hey fellows i got an issue with the duster today i got her out of storage and fired her up for the first time in a few months after idling for a while i found a puddle underneath it, which turned out to be coolant best i can tell, its coming from the top of the timing cover (you can...

So, I've noticed there seem to be two kinds of bolts used on the 90 degree adapters The most common one has round holes, while the other one has elongated holes I would imagine the elongated holes are much less restrictive, but it looks like they were mainly/only used on the 273s Anyone else...

been trying to get the plow truck up to par and it is driving me crazy (next time i wanna buy a ford, just shoot me) i found out the reason i couldnt run a OEM coolant hose is because the PO installed the wrong water neck so, i ripped it of, bought a new OEM one (pot metal, whatever it is...

I snapped of the custom (read, countryside engineered) throttle cable of my duster today I'm looking to order one of the lokar cables, but I'm wondering what the best way is to run it when I did it last time, I made the cable about a foot long, it came up over the cylinder head and to the carb...

I know ive seen a picture of a member who had tapped the oil passages in the block and installed fittings right in there, but I cant seem to find it now I'm having an issue with my oil filter plate and I think this might be the best option for me now (short of pulling the motor and having the...

this thing is getting under my sin 75 360, build into a 408 by MRL, a few thousand miles on the build a while ago it created a slight oil drip, but ive been keeping a close eye on it, and she has not ran dry, not even low last Monday I went on a trip, maybe 60 miles round, mostly highway on...

hey guys I lost a belt on the duster the other day and she ran lot for a few minutes this was about a week ago then today, I noticed one of my valve cover was wet on the bottom I cleaned them up and checked the bolts turned out they were all a little loose is this a common issue, or would...

71 duster with a MRL build 75 408 I noticed a slight leak on the duster, and found the bottom of the oil filter was wet everything around it is BONE dry I asked Mike what might have caused this, and he thought the OEM oil filter plate was leaking so I went ahead and ordered a canton...

I replaced the valve cover gaskets, and shortly after that I noticed the leak is there anything else that could likely cause this? and if it is the valve cover gaskets, what do you suggest to replace them with to prevent this from happening again ?

Anyone have any tips? I have a 6 point 1 inch socket, ground flat to grip better but she is not budging The small block is installed in a 71 duster, with dougs headers Thanks guys

hey friends I dropped of my 360 at MRL last week to get rebuild I had written down all the dimensions so I could build a little cradle for it when I'm ready to pick it up and sure enough, I cant find the scrap of paper I wrote it on now, the engine has the milidon 30941 pan on it...

kinda jumping the gun here but it looks like I might have an issue wit my 360 which warrants a rebuild I called a local machine shop and they quoted me around $2500.00 after we talked a bit about what is on the engine right now it came down to $1900.00 (main reason being they serviced...

I was out riding today and I noticed a knock in the engine, loud enough to hear it over the exhaust I babied the car home and listened to it idle didn't seem to make a racket at idle but when I hit the throttle it sounds like loose bolts rattling around in there it would slowly quiet...

tried to drop the 360 in my duster today with all the rocking back and forth the K member sliced through my milodon oil pan :banghead: it is not oozing but it is bad enough that when you wipe it it will bleed through right away its a cut less then an inch wide is there any way to...

so, I pulled this bracket of the engine sandblasted it painted it and completely forgot where it went :banghead: any thoughts?

hey guys it appears some dummy pulled the front of my 360 apart and said "eh, ill remember what goes where" now im about reat to put her back together but I have a handful of brackets (getting ready to get painted) for the alternator and powersteering that im not sure how exactly they bolt...

and...do I need it? I pulled the timing cover off the swap cams out and noticed I did NOT have an oilslinger in my 360 (and ive heard of others who did not have them either) I also came across copious amounts of silicon on the cover so I have reason to believe it has been tinkered with...

so I send the wifey and kids out of the house so I could work on the car a bit (here in Michigan we don't do post season football) I went to install the new intake manifold and in order to get some more wrenching room on one of the bolts I decided to remove the coolant sensor that sits on the...

hey guys I am getting ready to swap the pan and pickup on my 360 so it will work in my duster the pan will be an 8 quart milodon unit and I figured now would be a good time to also put in a new oilpump would there be any reason for me to install a high volume unit or will the stocker...

so I bought a felpro gasket kit for my 75 360 it came with 2 sets of intake gaskets, one steel one fiber (or whatever that cardboard stuff is) im using a weiand action plus aluminum intake what gasket should I use? and would it be a good idea to fab a little block off plate to close...

hey guys, I went to put the heads back on my 360 and I noticed that the fel-pro headgaskets I have block of several water passages, most notably the two larger ones on the front of the engine, right behind the water pump (ill try to take some pictures soon) these are the ones I have (part...

hey guys, I am considering putting a new waterpump on my 360 the stock unit has 8 vanes (motor did come with AC and hopefully will have that again once the swap is completed) I stopped by autozone and their duralast pump runs 35ish dollars but only has 6 vanes will that be sufficient...

is there such a thing as a drop in high compression piston ? I really don't want to spend the money on a new bottom end right now but I am considering slapping some fresh pistons on there ive read up on it and there seem to be some nice options out there that might bump the compression ratio...

im working on a 75 360 to put into my 71 duster while I am prepping the motor im installing a new camshaft, intake and oilpan I ordered a fell pro full gasket kit to make things easier and a comp cam camshaft kit aswell both came with valve stem seals, the fel pro has positive intake...

hey guys, i just picked up a great set of valve covers, the cast aluminum ones i like both the covers have bosses cast in them (one for a 710 cap, one for a PCV) so it shouldnt be to hard to open, but what is the correct way? drill bit? end mill ? dremel ? i figured i would put...
