Interior is cream fabric/plastic and gold paint No rusty floors, other than minor surface rust Going to DMV this Friday to get tags so it can be driven

Replied :)

After 2 years of not doing anything with this car it's time to move on, sadly. It is the car in this thread: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=84136 Car has been covered and stored off street for a few years, non-op current registration. The car runs and has the stock 318ci...

Think I'm gonna go with the Kevko pan and pickup. They tell me I won't need my windage tray since their pan has an integral crank scraper - sounds like the best move to me.

PM sent

I'm interested, how fresh are the bearings? Shipping to 90025?

Re-read the cam per 360duster's recommendation, making sure to keep my caliper at 90 degrees to the lobe, the results were sickening actually - sending this cam back, I think the guy at the grinder was high :homework: The cam was supposed to be .525 intake lift and .512 exhaust lift at 1.6...

Will approach with a scraper only, standing down on abrasive

I was expecting to see .328 on intake and .320 on exhaust to get to .525 and .512 Agreed, which is why I also read straight off the lobe Pure genius Michael, I'm ashamed I didn't go there myself... genius

I will look at the #1 and #5 bearings more closely and address the shiny spots - I like the lapping compound idea but not sure how it wouldn't just get pushed out - don't like the idea of scoring the journals though I did clean the cam well and also tried it backwards. Going to take the block...

I am trying to "read" my new cam Cam is a 287/298 duration with .512/.525 lift Reading the lift at the lobe, I am getting .308 and .313 between intake exhaust and intake. Simple math tells me .308 x 1.6 = .492 .313 x 1.6 = .500 I read the cam installed in the block, off the lifter...

Looks like I have two basic choices, buy a new pan or use a different gasket. Looking at pans, Summit has a stock replacement pan http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G3536/ but perhaps I can add some volume Milodon has a few pan options, including a stock replacement for $132, and much more...

I don't have a cam sprocket yet, but I turned it with the bolt and a wrench

Ok got a roller cam for my '99 magnum 360, cam bearing were already installed by PO. Cleaned and lubed shaft and bearings. Cam slides in easily through all bearings except it WON'T SEAT -the front bearing seems REALLY tight, like tap it in with a mallet tight; so I did Tried the cam backwards...

Spoke with Art at Mancini, he said "any 360" pan should work, I would just have to seal the corners where the step is. He also told me there was an "odd ball" year of the magnum, can't remember what he was referring to,. but my front and rear seals are different diameters - the rear is smaller...
