I just paid 450 bucks for a complete LA 360 engine and 727 trans. I am planning to tear down and rebuild using your vids as a resource. They are going into a 77 tradesman van. Thanx for the videos.
@@JustMoparJoe I know where Cabot is. Been there. Done that. The 10 mile radius? Yeah. Not so much. I was actually looking to move to Cabot in '99, but i wanted a flush turlet, being a Big Cittee Slicker and all. 😆
Tampa Bay area here. I see MH 440's here all the time for too much money. I think the best ad I have seen was: $1200 if I pull it. $500 if you pull it.. Quite often these are old rotted and moldy motorhomes people were living in till they got so bad, no one could live in it anymore and the property owners just want to get rid of them. Call the junk man and the junk man is usually the guy with the crazy ads.... You can also find deals if you look hard and get lucky. I purchased a 440 from a guy a few hours South of me for $14.00.. He had it on EBAG with the words: MUST PICK UP. NO SHIPPING. Yup, I had the high bid of $14.00 and the block is great!
The trans at 100 is ok but I'm to use to getting them for $25.....and degrease the valve body and put it in evapo rust liquid and it'll be saved. That 440 is a motor home engine I've seen them as high as $1500 I bought two 35,000 mile ones with transmission for $200 and $350. The locked up carb good at $25 put it in evapo rust it'll get free, got an AVS off a 70 charger $5 at yard sale, I'm with you I don't sell much but I do help people out when I can and if I don't have a use for a part I'll give it to someone who needs it. In NJ used car parts have gone crazy in prices they usually charger more for what they call vintage parts and junk yard have closed but still take cars in and send them to Mexico!.....ugh!..... I did get the back of a 73 charger I had to cut it from the back of front seats $250 for body panels. When you change out output shafts on 727s take note of the year of the trans your getting the output shaft from or swapping the splines changed in their angles from different years and can strip out the aluminum planetarys and then no drive if you need pictures I can send them knowledge is power!

I think the reason ‘brand new’ Mopar parts are so expensive is the companies will sell 10 Chevy parts for every 1 Mopar part, then that drives up the ‘used’ market price. Intake manifolds are a perfect example.
...I missed out on one 440/727, last month. The guy started asking $ 600! Three weeks went by, didn’t sell so he dropped the price. Asked $125 ...sold right away! Missed out, so I drove 200 miles to northeast Texas and bought a 318 with 904, for $300. Have a 72 and 74 “Duster projects!” 😀😷👍🏼👊🏼. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge on your videos, I wouldn’t have had the ‘courage’ to get started on them if it wasn’t you sharing. Thanks Mopar Joe! 😷👍🏼
Juan L B, thank you! Don’t give up on getting it done. I’ve been working on my challenger about 6 years off and on. It may never be finished, but I love tinkering with it. Let me know if I can help in any way! Justmoparjoe@gmail.com. If I don’t know an answer, I know some that do!
In Vancouver Canada there was a guy named Mopar Gary. He almost allways had what you needed but he was a Fuvking pirate! Only used him as a last resort!
Was the same for a long time here in Oklahoma. We had a Mopar parts specific junk yard called Shady Nook. It came to be known as Shady Crook due to their price gouging. The place is still there, but the pirating owner passed several years ago. Apparently, they are planning a TV show documenting the resto of many of the cars there. I counted no less than 15 1968 Chargers out front when I passed by a few weeks ago. Couple of Demons and Challengers too.
I'm a small block guy!!! Ive got two LD 340's I will never sell. I'm not using them but they are kind of like currency. I may need to swap them for that rare part I need in future!!! We have to hoard things that we know are good!!! Its funny though you hang on to stuff thats hard to find long enough and they start making reproductions. Then the rare high dollar part you paid lots for loses it's value overnight and you are stuck with it, Just find a place to display it and enjoy it's MOPAR beauty.
That’s awesome! The only one I ever had, it went away on a 100$ 318 that I traded a friend. I’ll admit, I hang on to a lot of parts, but I’m willing to work with people. Who knows what the next turn in Mopar parts will be?
