- This is it the moment we’ve all been waiting for, THE FIRST START AFTER THE REBUILD!! Watch as we start the engine for the first time since we did the rebuild. All in all it went very smooth and I am very happy. We have some work to do on the carburetor to rebuild and tune to the new engine configuration.
The 440 engine in this car has been rebuilt and includes the following:
-New Gaskets all around
-New Freeze Plugs all around
-New Water pump
-Hughes mild street cam
-Gasket match Intake and Intake ports on heads
-HP Manifolds
-TTI Dual Exhaust
that's great! I'm rebuilding my 1966 Chrysler imperial with a 440 a lot of work and parts to make this engine look stock with that big ass heavy AC Compressor!
Great job guys. Love the sound of a 440!!!!!
Thank you! I want to get some footage once the carb is tuned in.
Congrats man!!! I think I was more nervous for you. Sounds great.
LOL! Thank you. Yeah I was pretty nervous, it was a HUGE relief when it fired up!
Joe looks as attentive and alot more relaxed than when we started mine for the first time! I was quite concerned as I've never done a fresh rebuild then started it for the first time! So glad your's worked out too! Congrats! You're reaction at 11:40 was about the same as mine!
I can’t say it enough, Joe REALLY knows his way around these old Chryslers, he has done more of these initial starts than he can count between his own and friends, he really is like a Mopar Doctor the way he examines and tunes these things.
Yes, I’m really glad Kevin got my expression on camera, I was SO RELIEVED it was all working as it should!
Congrats on your successful rebuild, I'm sure you'll notice better performance from that 440 now. Between this and the new exhaust, you should be in good shape. Your videos and work on this continue to inspire. As far as the carburetor, I have always been partial to Carters (and their Edelbrock descendents) but that's a matter of personal taste. Good luck with the carb & tuning.
I MISS MY 68 300!!!
As a fellow mopar you tuber I love the videos keep it up
Thank you! We have many more projects and series to come…..
This is another great series of vids. thanks for posting, looking forward to the final Road Test.
Thank you, comments like these are very much appreciated! We still have lots of work to do on the interior and roof, and some tweaks to the carburetor, but hope to have it out next spring / summer for its maiden voyage!
Nice mopar
Thank you!
great work I got a 66 Plymouth fury iii took the 318 poly out and put a 360 I really want a 440 but nice work
That is one healthy sounding 440. Those edelbrock carburetors can be finicky as far as running rich.
I'm looking at a '69 right now to be my daily driver. I'm so excited! #CaliGirl
Great job guys. I just got my 440 disassembled and heading to machine shop today. Doing a mild rebuild as well. I hope mine goes as well as yours. Your videos will be a huge help once I start assembly in the spring. Out of curiosity, what kind of hp and torque are you expecting?
Sweet C-body! What that screwdriver was supposed to do when it was sticking up from the carb?
It was forcing the choke open to let more air in ... it was running super rich (to much fuel) and we needed to get 20 to 30 minutes of run time over 2000 Rpm to brake in the cam. Carb tuning will come soon the guys have fixed the roof leak and vinyl top . Stay tuned! (Kevin)
Now it`s clear to me. Thanks for your reply and keep up the good work!
Good video and congrats on the rebuild and start up. I just did my own 440 and now I’m hearing about all the cams going flat. What type and mfg of cam did you use and what did you do to aid break in.
Shorty headers off of a B body works on these. That's what I out on mine. Just a heads up if you want that little extra.
Did you ever finish the car? Haven't seen any more videos
John Fitcheard it’s more done than last time it was shot... new vinyl top is on. We will be adding a sniper EFI and electronic ignition this summer. So stay tuned for updates with this 300.
How's this engine doing as of now? Any changes?
Shes running wayyy to high gotta knock her down. That carb needs adjusting some. And for her not to start back up immediately after cutting it off seems like there is a issue someplace else too. Some fine tweaking she will be great!. My old gal has a 440 im going to be doing some repairs on as time goes on. Head gaskets, exsaust manifolds, and just over all freshing up.
What does the hammer on the carb do, other than confuse the non mechanically inclined like me?
OK- so first off, excellent question. Probably wasn’t really explained well in the video, but the carb was dumping more gas into the engine than it should have been. Now, during a break-in scenario like we had, the carburetor isn’t perfectly adjusted since we made changes to the engine, and it’s always better to have too much gas (too fat) than not enough (too lean) if you had to pick. Joe thought (we later found out was not the case) that the floats in the carburetor were stuck, and by tapping on it with a hammer would unstick them. This can commonly happen after a carburetor has sat unused for a year or more like mine was during this rebuild. We did later find out that the floats were fine, but other metering rods and seals may have been causing the issue.
