My machine shop said the same thing. I used a standard replacement pump in my rebuild.

I thought that the most important aspect for my rebuild was the machining and dimensions. These blocks could be really rough - even from the factory. So, truing everything up (the line bore, cylinder bore with torque plate, decked block, etc) was important for me. Also, the factory compression...

I think any decision should partly be made on the condition of the engine. If the "goal is to have get up and go", a stroker, cam, gear change, or even a centrifugal super charger could possibly meet that goal. But if the engine needs a to be bored, new pistons, and crank turned, these (china)...

I had a similar problem with my build. I did not chase the threads in my Stealth Heads, just threw them on when I was ready. My block was decked for zero piston clearance and that changed how the aftermarket intake aluminum manifold would fit. I ordered the correct thickness intake gaskets to...

I would call Total Seal

My file to fit rings came with instructions for bottom and top. I used my table saw to file them - not what you think. I had some adhesive backed disk sandpaper and I adhered that sandpaper to the face of my saw blade. With the power disconnected, I grabbed the belt that goes from the blade...

If you find someone to help, maybe first step is to take it apart. Then take it to a machine shop to be hot tanked and measured up. That will determine the budget. I did a lower mileage Ford 302 a few years ago and it measured up fine - no machining on the block. I ordered a rebuild kit, honed...

For the knowledge base: As Ross said - new bolt made. Still not sure why the strange design, but the whole set up is strange anyway.

I watched that video before. Very informative. Not much info on the bolt. I will prob take Ross’s advice and modify a bolt.

My bracket holes seem fine. I think the bolt took all the wear. The bolt looks special though and I have not found a source for the rubber snubber. If I can I will keep the orginal brakets.

I am almost done with this, but I have a question on the TRW Pump pivot bolt. This in the one that holds the pump to the bracket, not the one that holds the bracket to the block. From what I have read on the forum this bolt does not tighten and lets the pump self tension with load. It may even...

The main point on the dims was that they are the same as an other motor, so nothing obvious is wrong (no offense, as I know you know your stuff). Anyway, I ordered an ATI damper and it went on and the pulleys match now. The ATI is a little bit narrower and USA made so, I have more confidence in...

It all checks out. This is crazy. My machinist had a 440 in the shop. His dimension from the spalsher out to the end of the crank snout was something like 1 /18", so was mine. Same Same. My original balancer went right on like it was supposed to - right to 1/8" from the end of balancer. You...

So, I needed a new water pump anyway and ordered Milodon. Hoping that maybe something might change my alignment. It is the same. Actually worse, because there is not as much shaft protruding so shims won't work (probably shouldn't shim this much anyway). At a loss. 440 Source says all my...

I just getting mine all back together (440).

Old Water pump, rebuilt alternator. Those two pulleys line up. The crank pulley does not. That is why this has been so odd. I am going to have to shim everything to match the new crank pulley position.

Almost all the accessories are stock, just as I pulled them off. I talked to 440 Source last week and no new info from them. They say it should work. I went down to my machinist and he had another 440 come in that was still put together. I measured the distance from the timing gear to the end of...

Did all that. Everything checks out. The 440 Source one does put the pulley out a bit farther, but that's not the main problem. I think that you are right, the crank has to be the source.

I know a few members here have used 440 Source cranks. Maybe this is something that is normal and has to be shimmed.