Yup, got mine for a magnum build 135 shipped black friday. Think it's a smaller port version than a LD340 though. Looks almost exactly like a LD4B intake I have but air gap style.
I have a question. I have a Jeep Wrangler. I’m trying to find mopar parts. Ever since i can remember Ebay has been my go to place for mostly everything. I bought an original lower intake for my Jeep. I was thinking about replacing the fuel injectors. The ones I’m looking at say they are new mopar injectors. Show the boxes. But I’m hearing they make fake stuff blah blah blah. Is there a way to tell if a post is fake or original mopar? Thanks
I’ve never owned a 6 pack on either a big or small block. But the values seem to vary some depending on condition. I would guess you could get anywhere from 800-1,200$ depending on if the carbs need rebuilt. I will say that I’ve never shopped hard for any, so my opinion could be off.
I got a running 318 engine for free but the guy kept the fan and I feel cheated. I kid, I kid. It's good to help out people when you can, as you said. Prices vary wildly.
The Speedmaster Airgaps are brand new $226 and the KMJ Assault airgap is under $200. Have used both in the past with great luck and just picked up another for my 318 turbo build.
That's why we have a group called The Circle and that way we trade parts back and forth to once the parts are outside of our Circle we can't afford them anymore
Its crazy on the price of parts!!! Some people price stuff high that they dont want to sell them! More than likely they wont never get used and rust away!
$100 for Performer RPM is a good deal as I'm always looking for a good deal on intakes. The other intake you are talking about is a Speedmaster that they ran on Black Friday for 40% off. I got the polished one for $157 shipped. Have you seen what people try to get out of Edelbrock LD340 intakes?? It is insanity!! As far as the 440 goes, that is way overpriced for an engine of unknown condition and I'm sure one can be far cheaper elsewhere. They are still cheaper than 340's right now which people think are made of gold. 360's are dirt cheap in my area. The last few swap meets I went to did not have any deals.
Yes, 340s are crazy expensive. I managed to find a bare block and crank for$500. But, I’ve had to piece it together with spare parts for rods, bolts, oil pan etc.
DR440 every 340 around here is usually 500$ plus for a bored out, sleeved, and patched block. I just mentioned to someone that I sold a LD340 on a 68 318 and 904 for 200$ to a good buddy of mine. I still think an air gap or a torker would out perform the LD340.
@@JustMoparJoe 100% with you on that. If a person already has the Air-gap or Performer RPM, there would be no gain in switching to or paying up for a LD340. I have no experience with the Torker but know that the Weiand X-celerator is a good street machine intake for a 340/360. I see lots of 340 engines that have been sleeved and they still want the big dollars for them....
@@garryhatchett775 You done pretty well on that buy. I've seen them from $1000 to $2500 recently but not sure if people are actually paying that, which would be an extreme gamble to put that into an engine of unknown condition. Good luck on the build!!
DR440 I don’t understand it on the LD340. I ran a Torker 2 with a .480 .292 cam in my stock 360 when I was in high school. Spanked every vortec Chevy in town. Ended up running a 9.18 in the 1/8th with a 3.91 on a drag radial.
Good deal on the intake. The holy grail for intakes is the LD 340. Look on email for crappy ones with stripped carb mounting holes for $400 and up. Those manifolds are so old it’s difficult to find a good one. $100 for trans core ok. Unfortunately, the prevailing attitude is if it’s mine and you want/need it, it’s value is priceless. If it’s yours and I want/need it, it’s not worth anything. Some people have selective sight and memory too. I’ve been burned a couple of times on eBay purchases when the seller swore on a stack of bibles they didn’t know about the missing or damaged threads.
Thanks Garry! I actually traded a 68 318 and 904 with the LD 340 intake to a buddy of mine for 200$. We always swap stuff out, but he actually used the stuff and got his car back on the road. I’ll be his first call when he sells the car.
