    360 Already Bored .030

    My '72 360 has already been bored .030, and there's a bit of a ridge in the cylinders. It was rebuilt stock many years ago. Would it be safe to bore it another .010? Bummer is, I already bought a set of .030 over KB191's for it, and I'm concerned putting them in with the ridge there.

    KB191's In A Stock Motor

    I might be working out a deal on a 383 for my cuda. So, I thought I would throw my 360 together and sell it. My question: How well would a 360 run with stock rotating assembly, KB191's, stock smog heads, and a really mild cam? Would I need to worry about the compression being too high? With...

    Swirl Port or 4051's

    Saw a local ad for a pair of 308 swirl port heads, bare castings, checked for cracks. He wants $200 for them. Will they perform any better on my 360 drag motor or should I stick with my 4051's? Motor is a 360 LA.

    KB 191's And a 1051 Head

    I'm getting ready to hang my KB 191's on my rods. It's a .030 over 360 with I'm sure no deck shaving. Will I run into any issues running those pistons with my current 1051 heads? I'd love to buy a set of X or J heads, or even aftermarket heads, but I just don't have $1500 to spend right now...

    500 HP on Low Compression

    I had a guy tell me the other day he could get a 360 small block LA to push 500 HP with 8.5:1 compression and no nitrous. I call crap on this one. Any possible way?

    ID Pistons

    I just can't seem to ID the new pistons in my motor. Its a 1972 360 truck motor, all rebuilt, don't know if stock or what. The pistons are flat tops, a small indentation ring in the middle, .030 over punched on the flat top, the B-200 cast on the inside of the skirt, and some hash marks cast...

    Flat Top Pistons

    I'm getting parts together for my LA360 build and noticed that hardly any companies carry dome pistons. The flat tops in the motor now are fairly new but I don't know where they came from. They are true flat tops with no valve reliefs. Are there different flat tops that raise the compression...

    Piston Clearance

    I was checking clearances on my 360. My crank was already turned .010 recently, so I think just a fresh set of bearings will do it. But, I checked the pistons, and they're like a quarter inch down the more or more at TDC!! And these are flat tops, .030 over. Is that normal? No wonder the...

    Gonna Experiment With 4071051's

    I'm going to experiment with a set of 4071051 heads. Anyone else work with these heads? About 10 years ago, I got a junk yard 350 Chevy, rebuilt it with flat pistons, smog heads, around 8.5/1 compression, and got the car running in the 12's. Not bad for having about $700 in the motor. I know...

    ? on Head machining

    I'm on the lookout for a set of perf. heads. What I have is a set of 4101051's already rebuilt with about 40K miles on them and very clean. What ball park figure would it be to massage these heads to work on a 400 horse motor?

    What's With The Goop?

    I've seen 3 small blocks now with some type of sealant or "goop" around the rear cam plug. Is it a common problem for leaks? My 360 had it all the way around the plug. Just curious.

    360 Motor

    My buddy gave me a truck load of parts when I picked up my 'cuda last week. I got 2 8-3/4 housings, a center section, 6 14" wheels and a complete 360 motor of unknown origins. The 360 looks as if it was rebuilt once, but unknown by whom. It has an Offy Dial-A-Flow intake, ceramic Super Comp...

    Thinking of a 360 Build

    I want to do a 360 build for my '69 Cuda. My goal is a limited street car that will run 11's. I gotta make it worth having a cage!! I have no experience building a small block Dodge. Should I look for an early block, or late-model? Any good factory head castings, or should I just go...
