Good day gentlemen. I'm making my first posting and hopeing you can steer me to a good oil for my new 440. I've recently had my Chrysler 440 V8 rebuilt with edelbrock heads and Crower cam and have so far decided to use Torco TR-1 mineral oil at 10W/40 weight. I will be using the car for street only and chamging oil and filter after 3000 miles. Have I taken the right decision?
440 best oil?

Won't hurt to do a search on MOPAR engines; several threads with owners of the B/RB Wedge asking this question exist.
I beleive any name brand 10W40 will work well for you.
Oh yes I forgot to do a search! Thanks. Too impatient!
Torco TR-1 is an excellent choice for short OCI and that application - be gentle on rpm / load until the water is 140F and things will be great.

Hello fellow Mopar fan!
Many have had great success using Rotella T 15-40 in there old RB blocks. I have used it exclusively in my 63 Dodge, Motorhome, 68 Dodge truck, etc..
It's an HDEO, designed for diesels, and works great with these old cars.
I know of many other mopar guys who have used it with great success, as well as several big mopar engine builders who love it.
I use GC (German Castrol) in my modern cars.

I had a '68 440 R/T Charger a number of years ago, with cams, etc. The mechanic who built it had me run 20w-50.
Best of luck with that beast.

Furor: n. A general commotion; public disorder or uproar. [Middle English furour, wrath, fury, from Old French fureur, from Latin furor, from furere, to rage.]
I have used Mobil-1 15w50 in my 1969 340 dart for a number of years now and it works the best for me.
Love the engine bay 11second looks like a great 440 installation, very neat and clean too, you must be very proud of it. Car looks like a real beast too!