Great video and thank you for putting it out. Pretty much spot on with what you said. If or when I do sell parts I always try to be fair with the price and have the mind set of helping a fellow Mopar car guy. With that being said I think it’s pretty ridiculous what they ask for in my area for Mopar parts. I live in Southern California in a suburb of Los Angels, good example is that 440 and Tran would ease be going for $1100 or more. A guy that I know has a 383 on his engine stand that he won’t take less than $1000 for. I’ve offered to buy it several times. But not for $1000
The intake you want referring to from 318 will run are the Speedmaster intakes, I bought 2 of them because of the great price on cyber Monday for $135 a piece along with a A body oil pan for $35.00 and a new mini starter for $41.00 dollar, could’ve pass up those prices lol
I've not built anything in about 20 years . I just retired and now have the time to restore my 89 D150 . I've just started checking prices and liked to have past out . Prices are insane . I probably will be back to work for parts .
Ronnie, I have an 89-90 D150 as a parts truck if you need anything. It’s extended cab. Got the entire truck for 250$ and it ran and drove to where it’s parked!
I've been around Mopars all my life. I just recently bought a 1974 Duster with its original 318 and trans (727 not sure if its original). Paid $3500 for it. It has been sitiing a few years, but has only the slightest bit of rust in the rear floor pan and rear driver side quarter. Decent Dark Blue paint. Interior has been stripped but I have the seats and plastic trim. Only missing the headliner and carpet. In decent partially disassembled condition, do you guys think I got hosed? I kinda feel like it was a good deal especially compared to some of the basketcases in the same price range (although they were 71s and 72s). But I really dont know for sure.
It just depends on the area you live really. I bought my 74 dart sport with no engine or trans, and a Chevy 10 bolt rearend 😕 for 1400$ in November of 2019. I think you did fine. Especially if the drivetrain is savable 👍🏼
@@JustMoparJoe i saw a couple of Slant 6 1973 and 74 Dart Sports in Kansas for $1800. Typical quarter panel rot and non running, but good projects for the price. I decided I wanted a Duster and after a long hard search I found that 74. Honestly, I havent had a chance to thoroughly go over the car. My dad and I just picked it up Friday in Texas. He's bringing it over to my house today. Here's the reason I feel like I may have over paid - I definitely set my expectations low because you can only tell so much from pics and what the seller tells you. Seeing it in person is a whole other ball game. It was a bit more disassembled than I was led to believe. I think that's really the only thing.
My low mile RV 440 air cleaner to oil pan with all accessories was 500, about spot on with your market price. That RPM intake is a good one. If it's in good shape (no cracks, threads are good) you got a good buy
I have a couple RV 440’s with transmissions and no way they go out for less than $1000. Sorry but that’s what they seem to go for these days. Both run decent. But would be builders if it was me. Considering a turbo engine out if one of them for me.
Your right Joe about part pricing! It's really hurting the mopar hobby. Swap meets have become get as much as they can. Been to the same swap meet every year and same people same over priced parts. Had one guy at the the auto wrecker plead with me for parts that I had removed. Said he and his daughter where doing a project together. Next weekend he was selling the parts at a swap meet. Brand new chevy parts are less than used mopar parts. Just saying. How do you keep young people interested in mopar.?
Thanks Daniel. I think the younger generations he hooked earlier on by family members or pop culture. My dad showed us vanishing point when we were 10 and 8. We always watched the Dukes and Bullet. Younger ones like the fast franchise more. I’ve heard those stories about the swindlers who beg for parts and then sell them. Usually I don’t like giving anything away unless I can trust the person. Glad I could start a discussion about it.
@@JustMoparJoe You seem like a real decent level headed guy. My grandfather and my dad who is 93 and his 6 brothers where all diehard mopar guys. I've been mopar all my life as well. Got it from my dad and uncles I guess. I run small blocks in my cars dont seem to get much respect from the big block guys. Anyways love your channel.
Daniel Lachance thanks brother. If you pass a big block car on the drag strip, they’d have to respect you! For us it’s usually hp per square dollar. The big block will definitely win that battle, but I’m usually more impressed when a small block runs faster than most big blocks.
Thank you! I was wanting to put the info out so people could make some better purchases. I feel like people new to the hobby will pay twice as much and not bat an eye.
