were 64 cars there too.

Lucky me. I bought the motor from a guy that did what you are doing now. What are you putting yours into?

Actually waiting for the machinist to let me know what he finds. I may be able to get away with a simple hone or 20 over.

It's an RV motor that had low miles. Should be able to get away with a 30 over stock. My machinist said it looked great but had a little lip and would probably need bored. He said it's common because the RV pistons are so far in the hole. Will let you know.

Dropped off the block and crank at the machine shop today. Hopefully it all checks out then the fun can begin.

A lot more clearance too. I had to use a high torque mini starter and still had to dent in the #1 tube. Doug's headers do not fit like a glove.

I will be using a steel crank and some Ross flat tops. Edelbrock performer RPM with 800 Holley and the 906 heads. I'm probably going with a hydraulic 509 cam and stock HP exhaust manifolds. What size cam did you use and what exhaust?

I watched that episode of Nick's Garage. He compared HP manifolds, Max Wedge manifolds and Hooker Headers. The headers were #1, Max Wedge #2 and the HPs were last. Headers and max wedge were close like 5 horses but the HPs lost 50. I might have to rethink my plan. Another thing is my headers are...
