For those who like to keep their hard earned dollars at home, we've dedicated an entire department to parts which are 100% made in the USA! We don't use the tactics of many other companies, which have 99% of the thier work done overseas, and the final 1% done in the USA, and then try to sell the parts as "Handmade by American Craftsman." You can be sure that all of the many pages of parts listed in the section are genuinely 100% made in the USA from materials also of US origin.
We are die hard Mopar guys over here. Most of us have been into Mopar for decades and have had dozens of them over the years. Naturally, we know all about Mopars famous super stock program, where the engineers stopped the stamping presses, removed the steel and did a limited run of aluminum through the presses to make doors, fenders, hoods, and lots of other stuff out of aluminum so it would be a fraction of the weight. Well, we make our own alternator and power steering brackets, so we thought, wouldn't it be cool if we did the same thing? So, we are offering a limited production run of our brackets out of aluminum! It's amazing how much lighter these are. Factory steel power steering brackets come in at about 2 pounds for the set, and these aluminum ones are barely three quarters of a pound. A super cool conversation piece. Run them as is, polish 'em, or paint 'em black for that Stealth look. Get them while you can, only while supplies last... And, made in the USA of course!

Trick Flow's exciting new USA MADE Big Block Mopar heads are now available! These are only available fully CNC ported, and feature a peak intake flow of 334 CFM, which should easily make in the 600-700 horsepower range in a 500+CI engine, depending on the rest of your build. These interchange with all factory style components such as pistons, rocker arms, intakes and headers, so very little "special" items are required. They do require 3/4" extended reach spark plugs (use our part #138-1000) and special longer head bolts, see our special special Trick Flow head bolt kits also listed. This version is supplied with valve springs which will fit most FLAT TAPPET hydraulic cams and feature steel retainers with 7 degree locks which Trick Flow rates up to .650" max lift. Also features a heart shaped 78CC combustion chamber with angled spark plugs and 2.19" intake and 1.76" exhaust valve diameters. Trick Flow lists 4.320" as the MINIMUM bore diameter to be used with these heads. A great head at a great price! Trick Flow part #TFS-61617801-C00. These are sold individually (one head per part number,) so order quantity of 2 if you need a pair of heads.

We offer this 12 point performance bolt upgrade kit for using TRICK FLOW heads with our 200-1032 Billet Aluminum Rocker Holddown kit. Normally rocker hold downs will use 6 short bolts and 4 long ones, however Trick Flow heads were re-designed to use all 10 short bolts. So, we have sourced the additional four 12 point bolts required, and we offer them as a separate kit which can be purchased to use our 200-1032 rocker holddowns with Trick Flow heads. Includes 4 bolts, use one package per engine. Washers are not included, they are supplied with the 200-1032.
Our oil pump priming shafts are perfect for priming your engine before that first startup. These specially hardened steel priming shafts fit on any 3/8 in. or larger drill and will pressurize oil galleys to ensure against dry starts and ruining your engine. Don't fire up that engine without pre-lubing (priming) it thoroughly with oil and our oil pump priming shafts. Compare to Mopar Performance P4286800.