@@JustMoparJoe absolutely... For every guy like us that tries to be fair, theres two that are overpricing everything and hurting everyone... Even decent ppl often look online to get an idea of what they should price their items at, and end up artificially high because of the overpricers....
Solid content as always always look forward to your videos.couldnt agree with you more on the FB pricing as I am always trying to spread the solid deals and hope to find some in return.I have a 440 and 727 trans and it is out of a 73 motorhome that has 60 th org miles and started weekly 500 is exzactly what I am asking,on the dog dish hub caps i have 4 original plymouth in excellent shape for 75 .Again cant thank you enough for the awesome videos!!
Nothing! Unless they have the giant heads and water pump on the front. Then you’ve only got a low compression short block. I buy everyone that’s a fair deal. They just don’t have the value of a traditional 440 with usable valvetrain and heads.
@@frankparks4900 Saw the video mentioned above and got your phone number. I WILL call and see if we can make a deal on a 440. I also will be needing a 70 Roadrunner driveshaft for manual and Dana 60, maybe both front bucket seats, again for a 70 Roadrunner
The all steel rust parts ( the parts that are not part of a rebuild kit ) you put them in white vinegar for 2-3 days and shake the gallon of white vinegar with the parts in it, and all the rust comes off. Just remember to coat them with WD-40 wen you remove them from the vinegar. It cleans them like brand new.
That’s excellent! I would have done the same. Even if I didn’t know what I’d do with it yet. If you needed to sell it for 6-700 later, you’d still be helping someone 👍🏼
Hey Joe my name is Shane we live a long ways apart it sounds like you live in Arkansas and I live in northern Michigan I have a ton of mopar parts that I'm going to do nothing with if you would like me to send some pictures or anything send me a link or give me an email address or something
Your pretty spot on with those prices. I've paid more for a RV 440 mainly because I wanted it and in my area they tend to run 500-1000 depending on condition. What we really need to to discuss in the MOPAR community are these dang 89-93 Dodge Cummins prices!! Everyone with their $1500-$3000 truck wants $8500-$12,500! Heck the average price for a truck that needs everything and beat to heck is $5500-$7500, Ridiculous ! I need to find a donor for my Crew cab .... That's why I'm complaining HAHA
To each his own Duddie! They are you diesel guys coming 🤣🤣🤣. But seriously, the RV 440 is good, but they usually have junk compression and I’ve seen many with the jumbo trash heads and water pump assembly. I’d pay 700$ for a known runner, not one locked up lol
Mopar parts are all over the place in pricing. Between mopar guys lets keep it so that we can all get our cars on the road. Trying to find a 8 3/4 sure grip in my budget is like finding a needle in a hay stack and when you do, just for the third member that requires a full rebuild they are asking $900 up here in BC, Canada.
I just paid 450 bucks for a complete LA 360 engine and 727 trans. I am planning to tear down and rebuild using your vids as a resource. They are going into a 77 tradesman van. Thanx for the videos.
Glad to help! My biggest things for engines is keep it all clean and don’t let anything distract you.

The Speedmaster Airgaps are brand new $226 and the KMJ Assault airgap is under $200. Have used both in the past with great luck and just picked up another for my 318 turbo build.
Thanks Aaron! With prices like that, people should slow their role on the 250$ used intakes lol
That's why we have a group called The Circle and that way we trade parts back and forth to once the parts are outside of our Circle we can't afford them anymore
It’s funny, the guy selling the parts wants to come watch me drag race next year. Seemed to be a cool guy
Its crazy on the price of parts!!! Some people price stuff high that they dont want to sell them! More than likely they wont never get used and rust away!
I’ve seen more parts sold after folks die! Collections bought for pennies on the dollar, then folks selling those for tip top dollar. 🤷🏻♂️
$100 for Performer RPM is a good deal as I'm always looking for a good deal on intakes. The other intake you are talking about is a Speedmaster that they ran on Black Friday for 40% off. I got the polished one for $157 shipped. Have you seen what people try to get out of Edelbrock LD340 intakes?? It is insanity!!
