That answers it, thanks!

Toluene56, forgive my ignorance but, for your engine, you have a magnum block, roller lifters made for an LA Block, custom length oil thru pushrods for an LA valve train, LA shaft mount rockers and LA style heads?

Thanks for the info on the H-Beams, much appreciatedm I haven't heard of the align honing on the mains but,this is my first stroker motor. Anyone else run into that or similar experiences?

Well, after a compression test, 11 years and about 50,000 HARD miles, I am taking out my 360 and building a 408 stroker. I was looking at this kit and if anyone has any experience, I had a few questions. https://m.summitracing.com/parts/sca-1-98113bi To anyone that has experience building a...

I believe the correct way to describe it should be sucking it out thru pcv? The correct amount of oil is in the motor. I put in some home made baffles that basically were longer, and curved closer to the valve cover and so far so good. I drove the car 150 miles and no oil showing up on the valve...

Hey BigblockMopar, it is my understanding that your going to have a little bit of oil at the pcv valve and breather. But I guess I am not sure what is acceptable for a performance motor and what is not? How much oil did you find in your inline oil separator?

This issue has always existed with the car but I don't really drive it a lot so I never really cared to notice until I started driving it more (100 miles in a day) and then I was discovering a quarter to a half a quart was missing with no leaks under the car. I'm thinking that running that in...

No smoke of any kind out of the exhaust pipes. Just a little black smoke but I am certain that is from my carb being rich. I am running just a standard $3.00 stock 340 pcv valve that I got from the local parts store. Is there a different pcv valve I should be using since I dont have a stock 340...

What's up FABO, I would like to know what valve covers everyone is using on their 318/340/360? I have a 360 with x heads, stock rockers and MP black wrinkle valve covers with baffles on both ends. I have a breather on one side and a pcv valve on the other side and I am sucking out oil. I am...

Anyone have any experience with Howards cams and run ac or power brakes, power steering, and ac? I just sent howards cams a cam recommendation form for the hell of it.

Timing is 18* initial, yeah that's what I was thinking that the cam would give me better drivability for the overall package. I love the idle I have now but kinda am over it, and want a more street friendly driver. This is in an auto car, and I am converting it to more of a driver so I think I...

Wondering if anyone is using the hydraulic lunati 60403 cam as well as factory air conditioning or aftermarket air conditioning with it? I am planning on switching from my XE284 to this cam in my 360 to help with overall drivability, and have a better idle and vacuum for the air conditioning and...

I am thinking about buying the lifters and giving them a shot. It is a great cam but was considering a step down to gain a little easier idle and a little more low end vacuum and response. Sounds like they work and people are actually happy with them.

I haven't tried Rhoads lifters but have heard of them. Didn't know anyone here used them. I would consider that, has anyone used them and can say if they liked them or did what they were advertised to do? Would it make a difference in the amount of duration my cam has? 284/296 240/[email protected]. This...

I'm also considering a hydraulic roller due to not wanting to run specific oil or an additive with the oil. Also there's no strict break in period either.

Hey everybody, I am wanting to go a step down from my current cam which is the Comp XE284H. 284/296 .507/.511. I like the cam but it's just a little too radical for the stop and freeway driving I usually do. I was thinking about switching to a hydraulic roller such as this one by lunati...

Thanks again for the advice Fishy, so I got it going, sprayed the runners to check for vacuum leaks and no vacuum leaks and looks like my problem was in some crappy gas, not enough pump shot and needing to adjust the nut with the arm that rests on top of the pump cam. The motor really likes the...

So I purchased a rebuild kit for the carburetor and am going through it at the moment cleaning up everything the best I can. I am going to switch again from the 72/76 jets to the stock 76/83 jets and I am going to stick with the 4.5 power valve due to vacuum reading in gear at idle and leaving...

Yeah I cleaned out the bowls, metering plates, and main body with cleaner and air.

So I changed the gaskets while I was at it when I put the 72/76 jets back in and noticed a light brown tinge of debris in the metering blocks and fuel bowls. So with that discovery I am assuming water got in somehow or it is some crap gas that I had in there. Timing is at 18 degrees at idle and...

So I changed to the stock 76/83 jets and it runs like crap, it wont even hold an idle in gear no matter what we do, and a vacuum reading is about 10in of vacuum so my power valve is correct with a 4.5. With the jetting I switched it to before at least it ran great and held a better idle, it just...

Sorry for the delay, I am approaching my finals for school and just haven't had anytime to really check timing, vacuum, or play with the jetting. Hey Mike! Yeah, I kinda feel like I should just take apart a 4160 series 750 cfm holley I have in my closet and swap them, but I will at least swap...

So from a dead stop at WOT it takes off and from cruising and part throttle driving it is a lot better than before. Fuel pressure at idle is about 6-7 psi and I am using a Holley Red Electric Fuel pump with no regulator. At freeway speeds at 2800rpm if i floor it, there is a slight hesitation...

OldManRick, that this the correct carburetor that I do have, and when I first got it, I jetted it down from those specs but have lost the paper where I wrote down what jetting is in it, I want to say 72 primaries and 76's in the rear but not sure. I also sprayed it out with carb cleaner when I...

Yes, this is a vaccum secondary carburetor and I will check timing and engine vaccum in gear.

I will double check vaccum tomorrow but the cam has a lot of duration for an automatic so I know that it is not much. Also, at freeway speeds 65mph at 3000rpm if I floor it, it does a slight hesitation and then takes off as well. I just want to be able to floor it from part throttle and take off...

From a dead stop in drive or put in 1st there is no issue it seems that when this is going from part throttle to WOT quickly, if I ease into from part throttle to WOT there also is no issue. I can power brake it from a dead stop too with no problems. This issue was a problem always and not...

Hey everyone, I have a 10:1 compression 360 with an airgap manifold, tti headers, ported x heads, comp xe284 cam and a speed demon 750cfm carb that's having some sputtering issues between 1500-2000rpm when in drive at about 25mph. If its left in drive and I floor it at that rpm range it...

sorry i didnt get back to this i havent driven the car due to the problem and started it up today for a quick spin and checked the forum and already posted a question :) the timing is set at 16 degrees or 18 degrees i have to check again. The power valve is a 5.5 and i was getting about 10-12lb...

i thought my problem was fixed but now it is doing the same thing all over again. the car when i first start driving it is ok i can leave it in drive and it is fine it wont idle low or stall. but after i get off the freeway no matter how many times i park it and let it cool down it just will not...
