Refreshing 360 after 10 years....

the Dart made one pass on March 18, slowed to 11.01 @ 118....we parked it..

As noted in post No. 76....that loose rocker arm turns out to be a flat lobe on the flat tappet cam....as I suspected.
During the rebuild I noticed one tappet looked like it had a hair line cracks on it like a blister....could not feel anything on it...and the cam lobe look fine also...so I replaced all the lifter on the 10 year old cam.....apparently no. 6 intake did not like that....i do not remember if that was the lobe with the blistered lifter or not....old age..

Engine comes out last saturday...torn down...everything cleaned...oil pump thrown away...pulled all the main caps and none of the bearing showed that any metal had gotten in there...cleaned metal filing out of oil pan...cleaned everything twice....

Replaced the 10 yr old Hughes 6064 cam with mopar 590 cam.....got everything back together except intake manifold...putting it back in Dart on Tuesday....doing a little spectating at the nhra drags this weekend...