As far as the 440 goes, that is way overpriced for an engine of unknown condition and I'm sure one can be far cheaper elsewhere. They are still cheaper than 340's right now which people think are made of gold. 360's are dirt cheap in my area. The last few swap meets I went to did not have any deals.
Yes, 340s are crazy expensive. I managed to find a bare block and crank for$500. But, I’ve had to piece it together with spare parts for rods, bolts, oil pan etc.
DR440 every 340 around here is usually 500$ plus for a bored out, sleeved, and patched block. I just mentioned to someone that I sold a LD340 on a 68 318 and 904 for 200$ to a good buddy of mine. I still think an air gap or a torker would out perform the LD340.
@@JustMoparJoe 100% with you on that. If a person already has the Air-gap or Performer RPM, there would be no gain in switching to or paying up for a LD340. I have no experience with the Torker but know that the Weiand X-celerator is a good street machine intake for a 340/360. I see lots of 340 engines that have been sleeved and they still want the big dollars for them....
@@garryhatchett775 You done pretty well on that buy. I've seen them from $1000 to $2500 recently but not sure if people are actually paying that, which would be an extreme gamble to put that into an engine of unknown condition. Good luck on the build!!
DR440 I don’t understand it on the LD340. I ran a Torker 2 with a .480 .292 cam in my stock 360 when I was in high school. Spanked every vortec Chevy in town. Ended up running a 9.18 in the 1/8th with a 3.91 on a drag radial.
Excellent video!
Thanks Brother! I know the Santa hat can be obnoxious 😂, but it always feels like Christmas when I buy parts lol
Good deal on the intake. The holy grail for intakes is the LD 340. Look on email for crappy ones with stripped carb mounting holes for $400 and up. Those manifolds are so old it’s difficult to find a good one. $100 for trans core ok. Unfortunately, the prevailing attitude is if it’s mine and you want/need it, it’s value is priceless. If it’s yours and I want/need it, it’s not worth anything. Some people have selective sight and memory too. I’ve been burned a couple of times on eBay purchases when the seller swore on a stack of bibles they didn’t know about the missing or damaged threads.
Thanks Garry! I actually traded a 68 318 and 904 with the LD 340 intake to a buddy of mine for 200$. We always swap stuff out, but he actually used the stuff and got his car back on the road. I’ll be his first call when he sells the car.
You're absolutely right 👍🏻
Thanks brother! I know every scenario is different, but I see lots of stuff listed for gold prices 😩
Great video and thank you for putting it out. Pretty much spot on with what you said. If or when I do sell parts I always try to be fair with the price and have the mind set of helping a fellow Mopar car guy. With that being said I think it’s pretty ridiculous what they ask for in my area for Mopar parts. I live in Southern California in a suburb of Los Angels, good example is that 440 and Tran would ease be going for $1100 or more. A guy that I know has a 383 on his engine stand that he won’t take less than $1000 for. I’ve offered to buy it several times. But not for $1000
The intake you want referring to from 318 will run are the Speedmaster intakes, I bought 2 of them because of the great price on cyber Monday for $135 a piece along with a A body oil pan for $35.00 and a new mini starter for $41.00 dollar, could’ve pass up those prices lol
That’s awesome! I am bad about bringing starters back to Oreilys when they crap out 😂
Well I need a 1973 plymouth valiant rear bumper that is not rusted!!!
They’re out there. Check with Frank Parks!
Looks like a truck or RV trans and parts at the beginning.
Yes sir
I've not built anything in about 20 years . I just retired and now have the time to restore my 89 D150 . I've just started checking prices and liked to have past out . Prices are insane . I probably will be back to work for parts .
Ronnie, I have an 89-90 D150 as a parts truck if you need anything. It’s extended cab. Got the entire truck for 250$ and it ran and drove to where it’s parked!
I've been around Mopars all my life. I just recently bought a 1974 Duster with its original 318 and trans (727 not sure if its original). Paid $3500 for it. It has been sitiing a few years, but has only the slightest bit of rust in the rear floor pan and rear driver side quarter. Decent Dark Blue paint. Interior has been stripped but I have the seats and plastic trim. Only missing the headliner and carpet. In decent partially disassembled condition, do you guys think I got hosed? I kinda feel like it was a good deal especially compared to some of the basketcases in the same price range (although they were 71s and 72s). But I really dont know for sure.