If you really want to get serious, our new 100% USA MADE fabricated aluminum fabricated valve covers are the EXACT SAME covers used on pro-stock and other professional racing classes. Normally sold by the high dollar fabrication companies for $400 or more, we're now making them in huge volume and by doing this we've been able to bring down the price considerably. Fully tig (heliarc) welded from aluminum sheet, at just under 3 1/2" tall, these will clear most any high lift cams and bulky rocker shaft holddowns. These use an incredibly beefy 3/8" thick solid billet flange, AND after the covers are welded, we fully CNC MILL the entire flange to make sure it's as flat and straight as an arrow. It's rare that even the $400+ sets will do this, usually they just lay them on a belt surfacer. Reduced head diameter valve cover bolts or studs, such as allen or 12pt heads are recommended. These are available from us under part number 129-1030. These covers come without any breather holes, to allow you to use a simple holesaw or punch to position the breathers and/or oil fill caps exactly where you need them. These are every bit as well made as they look in the pictures. Please note: Sheet aluminum is very soft! Even sliding it across a table will cause very small scratches. We try to be as careful as possible during manufacture, but occasionally there will be some small surface scratches on some of the covers resulting from normal handling during the manufacturing process. When the sheet aluminum is bent in a brake, sometimes the brake will leave a small line where it pushed up against the aluminum to shape it. This is stuff you would find with any fabricated aluminum parts due to the soft nature of aluminum. The vast majority of our customers would never give any of this a second thought, but we have had some people who are VERY particular. If you consider yourself very, very particular about this kind of stuff, we would recommend you have someone either powder coat these covers, or polish them to a mirror finish. This looks great and will remove any trace of surface imperfections. When used with Edelbrock Victor heads, the inside of the rail may need to be clearanced. Because these covers are made for maximum room under the cover (for rocker clearance) the outside edge may interfere with larger diameter (Pro-Billet style) aftermarket distributors. We recommend using the standard diameter billet distributor (such as our 117-1000 or 117-1026) for extra clearance in this area.
Our brand new hand FABRICATED ALUMINUM oil pans are 100% USA made in house. Fully TIG welded from .090" thick (11 gauge) sheet aluminum with a solid billet rail, they rival or exceed the quality of similar "name brand" parts that cost several times as much. We even include clearance provisions for the dipstick and internal oil pickups, which many of the high dollar pans usually don't bother with! The sump measures 7 inches deep and features a "kick-out" on the passenger side, bringing the capacity to 8 quarts, and helping with ground clearance while still holding double the capacity of a stock Chrysler pan. These can be used with internal or external oil pickups. We have the matching deep oil pickups available in both 3/8" and 1/2" (Hemi) sizes on our Oil Pickups page. These will fit '66 and later "B" and '70 and later "E" bodies, and many other center sump "car" applications. Don't forget a drain plug (also listed.)
Melling M-63HV High volume oil pump assembly. For engines with extended capacity (deep sump) pans, we recommend the Melling high volume pump. Completely brand new, assembled and ready to install. Currently, the only manufacturer of aftermarket oil pumps for the big block Chrysler is Melling Engine Parts. Melling has been in business since 1947, for over 6 decades. They currently manufacture over 3 million oil pumps every year. Aside from the billet and aluminum racing pumps made by Milodon, Keith Black and others, Melling is THE only source for stock replacement type cast iron pumps. Don't forget gaskets and attaching bolts as well (listed separately.)
Melling M-63HP High Pressure oil pump assembly. For engines which have factory capacity oil pans, we have found that the high volume pump can sometimes suck the pan dry, resulting in bearing damage. For those factory capacity (non deep sump) engines, the high pressure pump is a great alternative. You still get the added benefit of oil which is being pumped at a higher pressure, without the added volume which can suck the smaller capacity pans dry. Completely brand new, assembled and ready to install. Currently, the only manufacturer of aftermarket oil pumps for the big block Chrysler is Melling Engine Parts. Melling has been in business since 1947, for over 6 decades. They currently manufacture over 3 million oil pumps every year. Don't forget gaskets and attaching bolts as well (listed separately.)
This valley pan is the same as our single plain models, except it features a clearance well which will clear the exhaust crossover found in the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold. It DOES NOT work with stock cast iron intakes, the Edelbrock standard Performer, or any others. These also work well with our aluminum Stealth heads, Edelbrock RPM heads, or any other aftermarket heads which feature an unbroken deck surface where the lower edge of the head's deck surface meets the edge of the valley pan. It will also work with factory cylinder heads, however there may be a small gap where the lower deck surface has a break which may need to be filled with silicone, depending on the intake manifold you are using. Because this pan is a single solid piece which fits "under" the cylinder head intake face edges, it requires at least one cylinder head to be off during installation or removal. Supplied in a gold irridite finish for good looks and corrosion resistance.
