Im here Just to ser the follow up. Im interested in the next mods this guys make to estoy a bodies!

I did came back to B3RE and read again his post on Rocker geometry. I will send him an email about my issue with rocker and start from there. Bad thin is that I'm in south america this will take a longer than expected. Thanks for the advice

It is set at 0. I will run the compression test

Thats OK for Dragstrip. but I'm at 40º initial!!! With the distributor used it reads 60º total all in at 2800rpm!!!

Brian6pac: I will perform this test soon and report back. by the way I already used two different strobe lights with the same result on both. One dialback Innova and one old without any adjustment and just reading my timing tape. Both same #. When you say you ran your 340 at 40º at the...

I do not want my engine to eat parts!!!! with 16 miles I have to take the entirely top end!!! S now I'm gona triple check everything!!! So please point in the right direction.

Yellow Rose, my valve train issues with 273 OEM Rockers and Crane Ductile were that they didn't have enough clearence between the rocker and the springs, so the spring retainer were hitting the rocker, I wasn't able to even bolt them. Aftermarket aluminum rocker have recesed clearence there and...

yep 100% sure that I'm hooking #1. I have tried two different distributor one aftermarket like OEM (with 15º mechanical advance in it - 30º at the crank) and one Mopar Performance unit (with 10º mechanical advance 20º at crank). Rigth now it has the Mopar unit operating. For total advance I...

Forgot to mention: No Vacuum advance connected at all and pluged at the carb!

Sorry wrong link, this is the one 360 Six Pack lots of initial timing!!!

Here is the thread on the initial timing issue. My 360 Six Pack build!!!

Hi all, I'm having odd things with my initial timing in my freshly rebuild 360 Six Pack engine, I'm set at 28º initial now but I'm able to go to 40º without any kickback on the starter or pinging!!!! At 40º that thing shouldn't even start .... but it does and sounds mechanicaly correct ... We...

Alright, i'm back!!! I have some issues with my engine that I wasn't able to fix until a week ago. Startes with two bent pushrods in cylinder #2, further checking showed that all pushrods were hittin the cylinder heads towards the intake side, also that the heads/spring combo was not...

I got mixed up with all the srping part numbers ..... Still I need to go back and check the installed height on my actual springs to make my final choice. Thanks for your help Locomotion!!!!

I also thought that the recomended springs by Comp and Summit were on the strong side ... but two different sources told me the same, so go figure... But looking at the beehive spring chart and comparing them to the regular ones suggested for my cam my choice was 26981 ... but both Comp Cams...

I have got answers from Summit and Comp Cams tech line about this. Both recomended Beehive Springs 26986-16 kit for my cam, but about valve locks and retainers, Comp Cams suggested 795-16 retainers and 614-16 valve locks and Summit 787-16 retainers and 623-16 valve locks. The only difference I...

Locomotuon thanks for your answer! I need to go back a do some measures on mi actual springs before selecting new ones. But I'll be out for three weeks... So I'll have to wait a little bit more to solve this.

Qkcuda thanks for the advise! Since mi valves are 0,100 longer maybe there is enough room.

Hi all, I want to move to beehive springs in my engine since with normal springs my rockers are hitting the springs/retainers and the only rockers that cleared were the Proform, and I don't like them. So the beehive springs will be the solution to this and I got 273 STD rockers and Crane Ductile...

Hi Demon!! I do have a question for you, since we got very similar engine combos. I cant get more than 10" of vacuum at 900rpm ... I really thougth that 12/14" was totally doable with this cam and 10,3:1CR. What do you think? Rigth now I'm set at 15BTDC and 34total at 2700. 63 on center carb...

I tried to use 273 cast rocker on my 360 Engine with RHS LA heads and the rockers were hitting the valve springs retainers so that was a no go for me. Maybe because my valve springs are wider that stock ones? Also I tried a Crane ductile iron set and they hit too, less but enough to make it a...

No, that slave cylinder is what came OEM on the Dodge 100 pickup trucks here in Argentina. Maybe it's the same as the Nissan, I don't know.

Its only because I like that look on ss headers. The guys at the headers shop are used to work like this so I went along. I have seen Dougs 450 headers on early A body and I didn't like them, the collectors hang too low, too close to the ground.

It is. An we are using 1-5/8 tubbing ... in a perfect world 1-7/8 will be the ticket to go ... but not without cuting the fenderwheels, and I don't want to go there.

Here are some more pictures.

Hi all!!! Here is an update on the headers fabrication. This is taking much longer than I expected, but since my car is an early A body and the room is tigth I wont complain about that. They are being made in stainless steel and right now the drivers side is finished, so they will move to the...

I've just found this post!!! Totaly awesome!!!! I do really hope that you have more progress to show.

Although I have allways wonder how does speeding an engine with windage tray helps to get the oil to the camshaft from the rotating assy, since as long as I understand thats the meaning of going to 2500rpm, to get the crank spreading oil all over the bottom of the cam. But then again tyere is a...

That I did. "A few minutes in the engine stand" actually means "25 minutes in the engine stand @2000/2500 RPM with zddp aditive added to the oil". So hopefully there should be no tappet or cam wear!!!! And also took the inner spring out of the heads to reduce break in spring pressure. If...

Here is the seller, although he doesn't have valves for SBM listed rigth now you can send him a PM trough ebay and ask. You should look for 8mm stem valves...