It just depends on the area you live really. I bought my 74 dart sport with no engine or trans, and a Chevy 10 bolt rearend 😕 for 1400$ in November of 2019. I think you did fine. Especially if the drivetrain is savable 👍🏼
@@JustMoparJoe i saw a couple of Slant 6 1973 and 74 Dart Sports in Kansas for $1800. Typical quarter panel rot and non running, but good projects for the price. I decided I wanted a Duster and after a long hard search I found that 74. Honestly, I havent had a chance to thoroughly go over the car. My dad and I just picked it up Friday in Texas. He's bringing it over to my house today. Here's the reason I feel like I may have over paid - I definitely set my expectations low because you can only tell so much from pics and what the seller tells you. Seeing it in person is a whole other ball game. It was a bit more disassembled than I was led to believe. I think that's really the only thing.
My low mile RV 440 air cleaner to oil pan with all accessories was 500, about spot on with your market price. That RPM intake is a good one. If it's in good shape (no cracks, threads are good) you got a good buy
I second that.
Yeah $500 is a fair price some people are just to greedy from watching the TV shows.
318 thank you! I meant to put in a card with the video where you mentioned engine builds. It’s been a hectic day!
@@JustMoparJoe 318 great channel. Great stuff like your channel. For the budget oriented guys.
I have a couple RV 440’s with transmissions and no way they go out for less than $1000. Sorry but that’s what they seem to go for these days. Both run decent. But would be builders if it was me. Considering a turbo engine out if one of them for me.
If they have value to you, definitely don’t give them away.
Glad you helped me out with the parts I bought off you. Those wheels are gonna look super slick once I actually get tires for them lol
Merry Mopar Christmas Randall!
Your right Joe about part pricing! It's really hurting the mopar hobby. Swap meets have become get as much as they can. Been to the same swap meet every year and same people same over priced parts. Had one guy at the the auto wrecker plead with me for parts that I had removed. Said he and his daughter where doing a project together. Next weekend he was selling the parts at a swap meet. Brand new chevy parts are less than used mopar parts. Just saying. How do you keep young people interested in mopar.?
Thanks Daniel. I think the younger generations he hooked earlier on by family members or pop culture. My dad showed us vanishing point when we were 10 and 8. We always watched the Dukes and Bullet. Younger ones like the fast franchise more. I’ve heard those stories about the swindlers who beg for parts and then sell them. Usually I don’t like giving anything away unless I can trust the person. Glad I could start a discussion about it.
@@JustMoparJoe You seem like a real decent level headed guy. My grandfather and my dad who is 93 and his 6 brothers where all diehard mopar guys. I've been mopar all my life as well. Got it from my dad and uncles I guess. I run small blocks in my cars dont seem to get much respect from the big block guys. Anyways love your channel.
Daniel Lachance thanks brother. If you pass a big block car on the drag strip, they’d have to respect you! For us it’s usually hp per square dollar. The big block will definitely win that battle, but I’m usually more impressed when a small block runs faster than most big blocks.
1407 Edelbrock=750cfm 1405 Edelbrock=600cfm
I think your numbers are just about right!! 👍👍
Thank you! I was wanting to put the info out so people could make some better purchases. I feel like people new to the hobby will pay twice as much and not bat an eye.
@@JustMoparJoe absolutely... For every guy like us that tries to be fair, theres two that are overpricing everything and hurting everyone... Even decent ppl often look online to get an idea of what they should price their items at, and end up artificially high because of the overpricers....
Wheels-n-Tires I wish I could have shared that exact statement in the video! Good stuff 👍🏼
@@JustMoparJoe theres always part 2!!😂
Im starting a channel in the next few weeks... Ill hit the subject im sure, sooner or later!!👍👍
I just subbed! Good luck!
