Done the old nylon rope through the spark plug hole before. Works really well.

Thanks "318willrun" for the real life feedback. Would you perform any mods to the 360 before it goes into the car? You said it should have 308 heads, is there a cam or specific size of cam that you think would work well? I've been following your low buck 318 build. Would you recommend the same...

Wow! These LA roller engines in stock form were that low on power? Looks like I'd be disappointed for sure unless I rebuild one of these with more performance in mind.

Ok, so by going with the 360, can anyone suggest a nice roller cam? Or would sending the factory 360 cam to hughes for them to grind be the way to go? Thanks again

Found 2 engines to potentially swap into my 73 Swinger. Old guy wants $300 bucks for either one. Both engines are in vans. First engine is an '89 TBI 318 while the other is a 1992 TBI 360. Both are similar mileage and both run strong and quiet. Currently my car has a bad LA 318 with a lock-up...

Can these same techniques be used on a set of 302 casting heads ?

Nice job with all the info 318willrun! Loving this thread. Keep that sorcery comin! Super interested to see how she runs once you're all done!

Subscribed. Looking forward to seeing what "sorcery" you will be practicing! lol

Maybe I jumped the gun by saying it was the connecting rod as I can't see exactly yet as the block is still in the car. But what else could it be, piston pin? I found quite a bit of material in the oil that I suspect was from a bearing.

Hey alpha, the intake and carb were on the 318. I was gonna install the heads and cam before she went boom...so the heads are off and #6 piston stays down in the cylinder while the rest move when I spin the crank. So the engine will come out completely over the next few days. I'll post pics when...

Whats your suggestion Rusty? I'd like to incorporate these parts that I've had sitting around.

Yes. The 360s I'm finding seem to be mid to late 70s engines from rv's. Thanks for those links. Would you suggest installing my heads cam and carb in a 360 of this vintage?

A BM weighted flex plate? Where can I find one of those?

My 318 is dead. I have a later 904 with a lock up torque convertor in the dart and a 7.25 with 2.76 gears as I usually run the highway. There's a couple 318 and 360 engines for sale in my area. I have a nice set of rebuilt and ported 302 heads sitting on my shelf along with a 340 purple cam and...

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions fellas. I was thinking about the compression ratio but I know the heads have been planed to true them up. So I was hoping to be get by with just running some thin head gaskets. But I should probably pull the heads off and measure how far the pistons are in...

Hi Folks, My son and I have a 73 Swinger, 318 / 904 lock up torque and 7.25 rear. 2.76 gear, that we've been playing around with. Engine for now is pretty well stock except an Edelbrock Performer intake and Edelbrock 600 carb. Factory manifolds to dual exhaust. We just picked up a 1968 B-Body...
