Hey man, didnt see your message. I'll have a video about that soon. Just waiting on my track day to come so that I can test it properly before I claim something and it not being true

3/4" thick aluminum 👍

@@nightwrencherperformance did u look into a different/ custom pilot bearing or was the input shaft bottoming out in the crank? Do you think I could just use washers on the bolts instead of a big spacer? I wanna put the same power train in my ramcharger

@thebenhemoth the bellhousing is for a T56 but the transmission is a TR6060. There is no bellhousing available for a mopar TR6060 so you have to use a chevy bellhousing which is 3/4" shorter. If you try to bolt it up as is, the transmission will bottom out in the crank and the throw out bearing would be too close to the clutch. You can use washers to space out the bellhousing, sure. With washers you wont be able to lock everything together with the dowel pins and could destroy the transmission with enough torque against it but thats up to you.

@@nightwrencherperformance did you look into using the shorter input shaft?

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Its called Petty Blue and the hood is the stock flat hood with a 3inch cowl scoop riveted on top. You can buy the fiberglass versions of the hoos that have the scoop built in.

@@nightwrencherperformance hey wat u running ported vacume or manifold lmk idk which one to hook it up to I have a 340

@brawler1997-v6t i'm running a CD-1 so its all electronic with no vacuum advance. It depends on what youre running for total timing but typically the stock routing is ported but a lot of people like manifold. If your ignition timing is set, try plugging the advance to manifold vacuum to see if RPM goes up. If it does, leave it there.

@@nightwrencherperformance hey I have a question so I have a 73 charger 340 Magnum timing is 15 degrees after tdc it runs bad what should timing be ?

@brawler1997-v6t is that 15 degrees at idle or total? Where in the RPM range does the car run bad?

Thank you! I appreciate it!

The 383 will definately fit no problem, the transmission, not so much 😂

We're in mexico. Theres no OSHA here 😂

@@nightwrencherperformance Doh.

We gotta put it to the test soon 😎

🤫 Don't be scared it's just a street car

It's an open diff so I have to pick up a sure grip unit for it. Its also missing the rear brake hardware, only has the backing plates and the yoke is the wrong one for the driveshaft.

@@nightwrencherperformance What sure grip did you buy? I want one with no clunking but affordable. Not 800 dollars.

Dr. Diff sells new Sure grip units for like $400 I think

@@nightwrencherperformance How good are they? What type? Cones, clutches or gears?

Theyre basically OEM reproductions with clutches. No Bolts Left Behind had one in his challenger, worked pretty good.

Its typically not a good idea because it melts plug wires and sounds bad but I couldnt put the engine on the floor with headers 😂

Oh nice! I hope it goes well for you! I'm dropping this engine into a car this week 👍

100% right, you can never be too clean.

Hey man, good to see you! Nah, the old channel is still moving but this channel is for like vlog stuff and the other one is for videos for teaching different topics. I have a new video releasing on the other channel soon 👍

I think you may have misunderstood what I said. If you can tell me what exact time in the video that you're talking about, I can clarify it for You.

@@nightwrencherperformance just goin by memory, i think it was about plasty gauge only reading one/1000, which means it didnt get squiahed enough so the bearings would be TOO LOOSE

@@WilliamMunny-d8s What I said was that I reinstalled the same bearings and did not have the crank polished so with the fasteners at the stock spec, the crank journals were around 2-2.5 thou, which is good but since I installed main studs, cranking down on the main studs, the tolerance TIGHTENED UP to about 1.5-2 at the higher torque spec and that the clearance would have been too tight. Ideally, I would want to set the clearance around 2.5-3 thou. The only thing loose on this engine was the piston to wall clearance which ended up around 5-6 thou. I hope that cleared things up, but if you have any more questions lmk.

@@nightwrencherperformance ok, gotcha

I think you're right. Ive definately built worse and made good power in my day 😂

Yeah, thats a good idea too. I dont have water at my garage so I gotta use the other stuff, mainly gasoline 😂

Lubing it with break in oil is a good idea for sure

That I did what? Put the lifters in one by one while running the oil pump?

@@nightwrencherperformance I have been enjoying watching you do what you are trying to do and figure out without the proper equipment and I was flash backed back to when I was a young man, 14 and my grandfather, great uncle and grandfather's brother running the old family farm and they would get stuff like that old block you got from Facebook marketplace except they would get stuff from bartering, horse trading, hay/straw trading or swapping for the stuff they mostly needed except for the things that they found out at the Fairgrounds, or Farm show swapping meets and shows. They would always afterwards if they needed anything else it was the hardware or parts store in town about 9/10 miles away from the farmhouse.

Your technique works but it's extra work and trust me I triple check anything and everything, I would rather do that with the amount of those and transmission repairs that I do. I understand completely. I'm a do it once check three times.

This engine did not have a rear main retainer and I pulled the one off the 361 a few months ago so it was one of those details that is easily missed because it LOOKS like it goes one way, but it actually goes the other way

No one 😂 Just watching youtube videos or looking it up online every time I wanted to change something until it just kind of clicked

Rebuild in a can is all snake oil 😂 theres only a few that have an oil additive that helps oil stick to the walls to promote ring seal but thats it. Its not gonna fix a wiped out bearing 😂

Very cool. I like the SBM, they're zippy little motors.

I dont like the hyd flat tappet cams but thats what I got and it hasnt failed me yet 😂 it has a decent profile so hopefully it survives it little while in the 383.

Doing things in Australia definately makes things more difficult since getting parts delivered to that big island is not that easy.

Thats awesome man, tons of torque in that little motor!

Definately needs it. Its got a stock 1600 stall with a decent cam

Thank you sir, I appreciate it!

Thank you Mr. Mopar Nut 👍

Definately. If you know what you're looking at, you can really save some money on the rebuild. This 383 is in better shape than my 361 was so if my 361 took 14lbs of boost without breaking, this one can easily handle more now 😂

We must have bought the same motor or something because thats exactly what happened 🤣

@@TheProchargedmopar and theres more to come 💪👍

Im not sure if you noticed but I'm using a moroso oil pan that has a built in windage tray.

Yes I saw that your doing a fine job brother keep it up wasn't knocking your work at all I'm glad to see a young man working with my favorite engine 383 I noticed the oil pan after I commented my bad keep up the good work buddy

No problem, I appreciate it! The oil pan got switched out at the end of the video and it was never mentioed so it wasnt super obvious.

I've never had an issue using silicone on core plugs. I use permatex ultra black it's antifreeze safe.

Thank you! I have plenty more coming up!

What were you expecting? A 10k engine rebuild? I'm still gonna make 5-600hp on this motor just like I did the 361 regardless 😂

They were pretty sick huh 🤘

Yes 😂 he's an import guy and doesnt like the sound of a V8

How much gap do you think it should have?

Not for boost or nitrous…for a high rpm flat track motor who the hell cares

@@nightwrencherperformance it’s fine especially for the type of build you’re doing

@@localenterprisebroadcastin5971 Exactly. At least somebody is using their noggin.

@@nightwrencherperformance well some of us grew up throwing giggle gas and turbos at 200k motors to send em off the proper way…strangely the older worn out motor handled the stress much better…this was because the rings were already worn out and had no problem dealing with the thermal expansion 🤣…was there tons of crankcase pressure? Sure was…but it didn’t matter because we routed the PCV system to the turbo intake 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you 👍
