Yep. I was very polite and just had a couple questions on his products. Needless to say, he missed out on that sale. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but his customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

He's not the friendliest guy, that's for sure. I got my earful. Never again.

That's gotta be pretty frustrating. I'd maybe try a thin telescoping magnet through the pushrod hole. Then raise the lifter up and into the bore straight down guiding it with your forceps as needed. If you don't have a thin enough telescoping magnet, maybe epoxy a small neodymium magnet to the...

What size blanks did you buy? 1/8" long?

I'm thinking it wasn't zeroed out. Look closely at the scale. The Mancini one looks to be close to 150mm, whereas the original looks to be maybe 146mm. Not sure what's up with the LCD display.

If the belt grooves are in line and the ratios are what you want, there's no reason why the set up won't work. The alternator pulley looks backwards to me, but if the groove is lined up with the other two, it should still work.

You shouldn't have to grind anything. Like others said, I'd be on the phone with Mancini and see what they had to say.

I would think it would be better to have one a little on the large side in that spot to squeeze the gasket better, than on the thin side. I bet if you bolt it up, it'd be fine. It'll just squeeze the gasket a little more, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Only one way to find out.

What makes you say that??? There are tons of modified hotrods in California.

How would you retain the lifter dog bones? Older LA blocks don't have the bosses cast into the block in the valley for the lifter spider bolts. Plus, I believe the lifter bores are shorter and would uncover the oil grooves on the lifters.

Trick flow for the win.

The seals for a 68, 69, 70... are all the same. They only changed HOW they install. Later ones go in from the front. Just get one and pound it in. Don't overthink it.

No, you're fine. Put a new seal in the timing cover and test fit the balancer if you'd like. Should fit fine.

One has the seal install from the front and one has the seal install from the backside. That new one is like the later model version (76-and later I believe?) which installs the seal from the front.

This is gonna be a great running little 360, Joe. It's gonna purr with those tall gears on the highway. Did you ever think of going A-500/42RH?

I'm pretty sure all 4 bbl 360's came with that cam, right? Not just LRE's.

That looks really good. Any idea what water pump pulley that is? I've been on the lookout for a small one like that.

Looks good. What paint did you end up going with?

If you're going to paint it, use something that's fuel resistant. Otherwise, any gas spill will have it looking like *** in no time.

How about a brazed stud, then use a nut to secure the pump? Could that work?

I've had good luck with Engine Pro sets. I've only been able to get them through engine shops though. https://www.enginepro.com/downloads/newdata/EPG_TimingSets.pdf

Way to out yourself, you of fogey. :rofl:

And to think, when I was just getting into Mopars as a kid, these types of discussions were reserved for the E/B-body crowd. I'd never imagine A-body folks needing a correct exhaust heat shield. Don't forget your roots, guys. :poke: Seriously though, I wonder how many of these are sitting in...

Then quit being such a tightwad. They ain't getting any cheaper.

Is this for 100% gasoline, or E15 mix? Or does it even matter?

Can't beat that.

Good sounding little motor. Maybe I missed it, but what'd it have for oil pressure?

What balancer did you end up going with?

Melling cam #MTD1 seems pretty similar to that Oregon Cam grind. More Information for MELLING MTD1

Roller lifter LA motors used drilled pushrods from the factory. I have a great set of used ones you can have if you'd like.
