Leo- the pushrods where Smith brothers checked and ordered by the builder. The rockers just had issues even when the shop measured them, but I tend to be the lucky SOB who'd get the one lemon in a 1000.

On a side note watch those racer brown rocker shafts I had issues with mine. The teflon bushing's galled and melted I was told it was a known issue and was sent aluminum ones. Never could get rid of my lifter noise when I built the 340 I went to use them but the engine shop said the geometry...

Nothing wrong with doing a 318, its different. Lotsa fast 360's but it has that cool factor when its been done with less cubes. But I heard those build-ups wern't done with long life in mind. If you wanna make a 318 go fast I'd talk to Don at FBO Systems. His Barracuda runs a 318 in the 11's...

Ok last question about head bolt torque, the book sounds like they want a dry torque of 90ft lbs. Is that still best or do you guys like to see the bolts lubed?

I see he never did get back to you but I've looked at a bunch of gaskets like you did all of them blocked, the part number is correct too and I was told by another chysler guy the same thing. Its a water circulation thing. So guess it goes together and no worries....

Wow not sure if I feel mpre at ease about blocking it or not -LOL- I sorta figured to might be to slow the coolant's movement a little because everything else lines up. To bad I tossed the old head gaskets :roll:

Ok went to put my heads back on and the felpro gaskets I have pn#1008 dont seem to fit. All the holes line up EXCEPT a coolant passage on the front upper corner on each side of the block, it matches a passage in the head that mates up with a passage from the front of the intake. Is this...

Build it! Will it ever be a v-8 no can you make it run like a good small block sure. It'll cost a few bucks but I've seen a few slants done up and they look cool because its different! Seen one a guy had fuel injected it and had a supercharger of a 3.8 thunderbird plumbed on. Looked very...

That barrel sounds like its getting full Don, I think you need to put a label on it. "Chevy Speed Parts" Might make a buck or two.

Well they had DC instructions but there the blue anodized ones jsut say Mopar. Brand new in the box still. I just couldnt find and cool Direct Connection stuff. I shoulod be up after christmas to drop those seats off and bring that column up too

Those look like they'll do the trick thanks

Just got a set of mopar blue anodized valve covers, little disapointed they have no baffles. Anyone have a good fix for them? kinda tough to weld anything in.

Yeah it'll be up on all fours come the end of the month, Garageless so she sits under a cover in the driveway all winter. Its fun even though I can cruise from one end of town to the other in 15 minutes, it looks and sounds mean so gets a lot of looks. Helps beign the only Duster in town and a...

Alright, It'll have to wait untill spring then, I wont have insurance on the car come the end of the month. But I'll still pull the column if you can get time to do the job. I have another freebie from Napa if it dies I'll get a mopar one, jsut either need a number or to get it from the city...

Well put a master gauge on the car today, 70psi@idle cold drops to 60psi hot at idle and jumps to 75psi area with a nice 3000rpm throttle burp. So All good in my books, the sendign unit is rated to 100psi. Got another for warrenty and so far so good. i fit dies again I'll jsut get my cash...

Well I replaced the pump when I replaced the oilpan. I jsut put a stock pump on the car with the new mopar pickup that comes with the sending unit. I haven;t put a master gauge on the car, can use one from work though. The pressure on the gauge when it works reads right up the middle...

Not sure why but my car eats oil pressure sending units. All came from a local Autoparts store -3 of them- Thign is I'm only running a stock pump. First 2 I am assumeing the diaphram bust as they read no pressure -on a rallye cluster- the latest ALWAYS reads good pressure. I have plans on...
