What is your fastest time to pull an engine, install another and drive it away?
I plan to do the swap maybe next weekend.
I’ve been getting stuff ready. I will be pulling the current 360 and saving it for my four door…
Because of that, I wanted to keep the engine as complete as I can. When it comes out, I’m considering leaving the exhaust manifolds in place along with the pulleys and alternator.
Yeah…. Mismatched valve covers! I have another pair like these hanging on the wall!
I thought of leaving the manifolds with the car and just reusing the whole exhaust system but I have headers and everything to make a good 2 1/2” setup so I may pull the whole exhaust setup here out to use in the 4 door.
I dug through the stash to find matching pulleys.
The setup on the Dart uses a cheapie 4 groove crank pulley. I used it years ago just because I had it. Belt alignment isn’t perfect but it has never thrown a belt.
The roller 360 will get a 2 groove crank pulley since I had one. I did have to use a 3/16” spacer to get the grooves to line up.
The outer groove is for power steering.
The radiator in the car is a single row 26” unit from a Chrysler Fifth Avenue.
I don’t recall ever having an overheating issue but I have another radiator I may use…
This 26” unit is a 3 core. I’ll need to get that upper hose nipple moved at a radiator shop.
