    leaking oil pan, 360 Magnum

    I had a leak at the front of the oil pan, tried the stop seal spray stuff. Seemed to work for awhile, stopped most of the leak, just a tiny drip now, but I can't identify exactly where from. It's in the front. It's definitely not the crank seal in the timing cover or the timing cover to...

    Flex Joint or no?

    I have a 360 magnum in my '67 dart, did the SL6 swap using Schumacher conversion motor mounts (73-76 style spool type K frame), so urethane not rubber. I'm using TTi shorty headers and 2.5" dual exhaust with H-pipe. The TTi setup has rubber-lined hangers for the tail pipes and rubber-strapped...

    Driveline angles

    As I understand it, the engine/tranny tilt angle and the pinion angle should be equal, i.e. the two axis should be parallel and the U joint operating angles should not exceed 3 degrees ideally. That all said, I see mopar enthusiasts using some pinion angle (preload?) to account for the rise...

    Measuring driveline offset at transmission

    How do you determine what your offset is from center at the transmission? Someone mentioned "measure using the pinch welds" in a b-body forum. How do you all measure it? I believe on an A-body it should be like 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" or thereabouts toward the passenger side. I just want to know what...

    valve chatter 360 magnum

    My 360 magnum crate engine is a BEAST in my '67 dart. It dyno'd at 375hp, 420 lb-ft torque (builder was Performance Injection Equipment). I have 2.76's (cruiser) in the 8.75 chunk (posi) and if I hit the gas a bit too much when the light turns green, it spins both 215 60R/15 rear tires. My...

    oil pan leak

    Now that I sealed the rear China wall leak, I see oil at the front of the engine. 360 magnum, '67 dart 2dr hardtop, slant six K frame with Schumacher conversion motor mounts. After some testing, checking, it appears that my oil pan is leaking at the front corners. I put a "diagnostic diaper"...

    TTi shorty headers v ministarter

    I just did a SL6 to 360 Magnum swap in my '67 Dart. I have planned this from the get go, I already had heavier torsion bars, sway bars, beefier leafs in the back, 8.75 posi, bigger brakes, 15 inch tires, etc. The 360 Magnum is a HUGE change in power (dyno'd at 375 hp/420 lb-ft). All good with...

    Some 360 magnum questions

    So, I finally fired up my 360 magnum, set the timing, took it for a short test drive ('67 dart 2 door hardtop). I have a few questions and and an issue (the thing I dread most, an oil leak). It runs cool, no issue there, great response, kickdown is working perfectly (A904), very smooth and...

    A904 fluid level

    I have a newly rebuilt A904 and I'm running a deep pan/filter extension. Please be patient if you've heard this story a million times.... As per instructions, when installing the new A904, I put a quart of fluid in the torque converter and two in the tranny. The builder told me to put two...

    Horn issue...

    My horn worked fine. Then I swapped engines. Then the horn didn't work. I can hear the relay clicking, but no horn. I checked the ground by putting power directly to the horn wire, horn works, that's good. Installed a new relay, horn works. Two days later, same issue. I can hear the relay...

    won't start....

    I pulled my slant six and swapped it for a 360 magnum. I was very careful not to change anything in the wiring, I marked everything and simply reatttached. I did put a different neutral safety switch in the new tranny. When I turn the key I get intermittent power, i.e. my volt gauge in the...

    [WANTED] 360 magnum, need intermediate shaft

    I'm looking for an intermediate shaft for a 360 magnum. Apparently they are hard to find. I believe the part number is Melling IS-72. I had my engine built, got it in, went to pump up the oil and noticed there was no intermediate shaft (well at least I didn't have to remove it...). I called...

    360 Magnum, mini starter part number(s)?

    I am swapping from SL6 to 360 magnum. I had used a mini starter on my slant six, Remy 16054, see pic below. Alas, it does not seem to fit my 360 magnum. I read on this forum someone used a "2000 Dakota 360 R/T" mini starter. Does someone have part number(s) for mini starters compatible with...

    A904 real seal questions

    I put my driveshaft in and I noticed the real seal boot was folded in on itself, see first pic. No problem, I took a soft plastic tool and unfolded it, see second pic. I've never noticed a raised lip on the end of the boot, could it be that it was supposed to be folded under so that lip seals...

