I'm doing a similar build. 69 valiant with a 360 magnum, eq heads, roller cam. I think my cam is going to be milder than yours and I'm going 3.23 gears. The car only weighs about 2800lbs so I don't think its gonna take a bunch of ponies to make it go. I'm guessing you could be in the 12...

I go 80 mph legally in my big rig on i15 in utah

Great thread!!

Wow! Looks great! I got a 69 I'm working on. Yanking the worn out 318 for a 360 magnum. Was thinking of black wheels like you got and same hood. Mines gold. Thinking gold and black would look pretty cool

Finally made a decision. Went with a bare set of eq heads. From what I have read the intake port is a bit smaller than the rhs. Plus I wanted the LA style intake. Hopefully my sister is going to be nearby IMM engines shop. If so she is going to drop them if. If not when I get home I'm going...

Thanks everybody. Imm engines isn't far from me which I feel also has a lot of value.

Sorry, wasn't thinking should of put it in the magnum section. Roller block and stock pistons. Appreciate the input

After a lot of thinking and the future use of my car is going to hopefully wind up daily. As I'm lookimg for a local gig driving a truck. I'm currently over the road and rarely home. So I wish to select a combination that is driver friendly. Driver friendly with a 360 I'm thinking is about...

Yeah, I more than likely will be going eq instead because of that and being able to use an LA style intake. They are 700 bucks for them complete from Midwest. I think that's the name of it. There in las Vegas and are a distributer only. They don't do work on anything they tell me. Bare or...

I have had the pleasure of driving a iroc camaro with AFR heads. Been on the car out of the box for years without problems. If they were offered for the Mopar I would of already bought them.

Its like an agenda against edelbrock on the boards it seems. But then once in a while somebody comes on who has actually used them and has something positive to say. I have been research for parts for some time. Im not sure what heads I'm going to wind up with. For me it doesn't matter much I...

Yeah it is! That's interesting. My duramax gets from 20 to 23 on the freeway. Combined 16 to 17 empty. I have heard the dodge Cummins gets around 26 freeway. But that's here say. The Cherokee is a lot smaller I think. Or atleast my sisters is its an 06 i think. I can barely fit in it. I hate it...

Well then if it was me I would buy an older Cummins powered one. What the heck is a VM motori diesel? Lol. I have a duramax and it has proven to be great. 200,000 and all I have done is change the battery's, serpentine belt, and fluids. So maybe the motori engine is good to. Its just knowing...

I have an 05 duramax and there is a difference in mileage dependent upon conditions. City driving versus freeway. Speed and weight hauled. I drive a big rig for a living and the same always applys. Weight being a huge factor. Of course were talking up to 80,000 loaded. The idea of loaded...

Its a 5.9. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for sharing! I'm pretty excited about getting my valiant going. I never see any others on the road. Found some disc brake conversion kits. And suspension upgrade kits. Thinking of doing one of those after I get the engine done. I got to eventually do something with my rear end. So not...

Are you saying don't put new rings and bearings in it? And thanks on the advice!

I did a little more research on cylinder walls. Got some good pictures of what it is and looks like. My cylinder walls are pretty darn good from what I can tell. I can clearly see crosshatching from just below where the pistons come up to.

Got my magnum engine stripped down. Its got a 120,000 miles on it. From what I can tell the cylinder walls loom good. But any info on what I should be looking for please let me know. Going to put new rings and bearings in it next time I have a chance to work on it. The pistons have a 4...

Thanks for the info. Thinking of spending the extra money to go a little wilder. But I may change my mind.

Sure grip. Thanks for the correction!

I got a 904 trans so the converter won't work for me. Interested in the rear. 8.75? Positraction or whatever Mopar calls it?

About 20 years ago I had the comp magnum 280 can in a 327 Chevy. Idle wasn't to bad. Sounded healthy though. Had great power from 2000 to 6500 or so from what I can remember. Took off hard and pulled all the way through. More bottom end than the stock can by a long shot. And way more top end...

Thanks for the link and about reringing it.

After reading that I'm thinking I may want to put new rings and bearings in the short block just in case. Thanks but I'm going carburetor. Car won't get driven enough to worry about mpg much.

Got a magnum out of a wrecked truck. 120,000 miles on it. Was originally thinking of heads, can, intake change. Now I'm wondering why not use the original heads. I saw where the engine came from. Truck wrecked and is now junk. Engine was obviously in running condition. I'm not saying I shouldn't...

Thanks for the info! And about the magnum section. Didn't even realize. Lol

Just picked up a magnum 360 out of a wrecked truck with 120,000 miles. Making a little headway. Now time to figure out what to do with it. Heads, cam, intake? The rear end is the weak one. So another rear end is in order. The car will get driven about two days a month. Looking to take it to...

Been checking Craig's list for the past month or so and the wrecking yards. Well today the wrecking yard near by has a magnum engine. If I get back in town before its gone I'm going to look at it. The magnum engine is top on my list cause of the roller camshaft and lifters. If I could find one...

I looked at your thread on your car. Mines the same gold. Lol. Great build, and the red looks great!
