Does anyone out there know where that I can get one of these. It is an early 360 engine pre magnum. Jegs have the part number but they are out of stock.. 555-210495 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks................Ted

Thank you very much. Ted

I am putting my chain cover back on and there is a thick rubber type of seal that goes on the pan. My question is this. If you look from the top of the seal it has the (we will call these the 2 holders that go into the pan) it appears that one is not on center. It looks like it would be one...

You had the block honed so that were the slop is from. If you look at some catalogs they will offer you the correct set up. Ted

There is the possibility that the crank sprocket is marked incorrectly. Ted

OK, lets back up a bit. When you say that you haven't checked the vacuum advance, does that mean that it's not hooked up at this time?

Have you checked/adjusted the ignition timing? If it's not getting enough advance it will run hot. That's where I would start. Ted

Moper is spot on when he says "timing first and then tune the carb". Although it does sound like your low speed circuit is a tad lean. One other thing you need to be aware of is that this type of carb (Edlebrock- Carter) runs a lower fuel pressure than a Holley would use. I believe they want no...

My 408 is a very similar build. I'm running the late iron smog heads. I did some mild port work on them and put in a 2.02 intake valve. The static compression is 9.4 to 1. When it came time to pick a cam I too called Bullet. At first I was a little skeptical of their recommendation but I worked...

This X 2.

Well I just ran a few numbers and from what I see you'll wind up with 9.6 to 1 corrected compression and over 200 pounds of cylinder pressure. Do you have good quality fuel over there?

Oh and one other thing I forgot to say. I did a quick search for one of those cams and it took me to a Chevy pick up truck site. I keep jumping on this topic because you have a large diameter tappet in that engine and you're giving up some power if you don't utilize it. Your cam choice is a...

I have never had my engine on a dyno but I did race it once. It was hard to launch the car due to lots of wheel spin but I was able to coax a 12.88 @ 108 mph pass out of it. This was with a 2.000 sixty foot time. I was shifting the car @ 5500 rpm and it weighed 3520 lbs that day. So with that...

Rob is absolutely correct about ProTorque. They are awesome!! So getting back to your cam, with that compression and that gear IMHO you will really need something made just for you. My 408 has 9.4 compression with 596 heads 3.55 gear with a 28"tire. My converter is rated @ 2400 but we all know...

I'm assuming that this is a non magnum (flat tappet) engine. Your build is similar to my 408. Mine is a flat tappet hydraulic and what I did was call Bullet Cams and had them grind me one based on the info I supplied to them. There's 2 good reasons that I can say for doing that. One is when you...

Do you plan on putting these into service any time soon?

I'm getting right around 15 miles per gallon on the highway with my 408. Holley 750 vac/secondary & that's with 3.55s and a 28" tire. Ted

I would be interested in those pictures. Ted

I know that Crane recommends .060" of preload. And as said in post #4 you really should find out what the thread pitch is in the rocker arm. So lets say it has a 16 thread per inch thread. Then one full turn would give you .062" of travel. Then sometimes you just have to do it the way...

I'm using those mounts also. Ted

I have a mile of room with mine. Ted

When I bought my Dart it had a set of Headmans on it already and they were lets call it (clearanced) to fit the power steering. It was more like flattened. Just recently I replaced them with a set of Hooker's and I can say that the Headmans were harder to get out than the Hookers were to get...

I've never heard that. I've got the Viton style seals on both intake & exhaust and there's no problem. Sounds like another urban legend to me. Ted

Wish you lived closer Sam, I would let you drive my car...but then you will want a 4-speed :burnout: I think that deep down inside EVERYONE wants a 4 speed!!! Ted

Sam, you should see (as said above) approximately a 300 rpm drop. That could put the engine right where it wants to be. I agree with your first post. I would take that chevy grind cam out. Ted

What diameter tire are you running? Ted

In my Dart I'm running 3.55's with a 28" tire. 65 M.P.H. is 2900 rpm. It has a 904 with a 2500 converter. I'm getting over 15 miles to the gallon with my mild 408 and I really cant complain about how it accelerates. I haven't gotten to the track yet so I cant tell you really how fast/slow it is...

I see you said that they are going to line hone the block but are they going to deck and square it before they bore it? Ted

Are these the type that you're thinking of? These are Teflon and were commonly referred to as Crane seals. Ted
