How would you retain the lifter dog bones? Older LA blocks don't have the bosses cast into the block in the valley for the lifter spider bolts. Plus, I believe the lifter bores are shorter and would uncover the oil grooves on the lifters.

Trick flow for the win.

A soft old beach towel works fine for me.

The seals for a 68, 69, 70... are all the same. They only changed HOW they install. Later ones go in from the front. Just get one and pound it in. Don't overthink it.

No, you're fine. Put a new seal in the timing cover and test fit the balancer if you'd like. Should fit fine.

One has the seal install from the front and one has the seal install from the backside. That new one is like the later model version (76-and later I believe?) which installs the seal from the front.

Yeah, disconnect the throttle cable. Maybe it's hanging it open.

What's the other issue?

Yeah, if it's a 2-corner idle deal, it won't have idle mixture screws on the secondary side. Pretty easy to tell if you look at it closely. edit - or you can look up the list number to see if it's supposed to have 2- or 4-corner idle adjustment.

$1,500?

Looks great! I'd paint them.

Which ones - as in what brand and model?

For what it's what, I think Firm Feel has them for $400 plus whatever they charge for shipping. Still a stupid price in my opinion, but if you can't find a used one and you can't get a slant six version to work, what else are you gonna do?

Thank you. What tires do you run up front? Maybe the early Valiants and Barracudas had less room for a rear tire than the early Darts. The 315/60/15 drag radials fit like a glove in my '66 Dart.

There are some decent photos here: Radiator Core Support Blackout

What do you have and what are you trying to do?

What do your spark plugs look like?

The earlier ones used bows and the later ones used a hardboard headliner. I think the cutoff year was 71-72, but not 100% sure.

In case you hadn't seen it:

I'm a firm believer that it's the skill and know-how that makes the paint job, not necessarily the equipment. Good painters can lay down a paint job with a cheap gun much better than a newbie with an expensive gun. Me?? It doesn't really matter. I can paint runs with an expensive gun just as...

Do you need it to be NHRA-compliant?

I think those clips require a thin rectangular slotted hole.

Anyone know what a converter shop charges to replace a scored hub? I wonder if they make repair sleeves for them like for harmonic balancers.

This is gonna be a great running little 360, Joe. It's gonna purr with those tall gears on the highway. Did you ever think of going A-500/42RH?

I'm pretty sure all 4 bbl 360's came with that cam, right? Not just LRE's.

Something's up with that passenger side spring would be my guess. The angle of the coils seems very different

Are the parts numbers on the springs the same? Did they have the same length sitting on your bench prior to installation? Something's not right.

3M rubber splicing tape works well. https://www.amazon.com/3M-Temflex-Rubber-Splicing-Tape/dp/B005298APQ?tag=fabo03-20

Looks like a 904 reverse drum. Try looking it up at transmission parts suppliers to see what they sell for. That'll give you an idea of the value. Probably not much in my opinion.
