Guy,s

I wrote a reply on DodgeCharger much like this one. Let me tell you my experience with the 440 Source WP housing and pump. I have a 572 Hemi with 11:1 compression, Ported Indy heads, Siamesed World block, solid roller cam, Dominator carb. I think my engine is capable of producing around 700 HP and mainly street driven so if there is an application that will tax the cooling system then this is it. I recently took my car to a local Mopars in Motion car show that was over a 1 hour drive one way. It was brutally hot with temps in the mid 90’s. I drove my car through the back roads, stop and go traffic with no issue. Now think about this, this is low road speed, that means low air flow though the radiator and also low RPM and therefore low water pump speed. The absolute hottest my car got was 195 degrees but spent most of the time around 185. I was at this show with other Moparts members including Tom “Moparts” and Tim “Defbob” who know my car and can vouch for my existence. I do have my doubts that by replacing the housing they found the miracle cure but would also admit that it is possible that there could be a potential issue only because I gasket matched my port openings before installing. I don’t think I would encourage people to rush out and replace there 440 Source housings before actually doing what I did and trying it. I would also like to add that there isn’t many parts that I bought that could be used “Out of the box”, made in USA or otherwise.
