    Here's a pic of the cam card, also bumping comp up to ~9.5:1 range but still pump gas compatible! Hope to get this thing in the 400hp range with comparable torque and solid in the 12's and still a reliable street car.

    So quick update, the old LA 360 decided it was done in August, so picked up a nice 5.9 Magnum and decided to go that route! Block and crank just back from hot tank and polish respectively. Bottom end going back together now! This Magnum will be std bore, stock rotating assembly since everything...

    Another pic, tough to get an x-pipe tucked up and not hanging too low sometimes but I think it turned out nice!

    Been awhile since I updated some stuff, so figured I'd post this recent update. Finally ditched the old crush bent dual junk system and Flowmasters for a nice mandrel bent X-pipe system and stainless Magnaflows. All 2.5" and dumped before the axle due to having the springs moved in. Credit to...

    Scored a couple nice parts at the Red Barns show! A nice lift off 6-Pack hood and factory 22" shroud! Laid it on top of the stocker for the pic, paints close but not exact. May repaint black or have it color matched. Undecided, either way I'm psyched. It's a US Body Source hood. Real nice...

    Currently in wiring hell...but as I started to wire in the HEI it got worse and worse as I peeled off tape. Spliced and diced up mess! So new engine harness and bulkhead connector from Bill Evans was on order ASAP. Old cobbled harness on bottom, new one on top. Now I can cleanly wire in the HEI...

    YY1 - Sorry for the late reply haven't checked in on this thread in awhile! I just use a regular box end wrench to tighten up header bolts. They are a little bit of a pain but easier to get at than TTI's in my opinion! You can also take a belt grinder to and old one and grind it down thinner so...

    After having idle cooling issues I finally got around to installing a new clutch fan set-up. Got the fan and clutch from the parts stores for a total of $50. Works like a champ and is WAY more stable at idle and stop/go traffic. Also stays right at 180 cruising. Yes, a shroud is still in the...

    71 Scamper - No, it's a "Street Demon" newish carb. It's the 625cfm version that came out first. I'm about to replace it with the 750cfm version however. New built 360 wants more fuel forsure... Six225 - Thanks!

    Heck yes! Thanks for the pic post Andre! Today Andre fabbed up and welded in about an 8" section of pipe to connect my exhaust up to the new Doug's headers! Word of advice to those out there....if you switch from TTI to Doug's your exhaust will not bolt right back up without a little work! But...

Found another LA 360 locally that was supposed to be a hot street engine. Well finally it happened...all the gory details below...
