Thanks I appreciate it. I should be getting the heads back from the machine shop this week. I'll let you know as I may need shorter pushrods, as there has been a lot of changes from the factory setup. Like older style (1974) heads, the rocker spring seats have been machined (I believe .020) and...

Ok that makes sense. I'll have a look see.

Thank you, and yes I was referring to the pushrod where it dead ends to the rocker. I'm curious what the reasoning is for drilled pushrods if the motor still has oil galleys for rocker shaft oiling. That's why I thought there may be an oil pressure drop, with 16 new pathways for oil to leak . I...

Thanks. I've had the pushrod holes enlarged. Hopefully it'll be enough to provide clearance

More Information for MELLING MPR381 I need to buy new pushrods as I have lost the original ones from my 1990/91 360 I am putting a set of 1974 360 heads on it. The block has the oil galleys for the rocker shaft. But these push rods are drilled. I have a few thoughts running through the old...

I dropped mine off with block heads and crank and I'm at about 3,700 right now completely ridiculous. Line hone, oversize, deck, crank, and rods resized, new exhaust valve seats, heads milled, heads machine for new rocker springs and valve stem seals probably more than I've forgotten.

If the budget was unlimited, for sure. I'm already way over budget in the damn machining!

Yeah sounds like the heavy stock 4bbl will be my best option

It's going into my Ramcharger. 3.55 gears 30" tires. Will be used as a daily driver. So it'll rarely see 5000rpm

I'm building a 360 small block with 8.7 CR a 224 @ .050 duration with a 500 lift and magnum exhaust manifolds. I have two intakes a factory 4bbl (1974) or an edelbrock torker. I like the idea of the weight savings of the torker. But what say you guys/gals?

Funny thing I was on the ram website the other day building a 2500. One of the options was plastic wheel well liners. Im not sure if they covered the wheel wells or what but I believe the price was around $100 seems like a no brainer to me

Yeah my car will not going to be a perfect resto. I definitely think the plastic ones were a good idea. It'd be nice if they were available

I've always seen/heard them called splash shields.

The metal splash shields. Mine are in very rough condition. I won't be home till tomorrow so no pictures till then.

It just bolted right on? No fabricating or what not,? I can't see how a 69 valiant would be any different than a 68 Barracuda

I never new there was a difference between the Plymouth's and Dodges.

Yes, the ones behind the wheel. Hoping they'd work for a 68 Barracuda. At least plastic won't rust

I've been searching for cheap splash guards for my 68 Barracuda. I found someone locally that has plastic ones. Has anyone ever put them on older a bodies? Are they useable for a 68? Thanks

Thanks a lot. Lots of great information.

I believe the intake port opening is smaller due to the larger pushrod holes

So drilling the holes shouldn't cause an issue with any intrusion into the intake ports?

Hi. This is a late reply. But I am basically running the exact same block and heads (well my block is an 89). I have my heads at the machine shop right now, and am trying to figure out my best move before I pick them up. This thread is very useful for sure, as I think a lot more people will be...

Hmm interesting. My RC does have tilt.

I posted the same question on Ramcharger Central. I was thinking I had somehow forgotten this when I was disassembling the Barracuda. But I guess it was only a truck thing. Oh, and Junkyard hero. Great idea, I'll incorporate that into my next set of wrenches! :lol:

Yeah 81 Ramcharger. I couldn't remember if I removed similar bolts when I took my Barracuda apart. Were they used universally on dodges back then?

Oh yeah? I guess I got something new to ask the Google machine.

Good morning. Can some tell me what these bolts are called they are on steering column under the hood? Thank you

I gave them a call but they didn't have any cores, I recycled mine years back. I'm assuming I'd need a cam from a roller LA. I'll be keeping my eye out for some. My local pick and pull has a bunch of magnum engines. Oldest being 1998. 1998 seems like it was yesterday.

Lucky for me that camshaft wasn't able to ship till early March. So I cancelled the order. But I'm curious, how would you go about determining the correct installed height, for a given camshaft? The lift of that cam, had me a little nervous. Now I'm considering something lot less tame...

Thanks. I've never thought much about a springs coil bind before. But with a lift of .535 I figured I'd look into a springs specs a little deeper. This Comp cam seems to have an interesting profile. Such a high lift with the duration, and it's advertised working range which is 1400-to 5500 rpm.
