    8mm vs 5/16" valve stem

    Thanks for this about Ferrea valves, I just ordered 4 replacment valves for a Magnum head with 5/16" stems that didn't fit. Measured valve stems installed at 0.308". Now I know where those valves came from.

    64 barracuda 360,what oil pan?

    Summit sells a center sump 360 oil pan. I hammered in the corners to match the 273 pan. I've used 273 904 trans with 340 and 360 with no problems ( I did go through the trans w/clutches and bands. B&M flex plate to balance 360 and a bushing in crank counterbore to match torque converter hub of...

    -64 A body manual steering box

    This is from 340sFastback in 2012 To properly adjust a steering box you have to loosen lock nut on top of box and back out screw to relieve tension. Then loosen the large lock nut where the steering shaft from the steering wheel enters the box. Use a very larger pair of channel locks. Then...

    I've seen vacume advance canisters for single point distributors but dual point canister has a different arm - I haven't found any. I'll try Huges for a rocker - thanks I appreciate your help Rick

    360 Swap, what's needed?

    B&M flex plate for a 360 for a 904 trans has a cut out section to ballance the 360 when used with a neutral converter. Worked good for me. A 904 torque converted that had the 360 ballance weights would work also.

    318 poly heads?

    I'm pretty sure Poly heads will fit LA 318 block, you'll have to use a poly cam & pushrods that go with the poly rocker setup and of course a Poly intake. I think the Poly pistons had 1 valve notch for intake valve only.

    mileage. the harder i try the worse it gets...

    You said the idle screws are backed out 2 1/2 to 3 turns to get it to idle - 1 1/2 turn out is closer to what it should be. With the cam you have, I'm guessing that idle vacume is low. That lets the carburator jet needles lift - not enough vacume to hold the needle down in the jet. If this is...

    273 valve covers

    I didn't remove them, taped them off and painted the covers. I don't know what type glue the factory used but I decided not to take them off.

    I value your opinions: 360 Street Setup

    I would go with the 270S cam, make sure the 273 rockers don't rub the valve springs or retainers. I would guess that a .060 over 360 would be fine with a stock converter & the gear you have. A dual plane manifold might be better but a single plane worked fine on my 360; if you find you need...

    Adjusting valves on a 65 273?

    I adjust my valves with the engine off and cold one cylinder at a time. I adjust them cold because I don't like burning my fingers and not running because I couldn't keep a socket or wrench on the rocker. I pull the plugs so the engine is easier to pull over with the fan blade or a socket on...

    Starting my parts gathering

    Some 318 engines were forgings with bushed rods for floating wrist pins. Casting numbers on 273 & early 318 should be the same. The 273 & 318 cranks have the same ballance. Early 273 has a smaller hub bore for torqueconverter hub.

    273 rebuild

    A running 318 swap would be a lot less money than a 273 rebuild that needs boring & pistons. (Rebuilds have a way of snowballing into more parts and money) A 318 bolts in, use the 64 exhaust manifolds and 64 brackets and linkage; crankshaft will need a bushing to fit the hub of your auto trans...