This version fits the "B" (361/383/400) engines.
We offer Johnson / Topline "Hylift" American Made Heavy Duty Standard Hydraulic Lifters. Great quality at a great price. Use these with both stock and most performance cams under about .510" lift, especially if you are using non adjustable factory stamped steel type rockers. These work great for up to 5500 RPM. If you intented to go beyond that point, then we recommend going with our "anti pump up" style of lifters along with an adjustible valve train such as roller rockers, etc.
Our engine lift bracket is a great way to move around engines, or install them in the vehicle with a hoist. It also serves to block off the carburetor mounting flange to keep any foreign objects out.
Shown here is our BRAND NEW REPRODUCTION USA Made Distributor Holddown Brackets. Why re-use your dirty worn original when you can get these brand new reproduction pieces at practically swap-meet prices. Fits all engines ("B"-"RB"-HEMI,) all years.
Water pump pulley spacer. These are .055" thick. Fits between water pump and water pump pulley as needed for clearance. Multiple shims can also be stacked together to change belt alignment for custom pulley/bracket setups.
For those that want original factory looking parts we now offer our BRAND NEW REPRODUCTION 100% USA made factory style alternator bracket set. These come in a powder coated black finish. They have all the curves and holes exactly like the factory ones did, including the two upper holes which fit both low deck "B" (361-383-400) and raised deck "RB" (413-426-440) engines. Aftermarket chrome units have only one hole which fits only RB engines. These require a 1968 or later water pump housing, or an aftermarket aluminum one. Why pay 50-60 bucks or more from the "reproduction" stores when we now have these available at a very affordable price.
Our fabricated sheet metal valley pans work great with our aluminum Stealth heads, Edelbrock RPM heads, Trick Flow 240's AND 270's, or any other aftermarket heads which feature an unbroken deck surface where the lower edge of the head's deck surface meets the edge of the valley pan. They will also work with factory cylinder heads, however there may be a small gap where the lower deck surface has a break which may need to be filled with silicone, depending on the intake manifold you are using. The pan is shown upside down in the picture. When it is installed, the "lips" along the long sides will fit underneath the edge of the cylinder heads, making a tight seal and allowing the use of standard intake port gaskets. This pan is designed to work with SINGLE PLAIN INTAKES only. Dual plane intakes (including stock units) will not fit due to the exhaust crossover which hangs down underneath them. We do have some other models which may work if you are using a dual plane intake Because this pan is a single solid piece which fits "under" the cylinder head intake face edges, it requires at least one cylinder head to be off during installation or removal. Supplied in a gold irridite finish for good looks and corrosion resistance.
We carry these in two different versions, one for the "RB" (413/426/440) engines and one for the "B" (361/383/400) engines. Be sure to select the correct one for the type of engine you are working on.

Shown above is our exact reproduction of the factory six pack throttle return spring bracket used from 69 1/2 until 1972. It will work on all engines, but is factory correct for those years. These include the small tab that fits into the bolt hole in the head. These make a great general purpose throttle return bracket which looks 100% factory, but will work with most aftermarket intakes which have a raised height. A nice piece at a price which blows the "restoration shops" out of the water.
Shown here is our Saginaw power steering pump. These are original factory parts that are fully remanufactured with all new seals, bearings, etc. Purchase is outright, there is no core return required. These are for pre 1975 applications which use a locknut and woodruff key to hold the pulley onto the pump. These are great for factory replacement, or for adding power steering to a car which didn't have it from the factory. Use this pump with our 132-1003 pulley, 127-1006 brackets, 109-1513 bolt kit and 138-1010 cap for a complete and ready to bolt on unit.
Our ARP Flexplate to crank bolt kits are the strongest bolts you can get to attach a 6 bolt crank to flexplate for high horsepower and/or highly stressed applications. Made from 200,000 PSI forged aerospace alloy, these were originally developed for NASCAR winston cup competition. The bolts are fully heat treated prior to thread rolling and machining. Flat 12pt head design ensures no clearance problems during installation. These will also work for attaching the flexplate to the torque converter with Hemi or aftermarket racing torque converters that have 7/16" bolt holes (only 4 are required for this application, so you will have a couple spares.) If you have a stroker engine with aftermarket components, high stall, etc... these are must have item. You simply can not put in stronger bolts than these.
