Patching a Disintegrated Outer Wheelhouse
zhlédnutí 665Před 11 měsíci
I finally put some more work into the Polara... Baby steps! The original wheel arch AND most of the outer wheel house were long gone, with only a hodge-podge of bondo, cardboard and fiberglass making up a long-since failed repair. This video shows some of the challenges involved when there is little frame of reference in terms of locating your panels.

This video (Part 1) covers removing the 8 3/4 rear end out of this 1964 Dodge Polara and the disassembly and inspection of some of the components. This is a 742 carrier with 3.23 gears and a Dana Power-Lok clutch-style sure grip. Because of the tapered axles used in 1964 and earlier 8 3/4's, there is a special puller used to remove the drums. Below is a link to a very useful 8 3/4 axle guide on...
Fabricating and Installing a Floor Pan Patch on a 1964 Dodge Polara
zhlédnutí 15KPřed rokem
From paper template to welding it in, I use a bead roller, hammer/dollies, and some hammer forming to fabricate a patch for the floor pan on this 1964 Dodge Polara out of 18 gauge cold rolled steel. Seam sealer and paint are going to have to wait, though, because there's lots more metal work to be done on this thing!
Tuning Tips for Mopar 440 Six Pack, Six Barrel with Air Fuel Gauge

This video is a little bit of a repeat so I thought I'd drop it on the back of my new video on exhaust cutouts. I had taken down the first rendition of this video to add more basic setup information which I had already filmed. The beginning is just orientation and setup recommendations for the six pack. Then I film some air fuel gauge readings before and after making some changes. The biggest l...

Basic Cylinder Head Porting on 440 Source Stealth Heads
zhlédnutí 10KPřed rokem
It’s easy to ruin cylinder heads by going too far with porting. But in this video, I keep it simple and low-risk by reducing the pushrod pinch and contouring the valve guide bosses on a set of 440 Source Stealth cylinder heads. I also make a few comparisons between the Stealth heads and a factory 902 casting I had laying around. While your die grinder is out, below is a link to a video I did on...

How much will Dynamat quiet down my electric fuel pump?

The rotor vane fuel pump in this 1970 Challenger is LOUD! But don't blame the pump! Location makes a big difference. I install some Dynamat Xtreme to quiet it down and take before and after measurements with a decibel meter downloaded on my phone.
How to Deep Port Match an Intake Manifold (440 six pack)

This video demonstrates deep port matching an intake manifold, and some basic porting/polishing tips. The intake I am working on is for a Mopar 440 six pack. It has since found its home in a 1970 Dodge Challenger.

I have a 57 Belvedere. Do these have any gaskets between the backing plate and axle flange? I can't find any gaskets for these 57 8 3/4 differential. I'm in Australia but my 57 is from Georgia, I imported it.
Seems to me that a person better know what they are doing 😢😢😢😢
You know how to make them 6 packs run well done I watch a lot of your vids
So just some clarification on the 500 end carbs ... I also have a 340 Six-Pack set up .. looking for some spare ends 500 carbs original parts numbers are 0-4790 rear and 0-4789 front .. i found both but between the price to buy and restore is crazy.. so I purchased a new center from Holley 0-4792 350 CFM .. I see they no longer remanufacture the end 500 carbs for the 340.. so I have been looking at the 500 CFM carbs for the 440 engine 69/70 Holley 0-4365 and the 1971 440 engine 0-4672 .. I've been told the 69/70 has a different style metering plate and the 71 has the same style metering plate that my 340 end carbs have in them, just a different jet size. Question: will either of the 440 end carbs work on my modified 340 ? and if so should I go with the 69/70 or the 71 carbs? Any help would be greatly appreciated from anyone who has dealt with this scenario. Thanks
that's the way to go I'm a big fan of David too, I run the truck flow 270's so I'll be with you, my only complaint is you saying tenth a tenth is nothing use thousands like 1.05 is one inch 50 thousands I'm impressed where your going

