Chrysler 400 Final Tear Down | Future Stroker?

I need to finish tearing down the Coronet's 400 so that I can get the block to the machinist. There were no real surprises except for a mud dobber nest where it shouldn't have been.

Good video chuck, can't wait to see you get her back together.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

You and me both!

The 451 stroker 400 , is one of the best bb mopar combos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

It seems to be a good combo, I'll have to see what ends up happening.

Another great video, Chuck, very informative. I will be referring back to this when I do my disassembly on my 451.

Thanks Max

Hello, New subscriber here to your channel.
I'm Ed from Ed's Machine.
I like all Mopars.
The 400's are great platforms.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Happy Father's day.

Thanks Ed, glad to have you onboard. I'm planning a 470, Happy Father's Day

Cold weather block? The 400 blocks are the best blocks mopar made, period... Get the CR up to 10.8 to 1 minimum and as high as 11.2 to 1 forr 93 octane pump gas from Shell. Tune baby tune.... Will follow to see where this project goes. - Enjoy

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Thanks, we'll see how this one turns out.

*Chuck!*
Yes, of course - the 451 combo is well known (and therefore, hopefully well debugged) at this point.
While the 400 was probably the best of the low-blocks, I disagree with it being better than a 440 though.
They are simply serving different masters is all - a forged crank 440 has so many advantages inherently.
Either way, you're going to have a lot of fun with a higher-rev BB - but if you're going to use a purple shaft,
seek out and find one that was made a couple decades ago. Trust me on this, lifters too.

I'll expand more when I put the motor together. The 400 has far more meat around the crank journals than the 440 is what I'm referring to. I don't plan on using that purple cam, but this motor was together for over 20 years. Who knows how old the cam is.

Nice. I'm building a 400, 512 stroker for my sport fury vert.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Awesome, you'll be able to roast the tires at will.

[@Roosters_Restos]

Chuck I would not listen to uncle Tony on much. If you want a guy to talk strokers with that knows his shit. Talk to moparjoe. My buddy moparjeff in Minneapolis runs strokers too and knows how to build them. I do know Tony pretty good so not bad mouthing him but he is far from a expert on stroked motors. The 451 is a very nice street motor. The 65 will scoot pretty good.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Thanks Rooster, just using the internet to gather some knowledge.

[@Roosters_Restos]

@Chuck_House_of_Mopar chuck look up @justmoparjoe. Or @moparjeff604 Jeff has built more strokers than anyone I know. There the only 2 guys I trust on the net. I am a engine builder myself with 48yrs under my belt but strokers are not something I do.

[@sparksfireandbalingwire8467]

Nice progress! Have you been able to figure out duration and LSA on that cam?

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

It seems to be a .484 cam based on what I did.

[@claytonbartony2948]

Hey man I’m Clayton one of the kids Mr kurth told you about that liked mopar I couldn’t come out Saturday because I was busy but if your doing any projects that you let me and the other person Kurth mentioned help you with then just let me know and we can try to set something up.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

Sure thing Clayton, I'll be sure to get a hold of Mr. Kurth to let you know.

[@claytonbartony2948]