Our ARP torque converter to flexplate bolt kits are the strongest bolts you can get to attach your torque converter to flexplate for high horsepower and/or highly stressed applications. Made from 200,000 PSI forged aerospace alloy, these were originally developed for NASCAR winston cup competition. The bolts are fully heat treated prior to thread rolling and machining. Finished in black oxide for good looks and corrosion resistance. Flat 12pt head design ensures no clearance problems during installation. If you have a stroker engine with aftermarket components, high stall converter, etc... these are must have item. You simply can not put in stronger bolts than these. These are the smaller 5/16" bolts used for most stock type torque converters. For most performance torque converters, use our 7/16" bolt kit instead, which is part # 129-1052.
When bolts just aren't strong enough, you have to go to main studs. Our ARP main cap stud kit are the strongest main studs you can buy for the big block Mopar engine.
The BEST option. Our ARP polished stainless steel intake manifold bolt & washer bolt kits are exactly what people mean when they say "show quality." Made from ARP's proprietary "300" stainless steel alloy, they are rated at a minimum 170,000 PSI, which is even stronger than a grade 8 bolt! And, you can't beat the quality, shine and corrosion resistance of polished stainless. Nothing resists the ravages of weather, time and even repeated tightening and loosening like stainless. These are truly maintenance free! They also feature a reduced diameter 12pt head for easy intake manifold changes and less clearance problems with oversize runners. Matching polished stainless washers are included. With these being some of the most visible bolts on the engine, small details like this can really make a car "show quality."
The BETTER option. Our ARP 8740 Chrome Moly intake manifold bot kits are black oxide coated for good looks and corrosion resistant. They are rated at a minimum 170,000 PSI, which is even stronger than a grade 8 bolt! They also feature a reduced diameter hex head for easy intake manifold changes and less clearance problems with oversize runners. Matching black oxide washers (shown above) are included.
This ARP black oxide valve cover stud kit is designed to work with our fabricated valve covers (part #200-1052) which have a 3/8" rail. Using studs for the valve covers allows the gasket to be properly positioned while the valve cover is guided into position. Bullet nosed studs allow for easy installation of covers and easy threading of nuts. Special reduced flange diameter 12 point nuts help to give the most possible clearance in tight fit situations. Includes 12 studs, nuts and washers. Finished in black oxide for good looks and corrosion resistance.
Whenever you order bolts, don't forget a tube of ARP assembly lubricant. ARP's new "Ultra-Torque" is a special new blend of PFTE lube which ensures the correct torque will be reached on the first pull, so there is no longer any need to "cycle" the fastener (or loosen and tighten it several times), which has been the case with ARP's regular "Moly Lube" This lube is essential to get correct torque on the head, rod and main bolts, and it doesn't hurt to put it on misc other engine bolts as well. One tube is usually enough to do 4 or 5 complete engines, so it's a good investment to keep around the shop.
Our water pump housing bolt kit includes the bolts shown below to attach a water pump housing to your engine block. Supplied in a good looking ARP polished stainless steel, these are exactly what people mean when they say "show quality."
Our ARP Flywheel bolt kits are the strongest bolts you can get to attach your flywheel to your crank for high horsepower and/or highly stressed applications. Made from 200,000 PSI forged aerospace alloy, these were originally developed for NASCAR winston cup competition. The bolts are fully heat treated prior to thread rolling and machining. Finished in black oxide for good looks and corrosion resistance. Flat 12pt head design ensures no clearance problems during installation. If you have a stroker engine with aftermarket components, performance clutch, etc... these are a must have item. You simply can not put in stronger bolts than these.
