Hey thank you! I'm trying to kill 2 birds with one stone as I'm going to build and replace the LA 360 I currently have in the car. I appreciate your time!

I understand that I'm looking for the 46RH version of the A518, just wondering if there's a year they came along with a Magnum 360?

Just reaching out to see if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm wondering if there's an optimum year from the early Magnum blocks that already came with an A518? I'm trying to find the A518 before it required the computer chip, possibly a 93? Not even sure if there was such a...

Hey thanks for your time tonight! I'm sure I'll run across you soon on here... have a good one

Thanks I'll do that! I was just looking and couldn't find anything higher than 3:54 gearing for it, but maybe he'll have an answer or suggestion.

I think you've solidified my decision on the Dana rear end! Keep in mind I'm prone to moronic questions from time to time, but I noticed just glancing in my year one catalog they weren't offering the 3:23's with the Dana. Is that only because most guys are generally building for more get off and...

I'm not sure if you looked at the build attachment I posted earlier in this thread? I'm just curious to get your thoughts on it and how it would work with the beefed up 904 and the Dana 60 with 3:23's? I have my LA block, but everything points to easier horsepower with the Magnum blocks. We've...

Thanks for your time jpar, I've read hundreds of your post on numerous topics and while I'm no expert, it's obvious that you're one of the more knowledgeable active members on this site. Honestly, all I've been doing since I got the car back in February is reading and more reading. Partly...

If I searched for an early Magnum 360 block between 93'-95' would I be able to find one already married to an A500 tranny with overdrive? Just wondering if someone can help me narrow my search and possibly kill 2 birds with one stone... thanks!

Build A 500HP Capable 360 Magnum Short-Block On The Cheap! - Hot Rod Network. These guys at IMM are about an hour East from where I live and this build sounds about as good as I've found for what I'm looking for out of the car. The car was originally a slant 6 225, so I'm guessing there's not a...

Thanks for your advice! Yeah I've been reading and researching since posting the thread and all indications agree with you that the right 8 3/4 should easily handle the horsepower range I'm working in. Also seems like the 3.23 gearing will better suit my needs as I love driving on the freeway...

I'm still in the game planning stages (mostly because I'm broke lol) of beefing up my 71 Swinger and I've finally decided on an earlier Magnum block 360 that should make between 450-500hp when it's done. I'm trying to build everything right just one time and end up with a bullet proof street car...

Well here's a mind blower! I just came home from a small car show over in Yucaipa and ran across a Mopar guy from Rialto who knew of him and said that he was arrested in 2015 for an attempted bank robbery. I guess that explains the disappearance of his business....wow!

Just wondering if anyone in the SoCal area is familiar with Mayo Performance that was located on G St in Chino? If so, I'm wondering if he's still in business or possibly relocated? He was a Mopar guy that I used to take my cars to between 2007-2009 and after recently purchasing a 71 Swinger...

Thanks again to everyone for all the feedback! I had to take my but back to work this week so I probably won't get around to anything until the weekend but I definitely have plenty of ideas for things to look for. Hopefully someday I'll have a sliver of wisdom I can freely share with someone lol!

Thanks for your response, I finally did find some information last night that basically verified all the dates you mentioned. It's nice to be sure... have a good one

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure there's no reverse light.... hopefully I'll have a chance to check it out tomorrow

Okay I'll give it a shot. I bought a Chrysler transmission rebuild book and I have a Haynes, but I'm still working on getting an actual Dodge service manual. I'll do some reading before I touch anything... thanks for the heads up!

I've tried everything I can to find out exactly what year the la 360 is and I'm still not 100% sure. The numbers on the front of the block are reading left to right top to bottom are: 3K(or possibly an R) 360 868 007592 342 The numbers on the bottom passenger side are...

I posted a thread earlier this week regarding a starting problem and thanks to everyone's feedback I'm fairly certain it's the neutral safety switch because as soon as I move the column shift to neutral it fires right up! I found it when I was under the car today and I'm gonna have a helluva...

Thanks for the input! I took the advice of Dragonsteel and fandangled a plate today. I could feel some grit and grime already getting in there, so I feel better now lol! Thanks again for the feedback!

Thanks, I kinda figured that! Now I have to figure out how to locate the part. Thanks for your help

I was looking at the dust cover on my transmission and noticed this inspection hole? Looks like it was designed this way but was wondering if there's supposed to be a cover over this part?

Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and advice! I'm still amazed by this forum and it makes it so much easier for beginner mechanics like myself to have a clue for what to look for. I haven't had a chance to get to the car yet, but now I have a game plan when I do....

Well, I've got the wiring skills of a common housewife, but yup it sure is and a pretty shot out one at that! I just replaced the negative cable with a better one so I'll try swapping that one out too! The guy I bought the car from has a lot of "extra custom" type wiring going on all over the...

Thank you! I will try that next time it occurs and see what happens, I really appreciate your time!

Okay thanks, it's an LA360 in a 71 Dart Swinger with electronic ignition. It starts easily on most occasions, but it seems that after a moderate amount of driving it won't turn over at all, no loud clicking, only a really faint click can be heard. If I jump it at the starter relay it fires right...

I've been experiencing only occasional starting problems with my 71 Sorry I'm a rookie and I've been trying to figure what's causing the car to on occasion just do absolutely nothing when I go to turn it over. I tried starting cheap with a new starter relay and then changed the shot out negative...

I just joined FABO last week, and I'm amazed by the outpouring of experience and excellent information that has been so freely given! I'm actually having trouble keeping up and responding to everyone that has reached out to answer all my rookie questions..... thanks to all!!
