And yes I've had this motor apart in 3 different situations. It's been kind of an experiment just to see out of curiosity. For example I wanted to know what would happen if you ran a solid cam on a hydraulic lifter. It actually worked but decided to switch to a stock cam. I've had the heads redone so I pulled the old heads and put the j heads on. I've had to take the intake off twice alone because of vacuum leaks. Then i tried running the motor with the stock 318 torque converter. That doesn't work because the 360 is externally balanced and I didn't have weights on the converter. So now I'm at this and I'm still learning. I've just never had this problem before. Gonna try converting to electronic ignition tomorrow and see what happens
