'41 Fat Bottom Girl Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 Engine torn down and measuring parts, probably will need a standard .020 over kit, rings, seals, gaskets etc., maybe cam bearings and other as things progress. Is there a good, preferred parts house for kits? (I saw a recommendation on a similar thread a while back, but couldn't find it again) Thanx! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 a few companies sell all in one kits, Kanter comes to mind, but be aware you will pay primo for the convenience....try VPW also and to some degree maybe even Terrill... 1 Quote
tom'sB2B Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 I purchased everything from Terrill Machine and Egge. I had my cam ground by Egge. 1 Quote
allbizz49 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 Try vintage power wagons. They might not have a single kit but they have everything you'll need for a rebuild. Also, ask your machinist or local Napa. Sometimes they can put together all of the pieces as a kit. Quote
westaus29 Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 I have found Egge good for pistons and rings but their complete rebuild kits are expensive. I have used Andy Bernbaum or Roberts Motor Parts for miscellaneous engine parts and both are good quality. They have websites which are reasonable. Vintage Power Wagons are worth a look too. Complete gasket sets are available at reasonable cost from a number of suppliers.. Quote

Andydodge Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 A few years ago when I was chasing parts for the 230 I had I found that there were a couple of guys on US ebay who were based in Turkey, yep, that one who regularly listed 40's & 50's mopar parts at very good prices....these were factory parts still in original boxes and were NOS in perfect condition........from memory I got a full set of lifters, valve guides and an oil pump for less than half what the going US price was and they arrived here in Oz, well packed and promptly...........I found a lot of this stuff listed under both Plymouth and Dodge and would suggest its worthwhile doing a search every so often outside of exactly what you need as something might be mislisted.............regards, andyd Quote

Did you have Egge grind lifters also or purchase new? Thinking through this now as I've found a cam issue with my project. It's bent! Quote
tom'sB2B Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 I bought all new lifters, valves and guides from Terrill Machine. I would purchase as much of what you need from Terrill. He is the least expensive. I also found the Egge, while a good company, doesn't always have everything on stock, so they source from other companies. They are also slow to get the parts on the mail. 1 Quote
