Yeah I changed the thermostat about a year ago but that might have been defected.

Well we changed the cam and the torque converter and put a 160* thermostat in it and it will not go over 170*. And it has so much more power!

So ditch the shroud and fans and get a big 18" and attach it to the back of the rad?

I'm not 100% sold on the idea that the fans aren't adequate. The shroud has 2 10" holes in the back with the high flow fans pulling air through the radiator and pushing it towards the engine, you can feel the air from them when the hood is up just standing on the side of the car. They are set to...

We had it looked over when we had the heads done. This was when I first bought the engine and they put the heads and everything together at a local performance shop.

Yes the water flow seemed to be fine it did the normal burping and we kept filling it and what not. We have the engine out now and have the top end ready for the new parts.

I ultimately just decided I want a driver as opposed to when I first got the car I wanted a beefed up 360.

He didn't tell us to get 2 750s he said with the engine like it is right now we would need the to give the cam and intake what they require. We are going to get a milder cam and carb to make the car more of a driver instead of a drag style car. We are getting a new manifold, smaller carb...

So my dad called and talked to summit to order some parts and he talked to a 60 something year old drag racer who asked about our manifold, cam and carb and he did the math and said we need 2 750 double pumper to even start giving the cam and manifold the juice they need. We only have 1 750 dp...

We had a clutch fan with the stock radiator and had room but with the aluminum one it takes up too much room for a clutch fan.

I'm not sure why there is so little room honestly, it's mounted in the stock holes with the stock mounts... we couldn't use the clutch fan with the aluminum radiator.

Yeah it dies lol, yes we have done a leak down test.

When it's idling it seems to be okay it will crawl after about 20 minutes for a while but we can't drive it father than 3 miles.

Don't remember the exact rating but they were the highest rated for their size. We have them set to where they come on when we turn the key. We have changed the water pump. As I said we had problems before we had the shroud and fans.

It was overheating before we put it on, that's why we had it made. It is attached to the top of the radiator and covers the back and then attaches to the bottom.' Before we installed it, it seemed to overheat faster now we can go about 3 miles without it getting too hot.

Thanks for all of the responses! It has overheated since we put the engine in, we start it and it slowly creeps up if you leave it idleing, or drive it. We replaced the thermostat twice i believe with 180's. Someone was saying to just run it without it, is that recommended? My dad and i have...

Hey guys its been a while since I've been on the forum. I have a 72 Dart Swinger and when i bought it it had a 318 and it blew so i bought a re manufactured 360 from O'reileys. We've been having overheating issues with it for a while and are trying to troubleshoot it. The engine has: Big...

Sorry its been so long we got it all together fired it up and it started heating up just like the 318 ( we think the problem was that it was 180 out) so we put the heads in the machine shop and the engine just to get looked at a few months ago, now we are taking our time puttig it back in the...

Where's Joe Dirt? Lol Edit: didn't read last comment lol, I totally did!

Look awesome!

One of the best childhood memories I have are with my dad. We had a 69 SS 396 turbojet Chevelle I was like 5-8 and he would get on it. I remember racing lots of people at lights. I'm not going to say that was a smart thing for my dad to do but the guy mentioned probably does the same sh*t with...

Awesome thanks guys! Sorry for being a pain just don't want to mess this up and buy another 100 bucks in gaskets having to do it all over..

Okay so on passenger side notch goes to the back right? And you end up l r l r l r l r with last right at front of block?

Okay awesome, now I'm so paranoid haha. That pick with left and right placement looks like its from the drivers side, how do you do passengers?

Heres a picture of what im talking about with the numbers... I just need to know if it matters as long as they are all in right positions L and R.

Thanks, I have the rift and left. Does it matter where the 47 and 48s go?

I bought a crate 360 short block from o'reileys auto. It's high output. I'm up in Wheatland. About 2 hours from Fremont

Some rockers have 47t and some have 48t, there are 5 47's and 3 48's. How do I tell the correct order on the assembly rocker rod? At some point 2 47's go together. There are l and r which I get.

Thanks for reply, Yeah they are the factory ones. i just need the order for them there is 47's, and 48's. At one point there's 2 47's together, don't know which cylinders those go to.

So... I have 1975 LA 360 heads and we pulled the rocker arms off and evidently *messed up the order * when we put it back together. Just wondering what order the rocker arms go on the shaft. Is it specific for the engine or what? Pretty sure they are stock. I have a pick of the passenger side...