I need to know what the bearings number is
Sorry, but I don't have that information. Dr. Diff's website has the part numbers for the carrier bearings he sells. www.doctordiff.com/8-3-4-carrier-bearings-and-races-pair.html
why bother buying special 5/32 tool when you can grab any piece of steel, angle grinder and make yourself a tool. Be creative
Point taken, but carb fasteners are sensitive to over/under torqueing. I probably could have made a slot screwdriver work, or made something, but the tool was cheaper than the fuel (and time) it would have cost me to go buy some steel round and I'm not running any risk of stripping the fastener head due to an imprecise fit.
Are you upgrading to non-taper axles?
No, i stayed with the factory setup. Below is a link to the 3rd video of this rebuild where I set the endplay with the tapered axles in case you’re interested… m.czcams.com/video/fnwkHGfKOCM/video.html
Good job. Nice car and engine. Have a great day. 👍
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Great video and very informative. I've watched several other rebuild videos and you're the only one who set backlash correctly per the manual! Preloading the carrier bearings is just as important as preloading the pinion bearings which many don't realize. Setting the backlash by simply moving the carrier side to side does not preload the bearings. Great job and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Did you have to tear down the sure grip? I’m at that stage now.
Yep. Here is the video that includes the tear down (about 4 minute mark) m.czcams.com/video/1jHKpnZm-sA/video.html
Can you share with me where you purchased your air fuel gauge and what brand? can you also share with me your engine idle vacuum number as well as your power valve size? Thanks for the video. It’s informative and helpful for those of us trying to tune, six barrels and six packs.
Sorry for the late reply! I haven't been on here very much lately... My engine idles at 11 in. Hg. I am happy with this number considering the size of the cam. My power valve is the factory 6.5 size. My Air Fuel gauge is an Autometer Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite wideband. The Autometer part number is 4378 and I got it from Summit Racing. They aren't cheap (currently about $370), but IMO they are pretty much a must to get a good tune on these things.

Burrs... Aluminum clogging can be too much surface speed. I use [1/4" collet] double cut nearly always, and as long as speeds stay controlled [plus I put a litttle Break Free on them], I have few poblems. But... I use a dc drive motor with flex shaft, not an air tool - I get speed control over a much wider range. Bonus? I avoid cartridge rolls half the time, as I do not suffer the "chop" that single burrs can leave. Singles have their place when massive amounts of material must be removed.... there's just a need for refinement of surface afterwards.
Thanks for the suggestion!
😅
A Nozzle for spot weld on mig is very useful for that purpose, because you push and spot.
For a Car Like that, Next Time try ESAB, 0.23 Easy Grind, loose the Maximum you can The rollers at the welder. Then take a Piece of scrap metal the same gauge , begin with the lower, power setting , place the gun touching the nozzle to the scrap metal pull the trigger, and tune the speed by the sound. You will see total penetration without blowing a hole. The gas could be to 15 . Because welding closer it's enough. I learn that from a representative of HTP in my birthland on 1984. An works on every brand perfectly. Because is the basic. Is Like if you weld sheetmetal with Oxy-Acetylene, you can weld with tig. Because is the base. Nice video Thanks.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a try.
Great work dude!!🏁
Thanks!
Looks good. I have used coat hanger before on thicker gas welding. Looking forward to more.
Very nice job. I can only imagine how much time this took. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks! Yeah, I try not to think about it 🤣
what kind of filler rod is that? on the torch welding
It’s two .035 mig wires. I held the two together with pliers on one end, and chucked the other end into a drill to wind them together. I’d recommend safety glasses when doing this... ask me how I know 😆
I’m doing the same thing on my 1964 440 and both the wheel bearings are bad and I’m hoping my gear set is ok.
Best of luck!
Interesting, I bought a new set of repop MP carbs back In the early 1990s when I worked for a dealer...I lived in Salt Lake City at the time, the elevation was just over 4000 feet...I had a hot 440 with a .509 cam...and I never needed to mess with the outboard carbs..they were cool for a minute, but I'd never run one again. Awesome tech for the layman.
Thanks for the feedback!
Exellent informative vid!! however, you failed to mention that you're using a crush sleeve eliminator which is usually for racing app. and therefore a different preload setup procedure, assuming most people will use the crush sleeve method, getting ready to do this myself, thank you for the tips!
Thanks for the feedback! Good luck with the rebuild. As far as I know, the 489 case 8 3/4's are the ones that use a crush sleeve, or would need a crush sleeve eliminator kit if you chose to use shims instead. The 741 and 742 cases use shims for the pinion preload from factory.
We've Ported and taken the STEALTH Heads right up to 545 HP/562 Ft/Lbs on on the Dyno using a .030 over 440 with a CompCams XE284H Flat Tappet Cam, Performer RPM Dual Plane and 850 cfm Holley. These days ???????????????????? I wouldn't touch a Flat Tappet CompCam with a frozen stick as extremely poor quality ripe for Lifter failures.... nor would I use the Eddy Intake as we've found the Holley Street Dominator 300-14 Intake superior at all levels of development. Back to the STEALTH: MUST have a thorough gone through, re-do of Valve Seats/Valve contacts highly Rec'd ~82 CC's OOTB is common STEALTH's are 265-270ish @ .600" OOTB on our SF750 Bench.... as are the Eddy E-Streets/Performer rpm Heads only marginally 5-10 cfm better.... the Redo on the Stealth Seats/Valves quickly levels the field to the Eddy's which the Eddy's Flow is embellished on their website. We like the STEALTH Heads.... excellent value for money.
Nothing wrong with Comp Cams.....i have never had a failure.
Great video. I'm going to apply the techniques you described to my 340 six pack set up. The QFT meeting plates are a great idea, also I had no idea what those screws were called. I was very fortunate to find and purchase brand new Holley carbs for my set up. P.S I gave you a subscription:)
Thanks! Best of luck with the 340. In my opinion, even though these six packs aren't cheap and a little more work to tune, just popping off the air cleaner and looking into the engine bay makes it all worth while 😁
Thanks for the very informational video! I'm new to the six barrel, so this documentation of your step-by-step/trial and error tuning will be very useful to me and many others.
I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment.
Excellent video are you going to do the install as well? Cause I will definitely be watching for that always fun doing gasket type glass work seems very few people want to do it any more except for the shops that deal with aviation and big trucks.
Thanks! Yeah, that's the plan after paint and bodywork... Not looking forward to installing the rear glass! Without the locking weatherstrip, I think it will be a nightmare.
Watching this made me check some settings and found a crack in the plastic vacuum T for the outer carbs
I'm glad it was helpful!
Got give it too you for sticking with the old tapered axles!!. Yeah man I got a lot of homemade fixtures for my press don't overlook bmx bikes scrap the axle end pegs are a good source for making fixtures 😂
Haha thanks brother!
You bet show the rest of the assembly . Your doing great teaching with your video !
Okay, will do. Thanks!
Good morning, in my experience with my bead roller, I do the same as you, multiple passes, take a look at Karl Fisher's videos on bead rolling, japhand kustom's.
Hey Michael, yeah I am a subscriber to Make it Kustom. I actually made my tucking fork based on one of his videos 👍I wish I had seen his video on pre-stretching metal before bead rolling prior to making the Polara's trunk patch! It came out pretty rough.
I am working on a 64 330. This build will be interesting.
Welcome to the channel! Full disclosure: my brother doesn't want a show car with this project. Corners are going to get cut in the name of saving time and money. This is going to be a home garage resto all the way. I did a rotisserie restoration on one of my cars and now its a little bit too nice to use! He wants to avoid this.
Just found your channel. Great job ! Subscribed,liked and shared.
Thank you very much!
Vintage: you should watch Paulo Funliero in Brazil. His fabrication skills are off the wall. Both he and his wife speak-write English in addition to Portuguese,his stepson and helper also are learning the Trade by his example.
Thanks for the recommendation, but I couldn't find it...
I miss-spelled his name, it's Paulao Funliero. You should be able to find him now. He started from nothing a few years back working at auto body shops in the outer reaches of Sao Paulo,through determination of himself,his wife and stepson,anybody in the restoration business knows who he was is now. He's now moved into his fourth shop because his skills are never to be questioned . His stepson Ze's skills noare quite remarkable for 19 year old. Ze's mom does most of the filming,etc.

