Anyone looking for a 400 engine ?

[ACUDANUT]

I don't know if I should post it for sale yet.  looking for advice. Does anyone even desire them. ?
I know I prefer the 383's, with it's forged crank and the beatings they can take. 

[JB400]

They make a good start to a stroker.

yes  440 crank it and stroke it  , great motors 

[Nacho-RT74]

440 crank
KB215 or 251 pistons if using 400 rods
KB280 if using 440 rods

aaand... done... you get a 440 into a 400 low deck with a bigger bore posibilities.

you decide the cam.

[XH29N0G]

If I were looking for a low deck, it would be a 400, and I would want to use it for a stroker.

Sort of what I was planning.  I didn't worry about the crank because it would get a new one with the stroker build.  Just look at a block though as it would get new parts for everything else.

What year??

[71charger_fan]

Where is this 400 located?

[ACUDANUT]

PM sent

[aerolith]

Great motor indeed the lowly 400's.
The first castings in 1970 and 1971 were the strongest ever made!
1972 and 1973 are pretty dam good too.
We had 547ci stroked one in the UK that was 850hp on the motor and over a thousand horses with nitrous (on pump gas)
Was so quick it even beat the hemi Superstock cars in the 90's...

8.2 @ 182 mph 440yards on street DOT tyres

Is the OP trying to sell off all his non 440 engines ??

[ACUDANUT]

No Horn Dog. I just have these 2 engines laying around collecting dust.  If I had a 440 laying around, I would sell it too. I won't sell my (6) 426 Hemi's.  I am done with any future projects.

Wow..you turned into an asshole. I just noticed that you posted about 2 different engines and politely asked about it. If you want to start some shit, I'll go back to picking apart everything you write including spelling mistakes, grammar errors and incorrect references. I have a full time job already but maybe I can knock off work a few hours each day to get this done.
You and I have PM'd several times and you have always been reasonable....but now you decide to be a dickhole?

ACUDANUT's misdirected ire makes for strange bedfellows...

[ACUDANUT]

 Porn Dog, you insulted me first. I was just firing back. Why do you have to use such profanity ?.
Spell check away.

No need for anyone to curse, be insulting or call names here. 

[Lennard]

ACUDANUTZ is full of shit. A couple of weeks ago in another topic he called me a dick amongst other things. It was so bad that one of the mods deleted it. And now he's acting like he's offended by someone else's profanity.  

[Alaskan_TA]

Profanity begets more profanity.


Maybe the forum administrator can block swearing & name calling in addition to political topics? 

[Alaskan_TA]

I tried to 'report' my last post so the idea could be considered.

but........

[Lennard]

I personally have no problem with profanity... but ACUDANUTZ is acting all butt hurt when it's being used towards him, while he's using it himself at his own leisure towards others.
That's called being a hypocrit... or two faced... or...

[Kern Dog]

Great idea. The Chinese do the same thing.....Blocking unrestricted internet access and censoring their citizens.
Instead of censorship, maybe skip past what you don't like.
Me? I don't like wimps, prudes or people that get easily offended but they exist among us.

This website is not run by the US government. Its run by private citizens who can decide what they want or dont want said here. Just like you have every right at your house to tell someone not to say "happy holidays" or get out.

Well....THIS might explain how you can take such an innocuous statement and get all wigged out about it. MAYBE you should have remembered that we have had no bad history, also recall how many times you have PM'd me about other members that have annoyed you.
I'm willing to be civil as I was prior. I didn't infer anything other that that you seemed to be asking about 383 and 400 values while not mentioning a 440, the engine many seem to seek out when building these cars. Nothing rude, nothing obnoxious.
Yeah, I have been both of those things before, but prior to a few days ago, not to you.

Are both rude & obnoxious - from both of you.


As far as this goes;

Nothing rude, nothing obnoxious. Yeah, I have been both of those things before, but prior to a few days ago, not to you.

Take it behind the scenes please?


Some sites have rules against swearing & name calling others. All web forums should, no one should be subjected to opening a thread & seeing the disrespectful behavior shown above.


If this site had an 'ignore' feature like so many others, I would very gladly use it at times like this.

Not just Socialism... Franco in Spain and Pinochet in Chile were just right the opposite to Socialism, and still got Censorship . Is not about ideology, but dictatorship from any side.

But, this is just a side note.

Again..."censorship", "socialism" dont apply to non-governmental entities like dc.com.

Touchy legal area. While "dc.com" may be private, the services used to provide dc.com are not private and could be sued for allowed violations of rights on their platforms. Its happened and will be happening more and more.... anyway, the general lee is the best 69 charger paint scheme out there..... and go.

