I will be picking up a vacuum gauge ASAP, and i would have included more details if i had them sorry, I ended up buying this rolling block from a well known mopar guy in the area to get the car on the road this summer while i spend time building a 360 how i want, all he knew is it had an...

Im so close to getting my 67 barracuda back on the road after six years sitting, but im struggling with the carb now. My setup is a .030 over 360, rv cam, strip dominator intake, rebuilt 3310 holley 750, headers, full msd with plugs gapped .045. The msd manual says .065, tried it, ran terrible...

That's true, I raised the motor with a Jack to see about using spacers under the motor mounts and raising it made the tube by the outer steering tube come in a little more contact. What if I bolted everything up tight, then put a Jack under the flange at the bottom of the headers and massaged it...

My set up is a 360 with Doug's headers, I will be building a 2.5" x pipe system , and I'm kicking around doing some cut outs in the system, I'm not looking for the actual y pipes included because I'm a fabricator and will make my own but I'm looking for the actuator assembly, I've seen some that...

So I just swapped a 360 into my 67 barracuda, running dougs headers, had to indent them to clear the outer steering tube, and now I'm having a problem with the lower steering assembly. It's a manual steering car and when I turn the wheel to the right the assembly is nice and tight and no flex...

i used edelbrock 1406 with rpm intake and isky rv cam on stock rebuilt 318 setup ran great, good throttle response through the whole range

Thanks guys I'll take a look at that today, with that collar slid up the headers will clear the steering rod though just barely, but I don't even have the gaskets on yet so maybe it wont :/

Been working a lot, but making a serious push to get this thing done. Car had a 318, and I'm swapping over to a semi built 360, not as bolt in as I thought! Ran into a couple small issues, the 360 motor mounts I had were way too tall, so I ended up modifying my 318 brackets to fit (bottom...

I'm not sure of the current springs, but they were set up for an isky rv cam. I am shopping for the springs to make the new cam work but no exactly sure wich ones I need, I've found .500's? I'm also going to go for an airgap intake and I'm thinking a stall convterter would be a good idea, carb...

I am running 3.55's with a built 727 manual valve body shift and stock converter at the moment, was thinking of going for a 2500. But by all means if there is a cam you can reccomend that will fit the build perfectly I'm definitely not opposed to getting another one, it's just what came with the...

I had a smaller isky cam before with the performer and 600cfm eddy carb that worked fine. I have an older buddy helping me out with the build who has done a few engines, and he was thinking the springs were the problem but ill mention that to him. that was just his thoughts. ill be mainly...

Another amateur build thread, i know lol. After 6 long years of neglecting my 67 fastback I finally have the shop space and time for her. hoping to have it on the road by april. I didn't have the time and money to get it set up properly back then so I just tried to get it together in a hurry...

Last time everyone was very helpfull in getting my 318 together for my 67 barracuda, now i wanna start over. I have a 360 interceptor block an j heads, beefed 727, 318 to rob parts from, a machinist, and an ok budget. I want to build around a 408 steel crank, this is only my second engine build...

lmao!

No the guy told me he was just telling me what he was told about the this engine before he bought it. I bought this supposed rebuilt engine to save some time because i had a deadline to reach at the time. i took the other engine out and dismantled it, then ended up buying this engine with roller...

wow. update, valves are fine, rings are shot! dude lied through his @$$. im gonna call and chew him out and figure out what to do. now im back to square one after wasting lots of time and money! i know where he lives :)

i never said i wasnt going to... i was gonna check the compression to see if there was issues with that first with the slight optimistic chance that there was no issues, this project has become unbeleivably frustrating to me, please dont start up with the "i told you so's". I dont even have...

$%#&! 60 compression all around...heads coming back off

ya i'll start with the compression test, just started workin full time so time is a little more limited to work on her :/. so its really soundin like this cam isnt worth messin with can anyone reccomend one that will do really well with my setup?? not hard to replace so think im gonna do that if...

ya by funky i meant its not wanting to idle, or stay in low rpms, thats why im thinkin its just the carb. keep it above 2000 rpm and she runs beautifully

i dont know how it went in wrong, i didnt getta see it when it was apart cuz i was at work :/

well guys decided to do the better safe than sorry attitude, water pump and timing cover came off.....&%$#@ he put the cam in wrong. haha, i had work this morning so he put it back in and put it back together for me and the thing started immediatly! only thing to still do is work on the carb...

so most of you agree empty the lifters an put in the new rods and i should be ok? and about the cam, its what came with the block and rolling assembly, im hoping its not as horrible as you guys are saying. lol, im running nonported 340 heads with 9.5:1 dual dish forged pistons .040 over. will it...

ok looks like i made a rookie mistake. didnt empty the lifters so all of em were topped out when i put em in :/. just got my new pushrods and im emptying the lifters now

lmao. thats awesome. ok so just for kicks i took two straight rods, and put them back in cyliner 1, and turned it over a couple times by hand, and the cylinder built up its compression, the valves opened right, and best of all it didnt bend the rods. i mean if they were gonna bend still wouldnt...

yea and unbent one is 7.5 exactly

ok i just talked with the guy i built the engine with about it and i remember what the dots are are your talking about, i was there and positive when he put the gears on the dots were together just like it showed in the book. when putting on the rockers we went by the book which just said torque...

im not sure about pushrod length actually, they were just the rods that were used with the cam before this one, it had 435 lift, and this one has 474, think thats enough to do it? im leaning more towards the lifters not being pumped because some of these things were bent a loot more, so maybe...

ok just to check are you saying that if the lifters didnt have enough oil in them that that could be why the rods bent? and now that the engine has had oil pumped all through it, its now fine and just needs the new push rods to work? i wasnt there for the installation of the cam, lifters and...

um im really not sure what ya mean, like i said im just kind of learning about engine building :/
