Wonder what he was eating.... I plan to hit it with a sanding disc and reuse it. I am sure after only 240K miles it will be fine...

Came across a great deal on a fresh rebuilt 360 short block with zero deck height. The problem I would have is my heads are iron EQ heads with 62cc chambers. Playing with the compression calculators online I would need a .060' thick compressed head gasket to get the compression down to 9.8...

With my current setup, the low compression 360 likes 42 degrees total timing. I currently use 21 degrees initial and 21 degrees of mechanical advance. That seems to be working well, but I am also getting 24 degrees of vacuum advance so I am getting 66 of total timing running down the road...

Hello all, I am trying to determine the correct pushrod length for my special application. I have an LA short block with a hydraulic roller cam and special hydraulic roller lifters I got from Hughes. I am running EQ magnum heads with thin .028" thick head gaskets. The heads use the 1.6...

What does it take to keep the thermostat housing from seeping coolant? I have tried several gaskets and sealers. I have even put thread sealer on the bolts, but it still seeps. I have thougth about going to something with an O-ring seal like this...

Looking through Craig's List I found a 320HP, 360 Magnum, crate engine for sale. I went and took a look and have several questions based on what I saw. First off the engine had a zero balance flexplate on it. Did Chrysler have specially weighted torque converters for Magnums or did they...

I am thinking I need to pull my stock 360 for a "freshening". I already have plans for a new cam, lifters, double roller timing chain, and mildly ported "J" heads. I will add those part to my existing M1 dual plane intake and 3310, 750 vac secondary Holley carb, and 1 5/8" long tube headers...

Hello all, I recently converted my 273 to electronic ignition with the MP conversion kit. Does anyone know how much mechanical advance they build into the distributor? The vacuum advance is adjustable and I am seeing reports of 15-18 degrees of vacuum advance in the distributor. I can't...
