Thanks, we’ll look at that. The compression is 11-1, and that is why I’m looking at a rebuild. It’s .060 over now, I don’t know how much a 360 can take. This engine was built in 2011, and I have a feeling that it was run pretty hard after that. I talked to the guy that I bought it from, but he knows not much. At least one thing, I found a good Mopar guy. Lee Nelson, who bought Gary Ostrich’s name and shops 25 years ago, recommended him. Lee said that he could do this, but can’t get to it before Fall. And so far, Brad seems like one of the good guys. He lives in my area, which is even better. As for the gear change, no it won’t make the smoke go away, but it will take care of 3000 rpm at 50 mph though. Tomorrow, my son and I are going to jack up the beast, and see just what ratio is in there. It was suppose to have been changed to a 3:55 before I ought it, and if that is a 4:11, then maybe it would be best to go with a 3:55. I remember back in the old days, I just hated those 3:23 gears that most all the Mopar came with.
