So as suggested above a regular cylinder hone type would work? With the "dingleberries" on it?

Really? Are they new or used? What brand?

Ok heres the other question I had. I discovered I had a bent pushrod and I think Im just going to replace them all since its cheap to do. I need to know which pushrods to order. I assume its the 7.5 inch 5/16 version for a hydraulic non adjustable valvetrain? I measured the others I have and I...

I may be able to hit up Harbor Freight and grab one if the 3 pronged one wont work. Why is one better than the other? I suppose I didnt consider that the block may be tougher than the honing stones but wouldnt have been confident enough to just dive in without being sure either.

What would you suggest I do to remedy this? All I have is a 3 pronged honing device. I think it would work its just a matter of keeping the junk from falling on the cam and in the motor and perhaps "over-honing" the bores.

I watched a video of that tool being used and unless it can be used on an assembled engine that will not be an option. That tool would slam into my cam lobes on its way through the bores not to mention the "ball" end comes off it and you have reach through the cylinder bores to extract it. My...

Ok so Im on the home stretch of putting this 360 together and finally hearing it run and have run into 2 problems and I probably make a seperate thread on the other problem. So as the title reads I have installed my lifters in their bores but just barely. The fitment was very tight and it took a...

Sometimes I wish I'd be ok with fenderwells since they are in more abundance for these cars. If my car wasn't as original as it is and as decent of shape as it is I'd just shortcut it and get fenderwells. I've thought many times about buying a crappier early A just so I could hack away at it...

Well that would be ok but the idea of spending more than 1k for headers is not something i can handle. Even if I had the money. But I don't which is why I'm looking at these tight tubes since they are about $250 right now new. Got a guy that will do the mods to the primary and collector and may...

Anyone else still running these headers or planning to? What was the process like getting them to fit? Did the engine have to be loosened and lifted or did it fit ok after the primaries were moved around? I have seen in a few other threads about the head pipe matching up and what it took to make...

Did you have to end up doing the #1 primary mod like us early A guys have to do? one of your top down pics almost looks like you did.

Hi all, gotta question about these tight tubes for early A's. I checked these out a few years ago when it was a popular topic which now seems to have dwindled but I'm now in a position where I'm looking at an alternative to crappy 273 manifolds and I need to get this particular thing figured out...

I used to sort of be apart of that club. Havent had contact with anyone there for many years. Didn't end so well with one of the members there. Very wary of doin that. If I didn't have any other choice then I guess I would have to.

Ya that cant happen lol.

Hello all, I didn't know where else to put this but saw a few others do it so hope it works. My problem is I need a camshaft degreed and need some one specifically knowledgeable with Mopars so here I am. Last time I had a friend do it, well, didn't turn out well at all and he's the only one I...
