My next work will be a Chrysler M440, very rare engine down here nowadays.
This guy came from a reference, long story short, he had the shortblock rebuilt and now needs me to finish the engine and install it in the boat. Problem being it's missing a few parts, I wanted to ask some of the Chrysler gurus onsite which ones, if any were shared with the 318 or 361. Those are more "findable" parts. -Starter (this is the most important) -oil dipstick and tube -oil cap for valve cover -PCV for valve cover -Distributor rotor, cap, condensor and points or EI kit. -alternator is missing too but I can adapt one easily. Reference numbers for current date spark plugs, oil filter, carb rebuild kit and distributor (seems like a prestolite) would be quite helpful too. Is there any mod available for going with a single impeller pump? Pics of the monster:

Well it seems we are missing the bellhousing too and it's a little harder to come by.
Does anyone know about the above questions and if the bellhousing for this 440 is specific or the same as the other V8s? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |

Eric the distance is 6.5cm, that's like 2 1/2'' (between centers)
I might be able to find a bellhousing from a 318 or 360 but I'm not sure they are the same and no Chrysler guru has noted this thread yet. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |

Yeah I'm currently looking for what spark plugs people like the most on their Mopars, is there a preferred kind, or will anything that fits work just fine? Is there a FRAM of spark plugs? I'm also on the same boat for the Carburetor. What's the best carb for the old Chryslers? I know an edelbrock wont need to be modified, but is the Holley worth the extra $$$? ------------- Proud 1968 mustang owner and now http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6454&sort=&pagenum1" rel="nofollow - 1970 Mustang |