Thanks for the explanation, and all the videos. I have a 1966 Imperial Convertible (440) that likely has a stuck or burned exhaust valve but I'm inspired by your vids to go through the motor myself. (and that repaint in Chry Turquoise would be nice too). Looking forward to your next video.
THANKS! We will be coming out of "hibernation" soon
Sounds like you gotcha a skookum choocher there, wa! Did I miss how you fixed the water leak problem in the cabin? Caught the aftermath.
ooooh she's skookum! No, you didn't miss anything on the leak yet. We will probably try tackling it this winter, probably the next phase of this 300. Stay tuned, I'm sure fixing this rear window leak will be a shit show!
Nice how you let the smoke out without breaking anything too :)
Wait until you see it now! I think AVE him self would be proud! ... soon watch for more vids! (Kevin)
Do you have a Cam part number? I like how it sounds!!! Rebuilding a 440 for my 69 Super Bee.
Hey it sounds like the choke is stuck . Whats the estimate of this car as is?
It sounds real nice what is the name or part number for the cam i got a 400 motor
Congrats - sounds healthy! Which Hughes cam did you use?
Thank You! cam specs are shown at around 7:35 in this video: th-cam.com/video/qzK_GKdGi2M/w-d-xo.html
@@ric0000....Hey rtchrg440....did you even watch this video? You asked about the Hughes cam, but he actually posted the cam specs for a long time just for people like you who ask about specs. He even mentioned that people ask about cam specs, so they posted the info for a long time. "YET"......you still asked about the specs. Why do people ask redundant questions? Do people actually listen to others when they try to help? This is a pet peeve of mine. This generation never listens to anyone teaching anything. No matter how hard I try to instruct others born after 1990....they hear nothing.
@@ric0000 ..I watched your entire vids.....and you really cared about sharing this experience. Great job brother....as I built my 440 too, and loved your take on it. MOPAR Brotherhood....
@@tyhighway2127 Thank you very much, we appreciate it. We want to try and help others out with whatever information they may pick up from watching the videos, we know we're not perfect but if it helps someone out or provides entertainment we are glad to do it!
Are you from Waterloo, NY? This looks like a car someone there had
Tom Thomson we bought it out of Waterloo, a derby guy had it
Joe's Garage that is the car I thought it was.
@@joesgarage9953 Thank You for saving it from a derby guy. I am a C body guy from days of old. It hurts my heart to think of how many beautiful C bodies have died at the hands of those sorts. I know it's a part of American history in general, but willful destruction is a fringe behaviour you can see anytime the masses start to riot in places like Baltimore, LA, and Ferguson MO.
Everyone has a deep seated dark side that can be brought to the surface by the right catalyst,, but plain old destruction, for the sake of chaos, is awful on these old classics.
I have a 66 300 two door that is just bitchin, and a 68 300 Convertible, both cars are savagely sinister looking with 8 inch wheels and 275/60/15's on the front end and 295/50/15's on the rear, still with room to spare.
Subbed when you showed up on my suggested list. Hope you are still loving the 300 experience. It's a bitchin ride. Very cool that you went with the proper turquoise on the 440. Looking for more content as you get a chance. Godspeed in 2020 pandemic.
Do you possibly know the specs of the cam you put in?
Nice job. What is the cam size?
Hey bud love those videos. I got a 67 New Yorker trying to work on installing a new carborator but don't know where to start. Can you give me some pointers?
Ashur Maisom what are you trying. To do?
I'm trying to replace my carborator and also replace my brakes. I don't know where I can start. I have an issue with my brake lines my mechanic said see if your brake lines are good if not then you need to replace them. But I don't know how to check the brake lines.
You can “flush” the hard lines with brake cleaner and a blow gun. But if the rubber hoses and cylinders are old, I’d replace them.
As far as carbs are concerned, what is your setup? Stock 440? I’d go with at least a 650 vacuum secondary Holley. Or maybe a 700-750 at most. With a vacuum secondary

Why didn't you guys blast the exaust manifolds before install. ?
Good question, as you probably have seen from this video and previous, our shop neighbor wrote “please paint” on the manifolds. There are two reasons and I’m not even going to lie; 1) laziness 2) Even after blasting and high-temp painting after a little while the manifolds end up starting to rust anyways, so I figured I wouldn’t bother.
If I could do it again, sure, it’d be worth it to blast and paint, but honestly I’m just glad I have the HP and not the original manifolds on there.
ric0000 I have seen other spray them with dry lube and once it gets hot they look pretty good. Look into it. Stock greyish look to them.
@@ric0000 eastwood's manifold dressing looks gorgeous on properly blasted and seasoned manifolds, as does Calyx. I am considering having ceramicoat done to my next set, to see if it lasts,, and reduces heat rejection from underhood.
@@patrickwayne3701 Keep us posted!.... I should have coated mine with something.
