    OK, good to know. I sealed them just to be sure.

    Coolant coming out of timing cover bolts?

    Pulled the power steering bracket off of my kid's 340 to transfer it to the 360 and had coolant come pouring out of both timing cover bolt holes. Are these holes normally wet? We had issues with coolant in the oil with this engine. Wondering if the block is toast.

    360 oil pan?

    Thanks for the replies. It's a new stock style pan from Summit. Once I get the pick up cleaned out and installed, I'll check for proper clearances and flatness.

    Getting ready to switch out the truck pan for a car pan on the 360 we're putting in my son's Dart. Any tips or tricks to insure a leak free install?

    360 swap?

    Thanks for the replies. I have the yoke from the motorhome. It is a long tailshaft slip yoke trans, not a bolt on yoke. I'll check if the splines are the same. The 340 keeps leaking water into the oil. We tried resealing the intake three times with two different intakes, no luck. It's...

    360 swap?

    Picked up a 76 motor home 360/727 combo for my son's 70 swinger. Wondering what will need to be done to swap it for the 340/727 combo currently in the car. I know we will have to get a 360 pan, but will we need to get a new pick-up also? Read on here the air ports on the heads will need to be...

    Is this 408 worth it?

    Just to wrap this thread up, I stopped into a local shop here today to ask about a motorhome 360 a guy had and there was this truck. Guy said he got it for $1200 and drove it all the way back over the hill from Gold Hill. Said he replaced one spark plug wire and it ran great. He hasn't pulled...

    Which 360?

    Thanks, Rumblefish that makes a lot of sense. I assume the roller cammed LA blocks use a mechanical fuel pump?

    Which 360?

    This will be a mostly street motor. Besides a B&M flexplate, what else is different between a 340 and 340? Oil pan? We have some more detective work to do to the 340 before we declare it dead. Just thinking ahead.

    Which 360?

    Thanks for the replies. Thought about looking for a roller block. Are there any outside clues to know if a block is roller or not? Numbers or other markings?

    Which 360?

    Looking for a donor for my son's 70 Swinger. Spotted a couple at a local wrecking yard. one has casting number 3418496 the other looks like 1008830-360-1(had to stick my phone down in the engine campartment to get a picture because it's still in the motorhome) I think I decoded them to be one...

    Oil Filter problem

    I had to use the chisel method on my Wife's old Firebird once. I put a remote oil filter on the Kid's Dart when we installed the TTI's. Makes oil changes way easier.

    Water in oil?

    The engine is running prety well. We did swap intakes chasing a vacum leak. I'll check that too. Whenever it stops snowing.

    Water in oil?

    Good thinking Redfish. I'll see if we have a tester at the shop tommorow.

    Water in oil?

    So the mysterious dissappearing coolant from my son's 340 has finally showed up in the oil. He rebuilt it for his senior project a couple years ago. He didn't get a lot of supervision and I think something was assembled wrong. The car hasn't been driven much the last year. The coolant was...
