Still love my 73 dart swinger to pieces, but have a soft spot for the Japanese imports. Unlike the States, Canada has a 15 year import rule, so because of that I could import my 98 Toyota Aristo 2 years ago. For those that don't know its essentially a Supra with 4 doors. Pretty hard to beat a...

Hey guys, been away for a while and haven't been posting, been so damn busy! I was removing a crank bolt and stopped the motor by using a wrench in a flexplate hole, well it slipped a bit and made a dent in one of the holes. I'm not sure if it's bad enough to pull the trans and replace it. I'll...

I know this is asked a lot, and a lot are probably going to say everything is fine, but I still feel like it should be higher. The motor is a 360, rebuilt last year, stock crank and rods with ARP rod bolts, KB pistons etc. Has a Lunati solid roller, 245 @50 and 580 lift with MRL lifters...

I've had the problem twice now, and I don't really know what to do about it. This has happened twice now. The first time it happened was last year just before I put the car away for the winter. I was driving it, everything was running perfectly and then the AFR gauge would slowly lean out...

I know flat tappet cams and oil with zinc pretty much go hand in hand, but what about solid roller cams? I hear that you don't really need it from some and that its good to run by others. The question is in relation to my 360 with a solid roller. I ran brad penn 15w40 in it for about 2k miles...

Not a mopar but I thought you guys would be good to ask. I have a little nissan 180sx as a project car (have a 73 dart too so Im still a mopar guy :D) But wasnt too sure where to ask it. Right now its just a shell without a motor or transmission. The car is small, and only weighs about 2600...

Ive had my 360 together in my dart swinger for a while now and been driving it around all summer without a hiccup in the engine. It makes really good power and is nice and healthy so I have no problem. But ive been thinking that my intake manifold may not be completely correct for my engine...

I am about to grab some axle shafts to build my rear end for my dart but want to confirm that I can actually use the third member that I have. Its an early case from 1957 I believe, its a 741 case with 4.10 cone type sure grip. Would regular a body axle shafts work? I know that the cone type...

I'm wanting to start the swap over to an 8 3/4 pretty soon and want to start getting parts together. As it sits I have a stock housing, and the third member, I am also planning on swapping all the brake hardware and what not from my old 7 1/4. The parts I know I need are SS leaf springs, axle...

Recently my 360 has been having an issue at low Rpms. It idles fine at 1000, but it occasionally pops and surges when I quickly tap the gas. While cruising it hesitates and surges and it has also popped out the carb a few times up until about 2000rpms. Past that it runs just as strong as it ever...

I know it's not a mopar, but rust is rust and this is still a good place to ask about it. I picked up this 92 180sx the other day, and the plan was to fix it up and sell it, but I can also part it out (don't really want to though). The body is pretty much perfect besides this spot, no idea how...

I was driving my dart around today, this morning it was nice and sunny, the car ran perfectly, air fuel ratio on the gauge was where it always is. Then I got caught in some rain and it got pretty cold, was running good for a bit but then the air fuel started jumping around and leaning out, then...

I just picked up a third member today, really good price and it's in great shape (so I think anyways) spins real nice, and is nice and clean. 4.10 gears and a sure grip, come type I think as I can see the springs? My question is the case, I believe it's a 742 case, but I don't find the...

I dont really know if this is a problem or not but I though I would ask, especially since I am going to be starting up my new motor pretty soon and dont want a header leak to cause weird noises. The motor is a 360 with eddy heads and dougs headers. I bought and installed these remflex gaskets...

Just wondering what the torque specs are for arp torque converter bolts for a 904 are. I already used these bolts once and I don't have the instruction sheet anymore and it's not available online. I have the stock torque specs, but I know th arp spec is a bit more. The part number I have is...

Is the valve lash specified in a cam card cold or hot lash? I want to set the lash on my motor before I put it in next weekend. The cam is a lunati solid roller, and I have aluminum heads on my 360. For whatever reason it doesn't say cold or hot on the card, it just says 16 thou for intake and...

So I know that there are those that say a stock capacity oil pan and a HV oil pump can pump the pan dry when high rpms are used. But I was also told that this could never happen, so I dont know what to believe. Originally I had a moroso deep pan, and it was stupid to run on the street, it...

So i was mocking up my rocker gear on my 360 and was looking at the wear on the valve tips to check the geometry. I have an la 360, so it has a shaft rocker system, and I am running comp ultra pro magnum rocker arms. I noticed that the pattern is biased towards the exhaust. It looks closer...

I know what most are thinking from the title, but I am not talking about using the pump from a 100k mile motor. I am wondering about using the pump I had on my motor before. It has about 3000 miles on it so really has very little use, and worked perfectly when I had it running. The motor came...

Just wondering what you guys measured or would expect to see in regards to kb 107 pistons and eddy closed chamber heads on a 360. I am just measuring the PTV clearance to make sure I am good. I have a solid roller cam in it and I adjusted it to the proper lash. I just ordered pushrods so I...

Just a quick question, I'm installing my rings (sealed power e-251k30) and the top ring has a moly face. There is no dot or bevel on it, it looks the same either way. Can it be installed both ways? Or do I need a new set of rings?

I am getting ready to assemble my 360 and I honed the bores today. The motor had about 3000 miles on it (came out for something simple but just rebuilt it again). The bores are really nice, they just needed a light cleanup to get rid of the glaze for the new rings. The bores are .30 over. I...

I'm about to start assembling my motor and was wondering about the accuracy of the average click type torque wrench. Mine isn't that old, and hasn't been used too often. But I was curious about it's accuracy. I measured the length from the ratchet to the handle, and got a bucket of water...

So I am about to get ready to put my motor back together, and want to fix all the mistakes that I made the first time. One of those mistakes seems to have been a mistake when measuring the bearing clearance, I thought I did it right and that I had enough clearance, but I think it was a bit tight...

I am adding some power to my motor and adding some 3.91 gears to the rear of my 73 dart, and just started thinking about the transmission. The trans is a 999 with a low first and second gears. My old 360 had mid to high 300s for power, I really am just putting in a bigger cam (hydo flat tappet...

Not trying to create another "what is the best rocker arm' thread but today I figured out that I have a bit of an issue when I was looking for rocker arms for my 360. I used to have the stock springs that come with the edlebrock heads, as well a PRW aluminum rocker arms (do NOT recommend...

I've been wondering if it's a good idea to upgrade the ignition on my 73 dart. It'll have a 360 with some good parts in it, solid roller cam, aluminum heads etc. Before I was just running the stock electronic ignition that was in the car, as well as the stock distributor. It was running just...

After taking the motor out my dart and taking the battery tray off I noticed that over the years the battery acid really hasn't been to kind to the paint in the engine bay. It looks kinda bad in the pictures, but that is just surface rust after I washed it off, the metal is completely solid, the...

As I am about to get ready to put my 360 back together I just had the thought about how many times I can torque some of the bolts. Specifically the rod bolts, mains and head bolts. The head bolts are ARP bolts, and they have been torqued twice, the rod studs are ARP as well and have been...

I am looking at cams to put in my 360. I phoned comp and lunati and have some cam recommendations as well, so I am deciding between those two cams. But what about the lifters? Only reason that I am leaning towards the comp cam is because I can easily buy comp stuff locally, I would have to...
