BTW We went to .040 over. Decked the block to .012 in the hole. Moly file fit rings.

There is a “myth” out there that early 360 blocks had thicker wall blocks. I confirm that my 1970 360 block was sonic checked and my engine builder stated he could bore up to 0100 oversized.

E58 360 prior to 1979 would have 340 automatic cam, windage tray, double roller timing chain, upgraded valve springs, Thermoquad carb. Piston compression was highly debated as what was stock. We added KB107 pistons, peened and polished resized rods, zero balanced, high volume oil pump, ARP...

Borrowing info from AllPar

Using a Lares 16:1 aluminum steering box. Weighs 14 pounds. Power steering it replaces was 46 as I recall.

Motor is an E58 spec build. Did not have the correct intake so opted to port match a Edelbrock Performer. Carb is a late 70’s Thermoquad borrowed from a 400.

Heartache just showed up with the car from his garage. My turn to finish the wiring.

Considering your pictures, shaft rockers, and the presence of the smog holes, these are likely desirable LA heads. You likely have the closed chamber vs. the open chamber. In the early 90's, just before Dodge went to Magnum, you had crossover years. late 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, some 93 360 were...

Torsion Bars: This choice in torsion bar is for track only. We went with a 1.200 bar on advice from Sway-a-Way.

Rear Springs: Worked with Landrum Spring. 20-231 SPA, 5” arch, 200 pound multi leaf. Medium weight asphalt spring. Front eye is Landrum installed rubber, rear is PST polyurethane. Car is 3100 pounds with a 52-48% split front to rear.

Stiffening the car: For any A or B body, I highly recommend adding subframe connectors. Prepped the car by removing all interior, all items from trunk, drivetrain in place. Supported the car at the tires and leveled to zero bubble. Prefit the connectors to 1/16 or less gaps and marked the...

Don’t you want the front tires to lock up before the rears. Having the rear of the car slowing more than the front will make the car want to spin. Normally yes, for a street car. This thread is how we set up our car for road racing. Although most of the hardware and set-up can work for...

Brake mods: the don’ts our brake mods were not without headaches. We originally used our 11 year old 7/8 brake master with a generic proportion valve. Started going away after one race. Had to drill out the firewall to go with the two hole mount from a four hole. This included making a...

Subject: Brake Mods Shifting from drums to disc, we had to upgrade our master cylinder, proportioning valve and brake lines. Speedway order gave us: Brake lines were locally sourced based on placement and fittings. Part # 91031321 GM/Corvette Cast Iron Master Cylinder, 1 Inch Bore Part #...

Subject: Brake Mods Before I start with the rear brakes, note that we have an 8.8 Ford Explorer rear axle. Perches were cutoff and new perches welded in OEM Mopar position. 1997 8.8 rear axle. 3.73 limited slip. Original style calipers 10” solid rotors “Yellow” EBC brake pads. Shields removed.

Subject: Brake Mods For the front brakes, we ditched the original 10” drums on all four corners. Changed spindles to 73 up Duster. Going with 10-3/4 rotors. Running 73 up slider calipers. Running “yellow” EBC brake pads. Removed original shields. Shields replaced with modified brake...

Any way about it, someone wants to see what we are about. For the "drag racing rules!" group, we still love ya. From reading comments and questions, I will need to have two threads running. One to cover the team, another to cover the technical aspects. I will start by setting ground rules...

Afternoon Gents, My team, Gorilla Greasers, has been running in the 24 Hours of Lemons series for the last two years. We are not really allowed to run any other series, "too old to be competitive". Any interest from the die hard Mopar group on posting about our season? Cast your vote in the...

It has been established there are some dry and wet head bolts. Most are recommending thread tape on the wet holes. For years, I have had very good success with Harvey Seal. Harvey™ HarveySeal is a multi-purpose, yellow thread compound that is non-hardening and non-separating. It works with...

H Monster, if I was in Missouri, I would help you out. From Joplin, MO area originally. Here is my 2 cents. Starts up OK-Check Runs for a little bit well-Check Starts misfiring after short warm up drive-Check Sounds like your condenser is breaking down. If it is points that is. Had this...

Thank you. Looks like I need to buy a new windshield.

I have been unable to find the differences between the windshield of a 72 Duster and a 4-Door Valiant. Any help is appreciated. Have a 4-Door Valiant and a Duster windshield, the rubber moldings have different part numbers. What is the real difference?

Try to change your caster angle to +1-1/2 degrees, 1/8" toe in. Helps in feel but only marginally. The power steering on all Mopar is "feels too soft" vs "firm feel". Most of us have experienced it. MA Mopar never thought it was a problem. "feels like if I make a quick movement left or...

Have one available from a 72 3 speed duster, column shift, in the garage. End of harness was cut however. PM me if interested.

Send me a PM with the address. Will put in the mail on Monday. Last package I sent was $5. Anything beyond that is appreciated.

Like this? Even have install sleeves.

Check first to see if the wires power up. Hate to see someone go through the trouble to find lenses to find out the circuit is not hooked up.

I have a few sets from other builds. Willing to pay the post?