    Belt guidance

    I'm putting a 360 magnum in my '67 dart, setting it up as an LA would be, OEM LA type alternator and Saginaw power steering brackets. I bought what I thought were the correct v-belts for the alternator (goes on alternator and rear balancer pulleys) and water pump/powersteering/fan (goes on...

    power steering bracket mounting holes

    Hi I just mounted my Saginaw style power steering bracket to the 360 magnum. I took a punch and checked the holes, they appeared to dead end, but somebody told me they go into the water jacket. Is that true on a 360 magnum block?

    [WANTED] shift and kickdown levers for A904

    I sold my slant six and A904, but duh, I forgot to remove the shift and kickdown levers. Does anyone have these? See pic below. They are mopar part numbers 21-142-12 and 21-142-18. I tried the NOS folks and Ebay...no luck. Brian

    360 magnum flex plate to A904 torque converter

    Question: when the magnum flex plate is bolted to the torque converter, should the edge of the outer rim touch the torque converter or does it make contact only on the bolt mounting pads?

    360 Magnum flex plate mod question

    I understand that one must modify one of the bolt holes in the 360 magnum flex plate to fit the bolt pattern of an A904 torque converter. As the picture below from one of the tutorials describes, one just uses a rat tail file to open up the one of the holes that doesn't align. So I did that...

    3 ohm vs 1.5 ohm ignition coil

    OK, so on my slant six I was running a 3 ohm Pertronix coil, no ballast resistor, with factory mopar electronic ignition. I'm swapping to a v8, and I read on the Pertronix website that the 3 ohm coil is for 4 and 6 cylinder applications, but for a v8 one should use the 1.5 ohm coil? Am I not...

    correct flex plate for 360 Magnum

    I believe I read on this board that I can use the B&M 10239 flex plate for the 360 Magnum (with A904). My engine builder says no, I must to a Magnum flex plate. True? Brian

    thermostat water neck question

    I ordered a water neck (thermostat housing) for my 360 and it has an o-ring for the seal, not the paper gasket. Does anyone know if those O-rings seal good or should do the old fashioned paper gasket with sealant? On paper, the O-ring seems like a good idea, just checking against reality...

    Stupid me...

    I have an A904 and it's out, I can't remember if the spool mount (open) side of the cross member goes toward the front of the car or back...I plum forgot. I've seen on E-bodies it goes forward, and I've seen on A bodies people orienting toward the rear of the car. Which is it for my A body? Pics?

    A904 inspection cover fitment with mini-starter

    I finally got my A904 (for small block) and I seem to have the correct inspection cover, it fits perfectly, see pic. My mini-starter also fits the bell housing perfectly. But, the starter and inspection cover don't align properly. Question: do I trim the inspection cover a bit, or is there...

    TTi dual exhaust '67 dodge dart

    Hi, I've just started installing my tti 2.5" dual exhaust. I don't even have my 360 yet, but I'm redoing the fuel lines and you start the exhaust install from the back, so... Anyway, my question is how close to the gas tank is OK for the passenger side? The driver side looks like there is...

    Extra water temp sensor location

    Hi, I had a slant 6 with FiTech 4bbl TBI. I put the FiTech water temp sensor at the head near the thermostat. I also put another temp sensor, for my temp gauge in the dash, on the passenger side of the block, there is a threaded plug down on the side rear of the oil pump that accesses the...

    Torque Strap?

    I'm doing a Slant 6 to 360 Magnum swap. I'm using the Schumacher motor mounts, trimming the driver's side slant six k-frame mount, drilling a new bolt hole for the Schumacher mount as per instructions. OK, so the instructions also recommend using a torque strap for "...any high performance...

    Pulling my slant....hood on

    OK, so I really wanted to pull my slant without taking off the hood....success! I fabricated a custom puller using a 2" x 10" x 1/2" thick chrome moly steel plate (OK, I tend to over engineer), drilled two holes for 3/8" bolts for the two bosses on the head and a big *** bolt (11/16" thread?)...