Awesome 👍 job guys I appreciate all your Tips and video's
Thanks, I appreciate it!
dynamat doesn't do much blocking sound. You need MLV in the car floor and whereever you can put it like door panels ect
Yeah, I hear you (no pun intended). I think its a little bit of a balancing act in terms of how much weight you want to add to your car vs reduced noise/comfort.
Great info the beads and bends look awesome
Wow, you made some nice beads even with all the flex in your roller.
Thanks! That was 18 gauge which is the max thickness for that roller.
Good tips and tricks! Subscribed👍
My buddy had a 64 Polara with the push button automatic and 318 Y block while l had a 65 Coronet 500 drop top in the early 80s. l miss that drop top.
Nice!
Nice job!
Thanks!
great work dude! also love that it's for a 64 polara
Thanks!
I had a 63 Polara I raced throughout the 80's, winningest car I ever owned.
Awesome! I love the early B’s. Thanks for the comment, Gary.
Always enjoy your videos. I’m in a similar scenario with my rpm intake on the e street heads. I want the rpm ported enough to compete with the street dominator that I have, that has many old school tricks done to it.
Thanks JustMoparJoe! I just checked in on your 400 build and saw your intake comparison. If you have Motortrend On Demand, there’s a Roadkill Extra where Steve Dulcich talks about intake porting and compares various manifolds. It’s a good watch if you can find it. Unfortunately I can’t post a link since it isn’t on CZcams.
@@vintagevalhalla7523 I’ve got it and will Check it out. Did you see the 383 Chevy vs. Mopar comparison?That engine has a slightly smaller cam than this one, 906 heads. They made 439 hp with the rpm. I should be able to beat that.
I did! Yeah, looking forward to your dyno numbers. It will help me figure out how I want to build my 383 👍
Good video. Great explanation. Thanks for sharing Take care, Ed.