Solid content as always always look forward to your videos.couldnt agree with you more on the FB pricing as I am always trying to spread the solid deals and hope to find some in return.I have a 440 and 727 trans and it is out of a 73 motorhome that has 60 th org miles and started weekly 500 is exzactly what I am asking,on the dog dish hub caps i have 4 original plymouth in excellent shape for 75 .Again cant thank you enough for the awesome videos!!
NE FPV Holmes thanks brother! If you were close I’d buy that 440 combo. Lol
What's wrong with RV motors?
Nothing! Unless they have the giant heads and water pump on the front. Then you’ve only got a low compression short block. I buy everyone that’s a fair deal. They just don’t have the value of a traditional 440 with usable valvetrain and heads.
The edlelbrock manifold was a good buy for $100.
Im looking for a 440 for my Roadrunner
Hello! Frank Parks at Mopar Restos Summerville, Ga. See on you tube, HOT ROD HOARDERS EPISODE 33 I have Many 440 engines in stock here!
That’s awesome @Frank Parks that you can help out James. Please give him a fair deal. Thank y’all for watching!
Hey James! Keep an eye out on Facebook. Frank Parks says he has some👍🏼
@@frankparks4900 Saw the video mentioned above and got your phone number. I WILL call and see if we can make a deal on a 440. I also will be needing a 70 Roadrunner driveshaft for manual and Dana 60, maybe both front bucket seats, again for a 70 Roadrunner
The all steel rust parts ( the parts that are not part of a rebuild kit ) you put them in white vinegar for 2-3 days and shake the gallon of white vinegar with the parts in it, and all the rust comes off. Just remember to coat them with WD-40 wen you remove them from the vinegar. It cleans them like brand new.
Thanks! I’ll give it a try
Just bought one for $200
A 440 and trans that is
That’s excellent! I would have done the same. Even if I didn’t know what I’d do with it yet. If you needed to sell it for 6-700 later, you’d still be helping someone 👍🏼
Great deal man! You can never have too many 440s.
Mopar parts for Good Mopar Folks.. done and done.. keep at it..
Yes sir! Thanks for the support!
Just sold old 440 hade 20 emails sold for 500. No problem selling
Mickey Thompson that was a fair price! Thanks for watching!
Hey Joe my name is Shane we live a long ways apart it sounds like you live in Arkansas and I live in northern Michigan I have a ton of mopar parts that I'm going to do nothing with if you would like me to send some pictures or anything send me a link or give me an email address or something
Emails sent
Nice challenger.
Mickey Thompson thank you! You probably noticed the tires!
1buck cubic inch
I like it
Hopefully you didn't pay much for the transmission
I think 50$. I sold it to a friend who is using the tail shaft and output to combine with a motor home transmission.
Your pretty spot on with those prices. I've paid more for a RV 440 mainly because I wanted it and in my area they tend to run 500-1000 depending on condition. What we really need to to discuss in the MOPAR community are these dang 89-93 Dodge Cummins prices!! Everyone with their $1500-$3000 truck wants $8500-$12,500! Heck the average price for a truck that needs everything and beat to heck is $5500-$7500, Ridiculous ! I need to find a donor for my Crew cab .... That's why I'm complaining HAHA
To each his own Duddie! They are you diesel guys coming 🤣🤣🤣. But seriously, the RV 440 is good, but they usually have junk compression and I’ve seen many with the jumbo trash heads and water pump assembly. I’d pay 700$ for a known runner, not one locked up lol
Um....I want a tshirt! ;)
Mopar parts are all over the place in pricing. Between mopar guys lets keep it so that we can all get our cars on the road. Trying to find a 8 3/4 sure grip in my budget is like finding a needle in a hay stack and when you do, just for the third member that requires a full rebuild they are asking $900 up here in BC, Canada.
I like that Rob! I’ve given up on finding suregrips. I’ve got a cheap solution that I will make a video on soon 👍🏼
@@JustMoparJoe Sweet. I hope it isn't welding it together lol
Rob O'Hara no sir! Not the Lincoln locker

Sweet! I’ll get it cleaned up someday
You can never take to much of my time.
I’m just out here sharing the truth 😂