Our ARP 8740 Chrome Moly water pump housing bolt & washer kits are black oxide coated for good looks and corrosion resistance. They are rated at a minimum 170,000 PSI, which is even stronger than a grade 8 bolt! These feature a 12pt head for easy access. Matching black oxide washers (shown above) are included. Considering these bolts are located at the front top of the engine, they're one of the first things you see when the hood is opened, so small details like this can really make a car "show quality." The missing bolt on the lower left side is included with our alternator bolt kits, since the type of alternator brackets being used will affect the length of this bolt. The missing bolt on the upper right hand side of the housing is used to hold the power steering brackets on (used only with power steering cars, of course) and it is supplied with our 109-1513 "Power steering bolt kit" if needed.
Our ARP black oxide coated fuel pump attachment bolt kits are exactly what people mean when they say "show quality." Made from start to finish right here in Southern California, they are forged from aircraft quality 8740 Chrome Moly steel that exceeds the most stringent aircraft quality standards, and are rated at a minimum 170,000 PSI, which is even stronger than a grade 8 bolt! These feature a 12 point head. Matching black oxide washers are included. Small details like this can really make a car "show quality." Order one kit per engine to attach the fuel pump to the engine block.
Our ARP torque converter to flexplate bolt kits are the strongest bolts you can get to attach your torque converter to flexplate for high horsepower and/or highly stressed applications. Made from 200,000 PSI forged aerospace alloy, these were originally developed for NASCAR winston cup competition. The bolts are fully heat treated prior to thread rolling and machining. Finished in black oxide for good looks and corrosion resistance. Flat 12pt head design ensures no clearance problems during installation. If you have a stroker engine with aftermarket components, high stall converter, etc... these are must have item. You simply can not put in stronger bolts than these. These are the larger 7/16" bolts used for most aftermarket performance torque converters. For most stock converters, use our 5/16" bolt kit instead, which is part # 129-1006.
Brass Freeze Plug kit. Includes block plugs, oil galley pipe plugs and cam plug. A nice upgrade from the standard steel kits, brass has much better resistance to corrosion.
Another 440 Source item you won't find anywhere else... Shown here is our Brass Early Disc Style Plug kit. Used on all big block Mopar engines from their introduction in 1958 until 1962, these conical "discs" are secured in the block by tapping them in the center which causes them to expand. These kits include EVERY plug you will need for the engine, including the engine block, cylinder heads and camshaft plug.
Total Seal's 40+ years of ring manufacturing experience has led to the development of the "CR Series" Moly rings. Made in the USA, these are a brand new design of ring made from premium ductile iron.
We also offer an upgraded VITON fluoroelastomer rear seal. Viton is made by Dupont, and has much greater resistance to high temperatures than standard rubber. It also doesn't have a tendency to dry out and shrink over time while sitting, which makes it a great choice for cars which will sit for months or weeks in between being driven. Overall, Viton is considered a top of the line material to use for rear seal applications. One more way to combat those pesky rear seal leaks. These fit all big blocks, all years. Our 144-1000 kit includes both upper and lower seal halves.
We now offer replacement oil pump gaskets. For some strange reason, these are not offered separately or included in ANY gasket sets from any of the major gasket suppliers such as Fel-pro, Victor, Rol, etc, and they are nearly impossible to find. Many of the gasket companies list "Oil Pump Gasket" in their catalogs, but under the description, the part is listed as an "o-ring", so it is actually the standard rubber o-ring which fits around the drive area of the pump, not the gasket. So, we've sourced these hard to find gaskets and now offer them for sale separately. Another "pain in the butt" big block Mopar problem made simple and inexpensive by 440 Source!
We also offer upgraded silicone rubber rear seal end strips. These are the small strips which fit down the sides of the rear seal cap and seal it to the block. These are a huge improvement over the standard style paper or cardboard strips. Silicone is considered a much better material to use for these rear seal end strip applications. One more way to combat those pesky rear seal leaks. These fit all big blocks, all years. Our 144-1001 kit includes a package of (2) end strips. Color may be orange or blue, depending on stock.
