I just installed a set of 60779's on my 360 and tried using stamped steel rockers.They hit the valve spring retainers.Luckily I had a set of 273 rockers lying around.

I know they're out there,I bought a set for mine a couple years back.I'll try and think where I found them.For some reason I'm thinking slant 6 Gromets

Thanks,How'd I miss that.I looked at the paperwork.I guess I'm as bad at looking for things as my x said.LOL

I'm trying to button up edelbrock head swap but don't trust torque spec in manual of 35 fts,I went up to 25fts,but am afraid of stripping out intake holes in heads.I already broke a rocker shaft bolt due to wrong specs.on my old heads.

I just used a starter off a dakota no big dollar aftermarket don't know part #

No problems with that set up here

I compared my home depot separator to my friends Steeda that he has on his GT500 and could find no differences other than I had to make my own bracket,at least mine has brass barb fittings not plastic.So I have to disagree that it doesn't belong.I do agree that it doesn't have enough capacity,it...

I have a blown mustang that I run an Ebay catch can with a homedepot compressor air water seperator before it goes into the intake and it works great.Mustangs had a problem even with out a blower with pcv valve in back of intake drawing in oil.Set up is a lot cheaper than 150 bucks.If you only...

I painted my intake on my dart, i'm getting lazy.I use purple power on my Mustangs natural cobra intake,then use 1500psi pressure washer to rinse it off.Brightens/cleans it right up.Might have to scrub real bad spots with a tooth brush in the really bad spots.Always cover electrical parts.I...

I put Doug's on mine.No burnt plug wires,spark plugs are easy to get to,as are header bolts.No low pipes dragging on the ground,nice heavy gauge pipes/flanges.Steering linkage doesn't run thru them.They fit great w/power steering,didn't have to ding any of the pipes for clearance.I think...

Just reread the post,arn't Rhoades known for being a little loud?

If your running a Hydraulic cam you'll need some preload between 10 and 60 thousands depending on what your going to do with it and who you talk to.

What I'm working on is a 360.rebuilt about 3yrs ago.Timing chain is new,double roller,Comp I think.I thought the noise was a lifter.The only thing I can think of that I reused was the thrust plate.The fuel pump is a Carter muscle car.I've got some medical problems so I have to fix the noise...

Great news it was the fuel pump! I see a slight mark on the arm should I notch it or try and hit it w/a hammer to clearance it?

That didn't do it going to pull fuel pump next and check the arm to see if any wear marks on it where it's hitting the timing chain.

I did run it less accessories and still made ticking noise.I'm going to try loosening the 2 lower water pump bolts since they run through the timing chain cover.Maybe hitting on chain or cam sprocket/sprocket bolts.Going out there now and try it.

At first I thought ticking noise was coming from bad lifter but I found the noise was coming from the timing chain cover by using a hose.It seems to be louder on the driver side below water pump but above crank.What do you think? Too long of bolt some where?fuel pump arm hitting timing chain?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to just tear it down this winter.The blood disorder I've got is terminal.They can't tell me how long I've got,5,10.15,20 yrs maybe more.Just don't know.So I'm going to live for today.Was going to stroke it but I think I'm just going to put a better set of rods in it,put...

the shafts are on right ,slots down.I will check how much wiggle room there is.I thought only the 273 rockers had clearance problems not the stamped rocker.I'm going to take a look at that.If all checks out I think I'm going to pull the motor and tear it apart.I keep thinking about if the cam...

It does it with stamped rockers and the 273 rockers.

The ***** is I was planning on pulling it out to stroke it,but I've discovered I've got a blood disorder and I'm not sure what the treatments are going to cost me,cause my insurance sucks.Hematologists bill was 1400 fighting with them,they say it wasn't neccesary.Hate to tear it down if I dont...

about 25 @idle,55 going down the road,both when hot.But I'm starting to wonder if maybe one of the bearing moved because it seems to go away under load.Still getting oil @idle but just not enough,when under load more getting forced up there.Seems to be coming from the passenger side.

the cam and lifters are comp xe274h,I've heard that they tend to be noisier than most, but I had the same problem w/valve noise w/a summit cam ,441/.441.I'm going to make sure all the valve stem are the same height w/a straight edge.Never tried the adjustable rockers on that cam tho.

I've been fighting a lifter noise since motor was rebuilt,has had 2 different cam and lift sets in it.After sitting awhile would tap loud for only 2 or 3 secs then quiet down but still tap quietly.Lifter bores where checked when block was done.I recently installed some 273 rockers and it quieted...

Sounds like an exhaust leak to me.But yes you will need a torque wrench to not only use on the rocker shaft bolts but also on the intake bolts,as the the intake needs pulled to change the lifters.I 'd change the header gaskets first,make sure to add thread sealant to front and rear bolts as they...

Thats why I figured on going with grade 8.I'm using an old set of M/T valve covers so if I measure right it should be ok.I checked ARP catalog and see none listed.I guess I could tape the shims to the shaft then remove it after bolts are started

Does anyone know the dimensions of rocker shaft studs? I'm going to have a local shop make me a set of grade 8 ones.I'm using 273 adjustables with stock hold downs and my push rods are about .020 too long.I figured studs would make the shims easier to install.I know I should just get shorter...

Was digging around my Mom's attic above the garage and found an AVS carb that was on a 70 340 dart I had back in the day.Don't know if it was original to the car as I was the 3rd or 4th owner.Any way to date it? and what would it be worth cause I'm thinking of selling it.I know it needs rebuilt...

I'm going to go with the LA-x heads from IMM and Hughes rockers,I like the fact they come w/banana grove shafts,shims n everything.Do I have to go with billet hold downs or can I just use factory ones?This car is mainly a street car and may only see the strip once in a while. I'm going with IMM...

Planning on using my tax refund to get some heads for my 360,currently have J's w/1.88/1.6 with no other work than a fresh valve job.Would like sugestions on new heads.My combo is: 30 over w/ KB107s,block not decked xe274h cam RPM intake Holley 670 Street Avenger carb 2800 converter 3:55 gears...
