Finally parting with my project I haven't been able to work on for three years. Started as a slant six car, green with white vinyl top. Converted to 360 with schumacher mounts. TCI streetfighter 727 trans with stock converter, 8.25 rear with posi unit installed. 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust with...

1973 Dart Swinger 360 w/727

I was looking at the Thumper retrofit hyd roller cams but I'm not sure if they work with a factory setup.

Are there any good cams available for late LA 360 hyd rollers or should I convert it back to flat tappet. It will be primarily street driven in a 73 dart, 3200 stall 727 with 3.23 geared sure grip. It is a 1987 360 out of a van.

I have 2 of the 15 x 7 turbine wheels from mid seventies cordobas and chargers and I am looking for 2 center caps for them. Anybody have any leads or maybe someone is looking for 2 rims? Let me know.

I thought it was that at first but it is under the valve covers. I have another set of iron rockers I'm going to clean up and try this weekend.

I have factory style ductile iron rocker arms with banana groove shafts on my 360. I have this annoying valve tick that I can't adjust out. I'm adjusting the arms with each lobe on it's base circle. I started with 0 lash, then 1/8 turn, 1/4 turn and now 1/2 turn after zero lash and I still get...

The change in the diesel oils is based on the mandatory low sulfur diesel fuel now available. Supposed to be cleaner burning and lower soot emissions. Diesels are also evolving to an OBD2 type of engine management control that will allow then to be emission tested like 96 and newer cars, no...

I had a bunch of Canadian dollars left over fom my Toronto trip that I needed to exchange. So I went to the currency exchange window at the bank. Short line. Just one guy in front of me...an Asian guy who was trying to exchange yen for dollars and he was a little irritated.... He asked...

I can vouch so far for the 8 1/4 holding up and I can see while a properly built 904 woun't hold up. There are small block 727's around even cores are sold on ebay "as is". I would check to see Schumaker makes mounts for the conversion from /6 if you can't find a k member. I used them on my /6...

A woman had a parrot that she took with her everywhere she went. She would even take the parrot to the club with her when she went dancing and drinking on Saturday nights. Whenever the woman went onto the dance floor, the parrot would yell, "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we don't...

In a recent news broadcast, it was announced that Lorena Bobbitt's sister Louella was arrested for an alleged attempt to perform the same act on her husband as her famous sister had done several years ago. Sources reveal the sister was not as accurate as Lorena. She allegedly missed...

You need a neutral balanced converter. Some torque converters, 72-73 cast crank 340's and most 360's are externally balanced by the weights on the torque converter and harmonic balancer. Your B&M flexplate replaces the need for the properly weighted converter, so you can use just about any...

I used the Jegs version which might be the same. I bought the pipes only for 169.00 and 2 hooker aero chamber mufflers. Just minor trimming with an exhaust pipe cutter to get them right. In the end they hang high and and sound great, not too much interior noise either. I'd recommend them. Don't...

My sealing problems were solved by using Percy's dead soft aluminum header gaskets. Jeg's number 760-66037. They won't burn out and are reusable. Don't overtighten either. I overkill by using a 3/8 torque wrench to tighter mine between 20 and 25 lbs. If both surfaces are flat you should have no...

No actually this started with me wanting to make this engine more pump gas friendly rather than a race engine since I currently don't have time to race. I was going to change pistons and rebalance the bottom end to lower compression. I wanted to know which piston would better suit my needs, flat...

I have a set on my dart and I feel they work well. They are stiffer than stock and the rear of the car sat exactly where I wanted it to be.

Actually thickening the head gasket will solve the problem. However the .020 needed will have to be done by head shim and not by gasket alone. Thanks for the info. I''ll let you know if it works.

My question is does anyone make aftermarket axles for an 8 1/4? I have one in my dart that I upgraded to 3.73 and a sure grip. I have no complaints so far. Check your widths too when looking. I originally got one out of a dakota but it was too wide. All I ended up with was the 3.73 gears...

Thanks for the info, I'll play with the calculator to see what I get.

I've given that some thought but I'm at.039 compressed, the change to thicker is not really going to drop it to the pump gas friendly range. It knocks on pump gas unless I really retard timing then I kill performance. Thicker head gasket and smaller cam would improve drivability where a piston...

I used factory rockers and shorter pushrods, length depends on hyd or solid lifters. stock length 7.500, adj w/hyd 7.234, adj w/solid 7.1**( I can't remember exactly right now) adjust lash on cam base circle for best results I also used rocker shaft shims from mancini racing ($30.00)to correct...

574 casting ported with MP P4876412 template kit.

I'm changing pistons in 360. This engine has KB191 's installed already which are 12:1. Since I'm not planning on racing this engine now and driving it on the street, and it requires at least 98 octane to run properly, I'm changing to KB107 which is a flat top or KB373 which is a flat top with a...