No, its not a touchy legal area at all. Its pretty well settled. Dc.com, to our knowledge, is not owned by a local, state, or federal stat agency. Therefore, the mods can ban/censor whatever they want.

No thank you regarding that 400 engine.

While i generally agree with you and i fully understand the 1st ammendment in that it shouldnt be a question, piss off the wrong person deleting their posts and kicking them out and the lawsuit will come screaming free speech impingement and the website will disapear.

On topic- i posted a reply asking about the engine and never got a reply. I like 383s and 400s.

No, not really. You cant sue a private individual or entity for free speech impingement.

[c00nhunterjoe]

 you mean i cant sue a private owned bakery for refusing to bake a cake based on freedom of religion?

[Kern Dog]

Ha ha !   BOOM.

[c00nhunterjoe]

Ha ha !   BOOM.

I mean, yes and no. I dont agree with the suits and that poor baker was sued again by another person for the same reason. The constitution is clear that it covers the government involvement, not private citizens, yet here we are.

[Ponch ®]

you can but you'd lose. And those type of cases involve other issues, such as discrimination and government regulation of commerce.

Otherwise, I could stand in Kern Dog's front yard holding a sign that says "Kern Dog loves veiny throbbing shafts" and say that I have a sincere religious belief in Kern Dog's love of veiny throbbing shafts.  He couldn't do anything about it, because freedom of speech/religion. I bet the same people who are saying "dc.com should not engage in censorship" are the same ones who want nfl teams to fire players who protest.

But from what you're saying, if anything, it would be in the best interests of the site owners/moderators to heavily regulate the content herein, so as to avoid any possible liability. Otherwise, I could sue the website for "allowing" someone for giving me bad advise on how to swap out 904 for a 727.

I'd love to give you all an extensive seminar on Constit

You seem to be misunderstanding me. I AGREE WITH YOU. I feel that the nfl should be allowed to force the players because the 1st ammendment is as you stated, freedom from GOVERNMENT intervention. The nfl is private, yet what happened? They cried free speach, lawsuits are filed, and now they dont have to stand. That baker was sued, he lost. It wasnt discrimination. He said on record that he will sell to anyone. But he refused to make specific types of cake styles based on religous freedom.  He quit baking wedding cakes. They won. The supreme court overturned the 1st case on a technicality, NOT because of his 1st ammendment rights. He was then sued again. They are running him broke. They are winning.

No one sued the NFL or teams over free speech. They came to an agreement, with most teams saying "do whatever you want". So what do you think about an employer firing an employee for wearing a red hat with white letters on it while at work?

[c00nhunterjoe]

The nfl union got involved and threatened it as free speach. No it didnt go to court.   I dont care what hat you wear at work. But in the case you are inferring into it, it depends on the state this business is in, the type of business (je government owned), and what rules are in place when the termination document says "fired for wearing a make america great again hat" its a loaded question and you know it. In some states it is legal, in others it is a felony charge. My opinion on that matter is irrelevant to the law of the state that it theoretically happened in.

you lost me at felony charge. but ok.

I'd love to give you all a nice primer on basic constitutional principles of federalism, supremacy clause, state action requirement, levels of scrutiny, protected groups, and so on...but learning all of that was not cheap to me and I sure aint gonna give it away for free.

[c00nhunterjoe]

I never asked for a lesson, nor do i need it. There are several states that have laws protecting party affiliation discrimination. New mexico i beleive is one that has it as a felony charge to fire someone for being affiliated with a particular party as does dc. There are a few others, but you can look that up yourself. Back to our site, simple machines is the host. They are based in nevada which means the laws there are what apply to its use. If nevada follows california like they usually do with their 1st ammendment cases, any censorship of anykind will be banned. They are still hashing it out in court and i think it stemmed with facebook and twitter. I dont think its law yet and I really dont care because this conversation tangent is not why i come to dodgecharger.com and im ending it here.

[alfaitalia]

Well this is all weird....must be a US thing because having read it through twice I still dont really have a clue what you are taking about!

......however I'd like a 383 or a 400...mainly because I've never seen a Charger without either 440 or Hemi in the UK so I could put either of them in the very rough 68 with a seized 440 in I'm thinking of buying and put it on the road until my car is (eventually) finished!...

...anyway...carry on!

[Kern Dog]

I could stand in Kern Dog's front yard holding a sign that says "Kern Dog loves veiny throbbing shafts"

I have no experience with anyone else's throbbing shaft, just my own. Maybe you have some experiences you feel guilty about? Repressed memories of leather and ball gags?

[Kern Dog]

I bet the same people who are saying "dc.com should not engage in censorship" are the same ones who want nfl teams to fire players who protest.
