    Flexplate and TC for a BluePrint 408 Magnum

    Personally I like Yank torque converters out of Akron ohio. They are owned by gearstar transmissions. They are 100% custom, and will build one specific to the car. High-Performance Transmissions, Custom-Built - Gearstar Yank Custom Built Racing & Performance Torque Converters If you are...

    Flexplate and TC for a BluePrint 408 Magnum

    Morning all, Let me try and clear up any confusion on the matter. Even though our engine uses a Mangum block, it's built to be as close to an LA engine as possible. The only thing "magnum" about it, is the block, the weight on the harmonic balancer, and the intake bolt pattern. The REAR...

    jegs-which year 360 crate is best?

    I was the first to say, that there's nothing bad about the others listed, they just get assistance achieving that price point by reusing many of the original components. Cranks, re-grinding cams, rockers, etc. ATK is owned by LKQ which is a large automotive recycler. You're not wrong saying...

    jegs-which year 360 crate is best?

    At about 19 years old (long before BluePrint and on a budget) I thought the same thing with a sbc 383. Why on EARTH would I pay anyone to build ME an engine, let alone a crate, when I can buy the parts for 2,000. Hell a crate at the time was probably 3000. That was untouchable to me at the...

    jegs-which year 360 crate is best?

    Looks like all you guys have me covered as usual, thanks for that!!! BluePrint Engines is a great company, but being we aren't a reman /auto recycler company like ATK/LKQ, I can't touch a $2000 engine. Thats not a knock, just a factual statement. The only thing seasoned in our 408 mopar is the...

    Dip stick length

    Hard to oil starve the cam when it's below oil level lol. I do admit, when I first threw the dipstick in mine, I could feel it hitting the Crank journal while spinning around in there. Lol trim trim

    You wouldn't believe the number of guys that'll put 14 quarts of oil in a smallbock before considering thier aftermarket dipstick may be "slightly" off lol

    Total "bill of material" for Aluminum head swap / Advice on where to save $ welcome...

    I don't know what decision was ultimately made here, as i see i missed this from January, but for the sake of future readers, the aluminum headed roller motor does in fact use a bare edelbrock casting, that we assemble/machine here. Also...you guys know how warranties work. There's the legal...

    Magnum SFI Ballancer.

    Yes...I'm familiar with putting an LA cover on a magnum... do it daily. my worry for @mopar65 is that if that damper is merely an LA damper, with multiple weight selections, he will have spacing issues getting magnum pulleys to work on an actual magnum cover.

    Magnum SFI Ballancer.

    good feedback. Are you using a magnum timing cover and pulleys? or LA?

    Magnum SFI Ballancer.

    If you just mean Magnum balance...your choices are pretty slim. Turboking above is correct. if you mean actual magnum with a serp belt, i believe ATI makes one. I didn't source one from ATI for a reason. i cant remember if it required a spacer for the standard LA timing cover/belt spacing...

    Title is a little misleading.lol i opened this expecting to see rods hanging out the bottom of a block...not a minor ignition issue that can probably be fixed for somewhere in the $12-$80 range :p
