I found an old thread. He used a "Wix wheel" to cut the cam. I dunno what a Wix wheel is. But I imagine a cut off wheel would do the trick. I might try it. What did you use? And you cut them on a 45* angle instead of just straight across?

What's the best/easiest way to Hone the bearings? I was thinking maybe Emory cloth by hand. But my hands are too big to reach inside the bearings from the bottom.

That's pretty much exactly what I was told, but neither the machine shop or my uncle who has built a bunch of big blocks seemed to want to hone the bearings. My uncle was helping me and he says they use the old cam so they can hit it with a brass punch and hammer on both sides of each journal...

They are already installed. But the cam won't turn by hand. Just got block back from machine shop. He was too busy to install the bearings. So I picked it up and did it myself. I really wish he would've installed them.

hi guys, I'm building my first big block. this is only the second time ive ever installed cam bearings. I used the proper tool and seen it done many times. however this is my first big block. I was told to use the old cam to "square" the bearings because big block mopars are notorious for...

I'm doing efi with tank and pump from tanksinc.com. I'll be using a corvette filter/regulator combo. Question is: where should I mount the filter? Close to the engine like a corvette? I'm assuming they do this to limit pressure drop to the fuel rail. Or do I mount it near the tank? Would/could...

I think you could just swap the pins in the ECM connector to match the new firing order.

ok im diving into the wiring and I thought I had a harness from a 96 I was wrong. I found the part number of the harness and ecm and called guy I know at dodge dealer. they are both from a 2000 Durango. however im missing the grey connector on the ecm. the grey connector and fuse box are both...

I figured out the belt. I took of the idler pulley and using the truck non ac belt it fits. I started looking at the wiring and apparently I'm missing C3 on the ecm and I have the wrong fuse box. Now I'm scratching my head as to what to do. I don't hang to spend $900 on a hot wire harness...

I grabbed a van ps bracket at the bone yard. Now I can't find a belt. I figured a van belt without account would work but it's too short. So maybe 1 of the truck pillegal is a different diameter. Looks like I'll be making a few trips to the auto parts. Then I have to address the ps pressure...

Thanks That's good to know. What is eveyone doing for power steering. I'm using the Magnum accesories and the pump and bracket are hitting the battery tray.

It's been awhile but we are finally making some progress. I was looking at the wire harness and we are having issues with dad's dakota, the engine shuts off when the oil pressure gauge drops. So I was wondering does the ECM get a signal from oil pressure switch. If it does I need to "t" it for...

BRAD PENN hands down worth every penny, no additive needed. the additive you buy doesn't mix with the oil in my experience. Valvoline VR1 racing oil is next best.

does anyone know where I could get a good stock oil pan for a 360 car. im doing a magnum swap and I prefer a new one and don't want to break the bank. Ive read that the summit racing ones don't fit good. thanks

could you guys post some engine bay pics to give me an idea of where everyone is mounting the ecm and fuse box.

further info I have obtained is, my engine harness and ecm are from a 96. I went to the bone yard and got the fuse box from 96 Dakota. I was reading the I have to "sync" the distributor with a scanner. is this necessary? if so how would I go about doing it without a obd2 connector?

i have a rear seat bottom from a 70 dart custom and a seat back from a 70 valiant/duster. I bought legendary covers for the duster and they do not fit the dart bottom. well I don't think they will fit. I know you have to heat them up in the sun and they usually fit tightly, but im about 6-8"...

Is the block any stronger than a regular 340? I wasn't planning on using anything from it except maybe the crank and rods. Its been sitting for couple years and has surface rested now. I only paid $50 for it. And it came with a new engine stand.

Has anyone used a boat motor before? I picked up a 73 date coded 340 couple years ago. Standard bore and could see crosshatch in cylinder wall with no ridge. Also believe it has a steel crank. The heads, oil pan, intake, and timing cover were all boat specific. So I can't use them.

I trailered mine to exhaust shop, pushed it on their lift, pushed it back on trailer. Done this 2 different times. First shop didn't like it the other didn't care long as he got paid. We have a decent shop here in lakeland. The owner builds street rods and he fabricates a lot of cool stuff.

thanks for the info guys. I need to go to my uncles and pick up the harness. right now Im going through the engine and found 2 cracked heads.

ive been reading alot lately. my dad want efi with his magnum swap. we have the ecm and harness out of an 01 ram. ive read that obd2 requires a bcm to run. is this true? what exactly is the bcm? is it the fuse box under the hood? will i need to run any wires inside the car? what fuel pump will...

hi guys, thanks for having me. Ive look on this forum numerous times for tips and to check out some builds. my dad is mopar all the way he has had 70 roadrunner 383, couple furys, 78 aspen rt, 82 Mirada, very rust 70 charger rt that never got started on, anyways he got a 70 duster with the 198...
