Think I got it. I added .3 instead of .03 when I ordered the first set. Too bad it will be a few months before I get to work on it again since I am BFE Afghanistan now. I think I got it though. Not sure what Lunati recomends, I used comp magnum springs.

I think I am Forest Gumping the crap out of this. . . So I tried to measure my own pushrods with a solid pushrod for a magnum head equipped 360 and the length I got - taking into consideration hydraulic lifters need a little extra length to function - was 7.75 inches. I went to install them and...

Hey hey! I needed to know the torque spec too. Is there a tightening sequence or just a criss cross patter like almost everything else? Also, I did the green bearing swap. Piece of cake once you get the old bearings off. THAT was a pain in the ***. I suggest skipping the torch/hydraulic press...

I checked that out, sent the guy they were talking about an email. The Mezziere pump LOOKS similar to the CSI one but I'm sure looks doesn't cut it when your talking about a cad design program ;)

Two things in addition to that, one, the Toyota Prius utilizes an electric water pump, I see enough of them on the road to believe technology must have come a long way. Also, you could toss a fan/water pump belt and not notice and SEVERELY over heat a motor really quick, at least with an...

Pretty much all the horror stories about electric water pumps are urban myths from when the technology was still new; kind of like the horror stories you hear about using nitrous oxide. The reliability issue from continuous use can be completely negated by making the water pump either manually...

Oh yea, I forgot to mention, I put Magnum heads on and they use the pedestal mount roller rockers; not shaft rockers. Does that matter??

OK, now, I measured pushrods for the first time today and basing it on what Lunatis web page said and demonstrated I think I did pretty well. However, do the intake and the exhaust require different length pushrods?? The camshaft is split duration, a lunati voodoo piece BUT I didn't read any...

The 727 comes in two styles, a small block bell housing and big block, any small block one will bolt to any LA small block (will NOT bolt to an A) and any big block one will bolt to any B/RB motor. NOW, I do not know about trans tunnel clearance issues and I believe if you started with a 904 you...

A new hemi swap will cost WAY more than 360 stroker build even if deck out the 360. The 6.1 L hemis with the harnesses are going for upwards of ten gs. Shoot, you could probably build a 500 horse 360 stroker and throw in a brand new tranny for less than just the motor for a 6.1 Hemi UNLESS you...

Thanks for the help, was gonna do the mains didn't think about the rods though, good call. I just put a new cam into so I relubed all the bearings and put assembly/break in lube on all the journals and lobes. Thanks for the help!

OK, so my motor has been out of the car for almost two years now. I have it torn down to the short block with the timing chain set installed but as I was installing the chain set it I noticed the motor felt like it was turning kind of stiff. Could this be an issue if I drop the motor in, prime...

HEY! Thanks a lot for all your help!! I really appreciate it, I think ill be able to figure this out once I get some pushrods AND the right cylinder head bolts. One more question, Comp cams cam instruction video says to use a solid lifter to do the adjustments BUT it seems to me that if I have...

OK, so I'm finally upgrading my cam in my 30 over 360 and Im putting a decent size Lunati Voodoo unit it BUT I have never done this before and as I'm getting into it I'm realizing its tad more difficult than magazine articles would have you believe so I have some questions. 1- I am switching to...
