Pulley alignment issue

Seems like all the small stuff is keeping me from finishing this stroker. I have a 440 Source crank and a 440 Source harmonic balancer. My problem is that my main pulley to water pump pulley alignment is off about 3/8". Its the stock water pump. T…

Help Identifying this

I have done a pretty good job keeping all of my parts together. I would say that I have cleaned up and reused as much as I can. This piece fell out a few months ago when I was dissembling and my "before" pictures are not helping me.

Its a br…

NOT MINE ’69 300 Convert Roller

Syracuse Craigs
1969 Chrysler 300 convertible with no motor or transmission. Rest of the car is mostly complete. Originally came with bucket seats and console. The original buckets are still there but console has been removed. All of the factory tinted glass is good, and all four side windows roll up and down nicely. Rear bumper is straight and solid and in nice shape. Front bumper and hideaway grille were replaced with ones off a Newport that are both in excellent driver quality shape….

1968 HP Valve Covers??

I am getting close to finishing up my ’68 300 440. It was a non-HP motor, but I am using HP manifolds.

I have most of the brackets sorted out, but I am wondering if the valve covers were different on HP vs non-HP.

which fuel pump

I must have threw out my old fuel pump last year when I tore my engine down.

Does anyone know which fuel pump is correct on a ’68 440?
Was it one style for the HP and another for the standard engine? One of these?

Any valve train geometry gurus here

Plugging along on my 440 stroker. The block was zero decked, different lifters, 440 source heads, and the valves were sunk, so a few variables have changed in the valve train since stock. I also would like to keep the stock rocker arms and am using the…
